Hello everyone! I know I have neglected this blog for the last year or so. I have finally found some time again to knit. I have taken off time from making doll clothes so I can make clothes for my little baby boy that still lives inside me. In about 20 weeks he should make an appearance! Of course when you are pregnant the pregnancy police come out in full force. My step mom and own mother think that I shouldn’t be knitting for babies as they are allergic to wool. I googled and found little information. I did read that the quality of the wool and softness makes allergies less likely. I knit with cashmere which is a goat, so does that even count? Anyone have any input?

Well anyways, the first thing I knit for baby was a diamond pattern blanket from a 1950’s pattern from the Bear Brand Baby Book, Vol 339. It has a very classic elegant look to it. I thought it appropriate for either gender of baby. I can’t believe a real little baby will be snuggled in this shortly!
