I have been working on this blanket for my son, Peter (due in November) for months. It's one of those things that I pick up from time to time, work on it, then forget about it for a while. However, lately, I've gotten more into working on it, so I hope to finish it soon. In the middle, there will be another blue stripe, and then at the end, there will be another blue corner.
If you would like to see a finished version of my baby blanket, go to this entry to view one that I made for a friend's child. Also click on that link to see how the blanket was made.
If you are pregnant, I would definitely advocate making things for your baby. It will be a special keep-sake for them in the future. I intend to make Peter some baby socks as well. I also feel like knitting Peter his blanket is a bonding time for me and the baby. I listen to music I want him to hear and knit and talk to him. Pregnant women go through a period of "nesting" which is a natural, instincful process of getting ready for the baby. Knitting is a wonderful way to release that "nesting" energy.
My aunt is also talking about us making a quilt for Peter. If you know me, you know quilting is not my thing, unless it's on a potholder, which is small. So we'll see if I end up doing that. :-)
