As a mother, I am always drawn to babies. As an aspiring midwife, babies hold a special place in my heart. While watching the BBC version of Emma, I was struck by the thought of baby Emma. Surely she would have a blanket—a special piece that would have been knitted just for her. I thought of the love and care that would have been put into such a blanket, quite possibly made by her mother while waiting to greet her little one. A blanket from that time period would be dainty and delicate, yet practical. It would be sturdy and able to dress up a pram. This daisy stitch pattern reminded me so much of Emma, and so I created a blanket for her.
