Gifts for the new baby...

Several of my friends have asked what we need for the new baby, or how they can send a gift easily. I've made a paypal button, if you'd like to send a monetary gift, here's an easy way to do it.

Baby blankets...

Baby number 4 is due in early July. I started blankets back in November on several different sets of knitting needles. I just couldn't find anything I was happy with. I've since pulled them all apart (almost) and have gone back to my old standby. Crochet. A lovely blanket made up of squares. It will be beautiful, even if I am disappointed in my ability to make a knit one.

I know I CAN make a knit one, I just feel like it's going to take me until the baby is 4. This just won't do, the baby needs to have a blankie to come home with. I'm not sure why my knitting is so slow. Maybe that's why I stick to tiny projects like socks and hats. Will it ever improve? Will my beautiful children ever be able to have a hand knit blanket from their Mommy? I hope so.

Back to the needles... or rather, the hook, in this case.
