Well, I've finally started my duties as an auntie. didn't knit anything for my own kids when they were little nor my other nephews apart from some sock for my now 3 year old newphew a year ago. My sister is having another baby which was due last week but still hasn't turned up. It's going to be a boy. I've been meaning to knit a baby shawl or blanket for ages and finally started over Christmas. I'm knitting squares which will then be sewn together. I'll take some pics later and come back and post them. One of the features I'm planning is a large square in the middle with the baby's name (which I think is going to be Storm) and his date of birth knitted into the middle of the square, then smaller squares around it with different motives. I'll pop back later with some pics.
These are the squares for the border:

And the baby has now arrived. A boy - no name yet.
