Dear, lovely Megan tells us that she is expecting. Her first!! We are all so, so excited. Naturally, I want to knit something for the baby. I’m the only knitter in the family, and I love to knit for kids.
Let’s see…she wants a boy. Um, well. So much for the huge tubs of pink, girly yarn I have meticulously stored for year after year… (I am actually trying to “knit down the stash.” Yes, really!!) I don’t have any baby-pastels. (Er, none, except for some fancy non-washable stuff.) I have some boring white DK….I’ll use it if I must…
Hold on. What about this….?
It’s some organic beaverslide, from a wonderful hand-dyer and mommy, here in Oregon. The colors spoke to me (i.e., rainbow is my fave!) I got it last year, and haven’t touched it yet. Washable, yes? Yes! I started a baby blanket. Just now!

that’s going to be an awesome blanket.
I love it and I’m sure the baby will. A nice change from all the pastels that babies get.
Oh and I just tagged you for a meme. Come to my blog for the rules.
And I think socks would go quite nicely or booties.
