So, my cousin had her baby which meant we could give her this:

Nothing terribly interesting. It’s the basic SnB baby-blanket knitted on nice, artesano alpaca (two strands held together). The only modifications were the addition of edge stitching. It was nice, actually, knitting something with my mum, partly for the sense of continuity, partly because she has very nice, even stitches, but also for the sense of power and authority I got from explaining little bits to her.

The blanket was designed to go with the modified leafy convertible- knit so that my cousin could get something and it wasn’t all for the baby, knit in the same yarn, but single-stranded.
