The timing of its arrival was so perfect that I had just sat down after a morning of baking and tidying up when the nice delivery man pulled up in my driveway with the lovely big bag of wool.
About an hour and a half later, this is what i had done.
It's good fun. It grows fast and so far isn't too hard to keep track of.
It's a special blanket. During my brief pregnancy, I was planning all sorts of baby knitting, but most especially a blanket. Not this one, per se, but some others. This blanket is my way of not letting myself feel robbed of that experience. It will be a way to remember and I'm thankful to the new friend I've made who, in an email about her experience, told me she had made a blanket in memory of her loss, too.
It'll be the perfect project to work on during our time away. Just a few days. We'll be back next week.
