I took the items I had made to the Neonatal Unit today and they loved them. I was asked if I would be making more. I said I would be happy to and asked what they wanted.
The larger blanket I had made was perfect for the cots so they want more of them with the lace border.
The Angel Pockets are needed as well and the Teddies are also wanted.
They like them in any pastel shade so Peach, Pink, Lemon, Green, Lilac and Blue are all fine to use.
So I will have plenty to play around with to make the blankets look pretty.
I want to add different trims to the Angel Pockets and found these
Picot Edge Scalloped Edge
The Sands lace trim was a real hit with the unit so I will make more blankets with this trim.
Sands Baby Blanket
I thought it would be nice to make a stripped blanket maybe in a moss stitch and then add a trim to the blanket top and bottom only. I will have to experiment and see how it works out.
Keeping local is great. I keep meaning to ask my local hospital if they need items like these. It would save loads on postage which I could spend more usefully on wool.
