When a new baby arrives in our family or close friends, I knit an Oma blanket.
Often, this becomes a favorite "blankee" I am told.
Perhaps it is because of the pattern, little fingers like the texture and holes.
I can not begin to tell you how many blankees I have done over the years.
This Oma blanket was made for the newest arrival in my cousin's family.
Jackson was born in early May. Because of my move,
I got a late start on blanket.
I was determined to get it done in month.
I took it to every meeting and event here at the Redwoods.
Soon, the residents were checking on the progress of the blanket.
They will be surprised to see me today without my knitting bag.
What ever will I do with my spare time?
The Redwoods has a bazaar in November
SO there are plenty of opportunities to be knitting.
We have lots of donated yarn.
Today, I will go visit Betty, the head "Knit Picker" at The Redwoods,
and I will see what I can find to do for my next project.

Great blanket. What a great tradition. I made quilts for each of my daughter's children. My son isn't married yet and I don't think he ever will be but if he does and has children I will have to do something for them too. Memories and traditions are more important than I gave them credit for when I was young.
