The book begins, “Most of us knit for babies today because we want to, not because we have to. We knit for them, as our grandmothers did, for the love of it. We knit because nothing else can give us the same soothing texture and emotion as a garment created by hand. While we sit and knit, our hopes and dreams are wrapped in every stitch. Few things are more scrumptious than the cozy warmth of a new baby swaddled in a lovingly handknit blanket.”
