While I love you with every fibre of my being, your mother is driving me mad by not letting me know whether you're a boy or a girl!
It would be so much easier to knit stuff for you if I had an idea of what precisely to knit. At the moment, you're going to have a wardobe full of multi-coloured (mostly made of self-patterning sock yarn) booties, mittens and hats with the ocassional white cardigan thrown in.
It's only approx 10 weeks until you join us on this fair planet so please, instead of kicking your darling Dad in the ear, kick your wonderful Mum and tell her to get on with letting us know what you are!
Much Love,
Auntie Emma.
In other news, I discovered today that pattern designers are not Gods. I've completely falled in love with an absolutely gorgeous baby blanket for the little one mentioned in the above sweater that's knit in Hummingbird Alpaca. The slight problem is that I haven't attempted anything that big before so am naturally a little nervous about it.
The lovely lady who works in my not-so-local yarn shop (seriously, it's a 2hour round trip by bus and I live in London!) sat me down and talked me through the pattern and then informed that even the blanket is made up of one piece, it's actually made of blocks of different patterns and could therefore be knitted up in separate pieces and then sewn together.
This idea astounded me! The thought of actually going against something that's written in a pattern had honestly never occured to me before.
