OT: Exciting news!

I can tell the world now.....

I'm gonna be a grandma! DS & DIL are expecting their first child next
June.

Now, what to stitch...what to stitch? I know there's a baby blanket
in the near future but I imagine I will be making other things, too.

Hee hee Granny - I saw some baby yarn in my yarn shop the other day
that is oh so soft and lovely. I understand it is new. Do be sure to
check out the newest yarns before you start, even I could feel an urge
to use some of that yarn. It looks almost like chenille when knitted
up.

First and foremost. ASK the expectant mother what she would like!!!
She may have very decided ideas. For instance, when my dd was expecting
her first, she anounced that the nursery WOULD be decorated in
Beatrix Potter. Nothing else. A sampler which came from her inlaws was
very grudgingly hung up only when they were expected to visit (mind you,
in fairness, it was very poor work, unevenly stitched and with a very
lumpy back and lots of show-through).

She also announced that anything I knit for the baby had to be in
acrylic. No wool, not even machine-washable, just acrylic. Not the
cheap, scratchy acrylic, the good stuff mind you (as if I would use
anyhthing else!). Unfortunately, her MIL crocheted a dress out of very
cheap, scratchy yarn from WalMart, which was put on once for a picture,
and never seen again (I told her not to throw it out, just save it for a
dolly).

With those caveats, congratulations. Baby things are such fun to make,
as long as you know they will be used and appreciated.
