But my many years of being baby nurse tells me that wee ones can do a lot worse things to blankies than pee on them--at least pee washes out fairly easily. Of course that doesn't say much for the work of blocking :-D Seriously though, the lace is spectacular and that's one lucky kid IMHO. Bravo to you for knitting such a masterpiece!

I rather liked many of the ideas you had there too. I'd have a hard time choosing from those too. Perhaps put one of them, your favorite, into Latin or some other language? :-P As always, I appreciate your brilliant writing talents, as it always ensures that I have to use my brain and enjoy it too. ;-) Oh, and one suggestion-- perhaps you could do the christening shawl with the beginning of a phrase, and then see if you can make other pieces to add and make a blanket or bedspread for the kiddo that would have the WHOLE phrase on it. That might work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592194824090222531noreply@blogger.com
