My newest knitting project is a white blanket for a precious, yet unborn, baby boy or girl. The pattern is the Pine Forest Baby Blanket, modified. I'm using a wool-acrylic blend yarn (Berroco Vintage DK) which is machine washable and dryable, making it a good choice for baby items.
A few days ago I spent the day with three of my five daughters. We went to town and shopped and ate and drank coffee (okay, I was the only one who drank the coffee) and ate chocolate and looked at art galleries and ate some more and looked at antique shops and ate again (I had forgotten how hungry pregnant women can be!) and just enjoyed hanging out together. We missed my lives-in-Switzerland daughter tremendously, but it was a fun and enjoyable day otherwise. It was a day that I hope to repeat many, many times. I am so blessed.

Great minds think alike!
Lovely photo of the 4 of you.....enjoy all the excitement to come xx
Those are beautiful blankets! Thank you for the link.
DeleteThat was a special time! I sure know that feeling of having a good time with my sister (and s-i-l's) but missing the rest of them. (Not as far as Switzerland for sure, but scattered across the country.) Looks like Jessica is one of the expectant mothers - exciting!
