The Christening Present

Before you get the wrong idea, I DID NOT knit this but I bought it from a little shop in a rural town in the South Island (NZ) where little old ladies sell all there hand made goodies.

I love the idea of this blanket, the whole retro, colourfulness of it all.  One day I would like to knit one myself.  Now I can honestly say that one day will be a very long long way away but I will file it away to the back of the to do list.

My little girl loved this so much that she had it on her knee in the car the whole way down to the christening.  And once she gave the present to the baby she proceeded to put it down on the floor and make her own tea party.  My friend was very understanding!
