My first real knitting project

It is no secret that Raoul's sister and I don't get along. We never really have. We are quite cordial to each other but it never goes beyond that. She just had a little boy and I wanted to do something nice for the baptism. I spent some time at Things Remembered looking for something baptismy but didn't find anything I liked. I was shopping at Wally-World for a birthday the kids have tomorrow and happened upon the craft section. Then it hit me...A BLANKET! I have been trying to knit for a long time and this is the perfect reason. I bought the softest yarn and found an adorable pattern. I have 2 months until the baptism and that should be plenty of time to get the pattern right. I'll post pictures when I am done. I am really excited!
