Gentle Knitter or maybe you prefer to be called [NAME],

This is a blanket for my sister's first baby.

I have waited a long time to be an aunt...and even longer to design this blanket.

What do you think? It's kind of Crazy isn't it...

It takes of from "Beach for a baby boy", but instead of using interlocking tubes it uses knitted in flaps.

I've broken the blanket into thirds and varied the height of the waves so that they undulate up and down.

I made them out of sync to accentuate the difference and really push the blanket into the 3rd dimention.

You see, his father is an architect so I thought he might want to teach him about shapes and spaces?

Turns out the baby is a boy so the blues are in reference to that...but not those mucky or old blues that are usually trotted out for baby colours...the most vibrant ones I could find. Well, I'm his Aunt so I have to tell him how wonderfully fab-o nature is, how colours have the energy to pick you up and take you for a ride. Maybe even a surf.

The hot pink bits are my signature.
