To keep this blanket...

[NeedANewTattoo]

I knitted this for my brothers baby boy due in September but love it and want to keep it. If I do another it won't be quite the same.

Can you do another one for your nephew and keep that one?

[BYOSnowman]

Why don't you do another and see how you feel when it's done.

I did this!

In the end though I gave nephew the one I made for him. All the way through doing it, in my head it was his. So it felt like I was keeping his blanket.

Then I kept the second one.

Does it have to be the same?

[NeedANewTattoo]

It can't be the same as its all odds and ends of balls of wool picked at random. I didn't know whether I was knitting for a niece or nephew when I started it so it has some sparkly pink in it. It does feel like it's already his.
I may have to get some monster needles and make an adult size one.

It's very beautiful. I'd keep it an knit him something else.... maybe go a little more down the 'blue/boyish' colour route in order to justify it.

I know everyone hates gender colouring on here but most people won't take offence of something with a bit of blue in it upon having a boy. And then you get to keep it or you can give it to me
