I know I’m always saying I can’t knit. Well, I can actually. I can knit little squares. No, they’re not for testing the gauge – that’s my real knitting.
This little blanket was started way way way back in time (here to be precise) and I only got half way before Astrid was born. But now I’m back in the land of being able to buy Debbie Bliss cotton DK in nice colours I might be able to revert it to all lilacs and blues and have it finished on time.
“On time?”, I hear you ask. Yes! On time. In approximately 28 weeks – that’s January to you and me. January. That ought to give me enough time to finish it don’t you think?
HEY! Congratulations :) That is such amazing news!!!
Cool news and a good reason to take up the knitting needles!!
Woo! You and me both, sista, although I’m due late December, I tend to run a bit late.
Congratulations!
Ooh, you slipped that in subtlety! Congratulations.
My second is a January baby – they’re extra special! Congratulations.
Congratulations!
Oh Congratulations! That is such exciting news.
Congratulations! Happy news.
What wonderful news! Congratulations. How have you coped with 1st trimester mixed up with international move? I did that too, and found it quite tiring, even without a little one to chase.
Hope you stay well, and I’ll look forward to seeing the blanket in all its glory.
Wow! Congratulations! That is so exciting. Get knitting!
woo hoo! congrats to you and your little family, charlotte!
Congratulations!
Oh, wonderful, wonderful news! Congratulations, Charlotte!
You might just get it finished. Just :)
Congratulations, and I want to see stuffed toys please.
oh my god! congratulations, Charlotte!! that’s so good news!
on time!? on time!? i almost missed that. i had to go back and read it again. charlotte, what wonderful news. wishing you well in these next 28 weeks. and, of course, beyond. (ps – did you see sarah’s new gocco swap?)
Congrats! Wonderful news!
As for the squares – I am not making this up – my sister can only knit squares. She started a very similar blanket (with bigger squares) to this BEFORE her first was born….he is now 7 1/2 years old. And every autumn I get a phone call: ‘How do you cast on again’? Lol….so don’t put it off too long! ;)
Congratulations! For a new baby it just has to be knitting, doesnt it?
Looking forward to seeing the finished blanket.

congratulations. You know you really need to finish this because once you have another child it may just stay this way forever.
trust me I have plenty of WIPS in my house.
I also have about 25 crocheted squares I started over a year ago, I take my cotton, squares and hook everywhere lately…ballet classes, school pick up, every moment I try to get some done…it is the only way.
WOW! Wonderful news! Glad you are settling in too!
Oooh Congratulations! Thats exciting news!
ps. am still knitting my blanket (non baby themed)… one year later and am still knitting borders- I hope yours is speedy!
Fabulous news Charlotte, just wonderful, all the best ClareX
