Only thing I know is that the last two were blankets. One quilted, one
knitted. I don't want to do the same pattern again, but I would like to
give another handmade gift.
Last time I saw him was when his MIL died. The oldest was about 8 months
old at the time. A couple months later, my favorite uncle died. That's
when they found out they were expecting #2, who was probably conceived about
the same time MIL died. Both girls are doing great. IMHO, this probably
isn't a great time considering he's leaving, but that can't be helped, and
he said he was there for the important part!
At any rate, everything I send to the girls says "from your favorite aunt",

which cracks him up since I'm their ONLY aunt! <g>

How about crocheting a receiving blanket? The little triangle for the "hood"
on one corner will make it different, too.

Are you able to crochet? Possibly you could make a cot cover using
granny squares.
