Congrats - my Mum knitted a blanket for both of my kids (very modern and bright) and I use them all the time.  I'll keep these as keepsakes for each of them, I have a blanket that my great grand mother knitted for me as a baby.

My mum knitted both my boys blankets before they were born and they are VERY much loved by the boys.  Mr 2s blanket recently had to be returned to mum for some repairs because it is dragged along the floor everywhere!

Uni your knitting is lovely. Mum made DD an entire set out of that wool. Poor kid wore it home from the hospital wrapped in a  circular crocheted shawl that had been made for me to come home many years before. It was a warm day so DH picked us up early and we had the air con on high so the poor baby could wear all these woolly garments.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Wow congrats Uni!  I can certainly feel your excitement building!  ;D

I'll also vote for the cloth nappies... they are the cutest... and save heaps in $$ and the environment.  I had two in cloth for around 18 months and it was a breeze!

My mum is a knitter too... I only wish she'd been keen enough to knit for my babies!  :-*

Who needs teaching to be a Grand-parent  ???  We are Grand-parents because we have already been parents and we are damn good at it  ;D ;D
