USA, AL (prHWY.com) October 29, 2012 - USA, Oct 29, 2012 - We are expanding our range over the coming months to fill our new warehouse, so keep checking back to see our new products as they become available. We sell a range of odd balls of wool that have been left over from larger orders that have been sent out. We offer these at various percentages below our normal selling price, so it's worth taking a look if you are just after one ball of wool.

Knitting Patterns - What can you gift the parents of a new-born baby who have everything? Parents who have already had a baby or two will already have objects like a crib, baby's clothes, a pram and most other items, but the one gift that is always appreciated is a personalized or handmade knitted blanket. Home knitted baby blankets are much better than shop-purchased baby blankets and can either be passed down or kept to give to the baby twenty years later as an heirloom.

Up until fifty years ago, many individuals, such as aunts and grandmothers knitted and it was quite common to see hand-knitted baby blankets. This all but died out in the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties, but handcrafts have seen a resurgence in the new millennium. That has to be a positive sign. Coupled with this is the fact that modern wools, yarns and other fibres are more sturdy and safer than ever before.

That means that a hand-knitted baby blanket is a better present than ever before. There are dozens of colours and textures which makes it easy for the knitter to match any theme that the parents may have decided on for the baby's nursery. The next baby or can be put away to be a present for the 'baby' at a later date, in the same way that a bride may put away her bridal gown for her daughter if she ever has one.

Whilst you are deciding on a design for your baby blanket, you should make safety your prime thought. This should include thought for the size or the blanket. The blanket has to fit the cot exactly so that there are no dangerous folds or gaps. The weave should also be tight enough so that small fingers and toes cannot get tangled up in them.

It is not good to have beads sewn into the blanket either. This is because babies soon begin teething and you do not want your baby to bite off a few beads and choke on them. Traditionally, parents used blue colours for a boy baby and pink for a girl and although that distinction blurred for a few decades it is being respected again so you will have to find out the sex of the baby - subtly if the knitted blanket is going to be a surprise gift.
