Thanks!

Wow! That is awesome. The wrap in particular is lovely.

[deird1]

Thanks! I'm having fun. :)

Wow, that jacket is beautiful. The pattern is very striking.

I like the blanket, too - it reminds me of the things my Granny used to crochet. (That is a very good thing; I am honored to have one of her bedspreads.)

I am honoured to be compared to her...

:)


The jacket is by Doris Chan - who tends to go in for striking patterns. I have so many of her designs on my list of stuff I need to make.

Lucky baby that gets to have that blanky! :-D

Thankyou again- I'm still a little stunned at such a beautiful handmade present. But baby might make it dirty! Maybe I can hang it on the wall instead...? ;-)

[deird1]

Pretty things are made to be used! (And I'm pretty sure hanging it on a wall would stretch it in weird directions.)

So glad you like it! I got excited and had to make stuff...

That's what my mum says, too. :-)

Yeah, best to let the kid go for it and have fun using it. Hand-washing is okay, yes?

My first handmade baby gift, yay! I shall take a photo and put it on my blog. :-)

[deird1]

Handwashing, yes. :)

I'd like to mention how madly excited and thrilled I am to hear about said baby :)

[immer_am_lesen]

Aw, thankyou! :-)
I'm pretty excited, too...it's creeping ever closer now, and I do wonder sometimes how we'll cope! I hear they're pretty forgiving little things though, so with luck all will be well. :-)
I don't post on my LJ blog any more, but I'll probably put up a photo on my other blog when things have happened. :-)
