I'm a Great- Aunt!!
Imogen was born on Thursday morning. It will be a while before I get to see her for a cuddle so a woolly hug is on it's way to her.
This has been the year of baby blankets, most of the others were finished so close to the deadline that I forgot to take pictures. I'd finished this in April so it made a guest appearance at Wonderwool.
I don't know the name of the pattern as it was from a vintage sheet of Gran's but loved the shapes it created.
The family link continued as I used 2ply from Gran's stash to knit it with and the clever girl managed to arrive on her Great, Great Uncles birthday - he has nominated this his best present ever!

Posted by: alltangledup at July 1, 2009 08:14 PMsorry just realised she is Imogen - a really pretty name - my brain is mince today
Posted by: juliet at June 29, 2009 09:41 PMFabulous - a gorgeous blanket for a no-doubt gorgeous baby - does she have a name - maybe the blanket pattern could be named after her
Anyway, congrats to all and hope mum recovers quickly
