Here's the idea: a baby blanket made up of individual squares that have the alphabet emboss-knitted on them. It's a simple enough idea really, just labor-intensive—all knit and purl, maybe a little seed stitch to jazz up the borders, then sew them together...maybe the alphabet and the numbers 0 through 9; that would be 36, or 6 x 6. It'd be easy enough to sketch the blocks out on graph paper...and if I decide to bag the idea halfway through, I'd still have washcloths.
But one of the things holding me back (besides all my other UFOs), is the idea that I'm jinxing myself by building something like that. I'm not all that superstitious, but I also know that I wouldn't be making it for someone else's baby, no matter what I'd tell myself; I'd be making it for our potential, eventual small Johnson person. And isn't that tempting fate somehow? Hmm...
Luckily too many other projects on needles at the moment...
