Baby news

We have a baby!

It's been quiet round here for a few weeks while I've been on the beginnings of maternity leave. Well I finally have news for you: I gave birth to my second daughter last week!

She is amazing, and I'm enjoying lots of precious newborn cuddles. Having already had two babies, I know that the snuggly sleepy phase won't last long, so excuse me while I go and spend some more time just gazing at her.

Happy knitting (I've managed a whole two inches of baby sleeve since she arrived!).

Hand-me-down

A little over four years ago I knitted my Fluffy White Clouds blanket while watching the Winter Olympics and eagerly anticipating the arrival of my second child. My daughter arrived that summer and used the blanket most nights for the first year of her life. When she turned one, we decided the blanket should be put away and replaced with something a bit bigger.

Here I am again, a few years later, fondly remembering those early days with my daughter, while also being excited for the future: in just a few weeks time the blanket will be coming out of storage and being used by my third baby. I cannot wait.
