Our three oldest children never had a blanket they were attached to, despite my efforts. I had always imagined it would be so cute to see a little one waddling along with their blanket trailing behind them but, alas that was not to be. UNTIL – Our fourth child came along and a very special, dear friend we made after moving here to Canada knitted him the most beautiful, soft, cream blanket. He is nine now and still sleeps with it on his bed.When his little sister came along our friend knitted her a blanket too, and she has also loved it dearly.
