  Baby Bricks Blanket

I made a few changes to the yellow and white blanket I knit and came up with this one. If DD#2 has a girl, it's hers. If not I can sell it.

Such a lovely blanket! She has to have a girl to keep it in the family... but then again, who says that a boy baby can't have a pink blankie?

Beautiful! I enjoyed the knitting lesson with clovis--tink and rip-it--

Now tell me, Marge, why can't a boy have a blanket of blue bricks separated by pink mortar? It is very beautifully knitted. Don't you think it is a pity to treat girls and boys differently, reinforcing the notion that there's only one way to become a boy/man, and one way for girls? It;s what leads to persecution in all schools - you're different to we will torment you. Or am I as usual, taking things too seriously? The border too is spectacular... is it done while you knot or added later?

Thank you so much. I have no problem with giving toy cars to little girls and dolls to little boys but boys and girls are different. As a rule, the little girl will build a sand castle decorated with anything she can find, for the car and the little boy will somehow manage to turn the doll into a weapon. (Although there are always exceptions to every rule.) When my son was an infant I would wrap him in the warmest blanket I had, to go out. It was a peach coloured blanket and every one who stopped to admire him would say, "Oh what a beautiful little GIRL. How old is SHE?"
The border is knit along with the rest of the blanket.
Interesting.....I've never heard knat used as the past tense of knit. However, knitting backwards to correct a mistake is refered to as tink (knit spelled backwards) and removing the knitted piece from the needles and pulling out row after row is called frogging because we rip-it, rip-it. (Similar sound to a frog's ribbit, ribbit.)
I could go on and on about knitting.

that was supposed to be knit, not knot. someone one told me the past tense of knit is knat. Si it is beautifully knat... others say knitted, you simply keep knit. interesting. and 'to' was supposed to be 'so we will torment'... I'm getting impatient and posting without checking... apologies.

For that blanket, I'd make sure I had a girl.
