There's nothing quite like having a friend who sends you a "Welcome, Baby!" package with a gift like this inside. This particular friend is a linguist who loves words and names and meanings, an incredibly skilled knitter, and a wonderfully thoughtful gift-giver. Combine those things and what do you get for your Maranatha Eleanor?
A handcrafted blanket rich with symbolism--made with "Light in the Darkness" yarn and designed with flame-tip ends. (And it smells really good, to boot.)
Thank you, Jori. <3
What a thoughtful gift - and an awesome blanket!
ReplyDeleteI know it! One of those baby gifts that you do your best both to use and to keep in nice shape; I want Maranatha to be able to have it to hold onto when she's all grown up. :)
DeleteThe yarn is wool and cashmere. It may fuzz a little, but should last. If you need to wash it, swish in a sink of warm/tepid water with a little shampoo, rinse, and hang to dry.
DeleteYou're very welcome! I look forward to every new baby name from you with great anticipation. :D <3
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, it's fun to have someone so keen on guessing baby names. :) You're going to have to keep it up or else we'll break our informal tradition of you being the first person to know the babies' names...
DeleteAnd more blanket gushing--I was at my sister Abby's house yesterday and she was exclaiming over this post (well, over your blanket). It's a stunner. We all agree.
WOW!
