Those of you who have been reading this for a while may remember that, back in July 2011, we were lucky enough to be invited to the wedding of some good friends of ours:
It was a glorious and very happy day and, as Stephen is a dairy farmer, there was something of a cow theme going on:
Roll on 2.5 years and, as is the way of these things (if you're lucky), a small addition to the family has now arrived - baby Henry. So, what do you give a baby of dairy farmers? A blanket with cows on it, of course!:
I knitted the blanket back in the summer and then waited for his arrival before crocheting on a suitable coloured edging and swiss darning his initials.
Welcome to the world wee Henry - you're a very lucky boy to have a set of truly lovely parents.
(We'll have to open a book on whether his first word will be "tractor" or "cow"!!)
Wow! What a great design and great gift. The perfect cow blanket. Well done!
