My Gran who has passed away knitted me a shawl for my first born in 1981 and I used this only for special occasions and again when my son was born in 1983. I have kept this safe and it looks wonderful.
On hearing my daughter in law was pregnant I asked her if she would like it.
Now I am not so sure if she actually does want it. When I showed it to her she said she didn't actually know what to do with it! Imagine having to explain you wrap the baby in it! My son is now asking have I washed it as they don't want anything dirty blah!!!!!! As if I would give my grandchild something not up too scratch. As I type this I have answered my own dilemma. Keeping this at my house for cuddles with Gran.
