It was his momy's and then became his.It was made by a grandmother a long time ago. It good wool heart has a lovely leaf motif as a lace edging and a nice bit of garter and faggoting for a border.
Each motif is beautifully made.
But a few of the knots were cut short and have come loose over time. The plan is to repair when Carter can do without it for a couple of weeks. I've been waiting for two years to give blankie a hand.
It's stained
and oh so very soft.
This blanket looks like love to me. It is soft and a little careworn and tested by time and a small boys heart but it remains whole and almost better for the little glitches and stains here and there. It still hugs his shoulders and it always will. So long as he needs it, it will be his blanket. And that is surely love.
