Notes

I needed an heirloom baby blanket for photos of a newborn. This is a gift. I wanted a religious theme (her religion) for the baptism. This was perfect!
Easy to memorize as design is intuitive. Perfect for knitting at coffee, meetings, parks, or waiting for md appointments.
Easy care yarn was essential for mom.
No, I could not include every religion (aren’t there over 10,000?)…. If I was that good, I’d be designing all of your clothes or be a high religious expert. (When a designer makes a sweater, they don’t make it in every color. Or, for another example, the dinosaur sweater…. It doesn’t include every dinosaur.) The canvas is there…. make it your own just like you do with a sweater, eliminating the pockets or adding color-work. You have the same freedom as everyone to put your symbol on the blanket.
(See the comments for an actual example.)
Be confident… (wasn’t it Elizabeth Zimmerman who coined that in knitting??) You can do it!
