That idea still weirds me out . I made a blanket for the baby's older sister before she was born but I completely spaced that this one was on the way , caught up in my own dramas and whatnot . Luckily , I had started a few rows in white just to learn a stitch ages ago , and continuing that stitch will make an acceptable woobie , I think . 
Question: Why did I forget to make the blanket ?
I was working really long hours .
