So I'm kinda tempted to try and knit my son a 'Transformers' logo blanket for a joke, because several peices of his soon to be stuff 'transforms'. His crib is hardwood, solid, and with tools, convertible. ((It does NOT have the drop side that has caused so many recalls in the news)). It can be adjusted to become a toddler bed and then a regular bed.
Also his new Playpen also converts to an bassinet, AND has a changing table attachment, and his car seat can also be his stroller seat, thanks to an specialized frame.
I'm -mostly- done with the pattern on the baby blanket, so I'll try and get past that today and then knit on until it's roughly in the middle of the blanket.
Had an interesting discussion on Ravelry about methods of decrease, since apparently you can make the stitches 'lean' a different way depending on how you decrease. My one major disagreement was with the person who implied that not doing both kinds of decrease indicated that you failed to care about how the results of your knitting went, and I think that's a bit snorkish... and not nessisarily true, but thats kind of the problem with blanket statements isn't it?
I mean people are entitled to their opinion, but blanket statements are really something that, especially in a disagreement, people need to be careful with, because they often cover... well... more than you intended to. Not that people can't disagree. ((God we'd all be bored witless)), but it sometimes takes a little more forethought than it gets.
That's not a crib! It's a transformer!
