Lucky Minnow
Published on Monday July 19th, 2010
My kid isn’t even born yet and I’m afraid he or she is probably spoiled already. Plenty of babies are given lovely handknit blankets at birth, but I don’t think very many can boast of anything like this:
Thanks, Auntie Katrin!
I’m promising that this gorgeous shawl will see actual use — I’ll be that incredibly stylish mama feeding my infant in public, and I’ll just dare anybody to look down his nose at a baby getting a meal from nature’s intended source under all this lettuce-green beauty — but I’m also hoping a photographer friend will take some wonderful pictures of baby Minnow lounging upon it. Not that there’s much hope of the baby being as good looking at the shawl…

Gorgeous! Not that I know anything about breastfeeding in public (or breastfeeding at all, heehee), but I think this is the most stylish accessory for it!

That shawl is so beautiful. What a lucky baby.
I fed my daughter everywhere you can think of and nobody ever said a word. Good thing. I have no patience for people who think breast feeding is something to hide or be ashamed of. My favorite are the ones who think you should take your baby into a public restroom to nurse, rather than do it out in public.

Beautiful. Much nicer than the little apron like cover I just bought for myself. I may have to knit myself a nice shawl.

That is a beautiful shawl. Amazing stitch definition. You won’t blame me if I try to pet it through the computer screen. I promise my hands are clean.

Stunning shawl, and lucky baby! Man, that color is fantastic.

Wow! Immersing a baby in such “lettuce green beauty” has to start the child on a long life of art appreciation.

Wow! What a generous knitter-auntie, and what a lucky little minnow!

That shawl is beyond stunning!!!!As I said in a post recently you only give gifts like that to fellow knitters. I tip my hat….And I know all about breastfeeding, people will more than admire that shawl but all Minnow is going to want to see is mummy beautiful face…
