It is about time that I finally am getting a proper title because I think I have been a
"great" Aunt all along ;-)
The parents of my soon to be great niece or nephew decided they wanted to step back a decade or two and find out if they have a son or a daughter when the baby arrives. Just in case it is a Boy
That is great but it made it a little more work for me. In our family babies are welcomed with homemade gifts. The last while I have been using my new found knitting skills to make blankets, booties and hats.
Traditionally we usually crochet our gifts
so I had to throw in a few crocheted booties along with my first ever knitted ones.
Thanks to JH for instructions for this receiving blanket and burp cloths.
This print is a nod to the baby's Great Grandfather. He was a rodeo cowboy in his day and would have loved this one. I figure it could be for a boy or a girl given some of my best friends are cowgirls.
I am finally ready. Now I can just sit back, relax and hope for
all the best for the newest member of our family.
