That sucks! Any extra vacation time to burn? Just kidding! I think something small with a note that the blankie, like the kid, is on the way would probably be fine.

You could use some of the squares you already have knitted up, couldn’t you?

Pillows are underrated for babies. They are great for playing on the floor with AND when the wee one moves to a toddler bed it is nice to have a small pillow for them to sleep with/on.

If you must give something knit, the pillow is a fantastic idea because it’s fast. The sweater idea is asking for trouble and the half-finished blanket sounds like it would bother you to give and might add to your guilt as you finish the blankie. Don’t knit guilt into a baby gift. Have fun at the shower! congrats auntie!

At the same time, I can report that I just whipped up Daisy from Knitty in about a day and it turned out really, really cute. I used Cotton Fleece and the smallest size and needed just over a skein, FYI.

I like the pillow idea with the note about the blanket.

I think it is important for them to realize how much you put into it! Good luck, Jody!
