I may be mistaken, but I am assuming that your DD doesn't have a baby. I couldn't imagine having a baby and being offered a beautiful baby blanket made by my grandmother and turning it down. Good for you for repurposing the blanket. I'll bet it's lovely.

Our kids are getting to the stage of having babies of their own. So now I use all those blankets I had for them when the grandsons visit.

Jannie, that's a great idea! So much better than being hidden away in a closet.

Forty-seven years ago I knitted a blanket for my niece. She was the first-born of our family's children. That blanket then went to her brother. From there my sister-in-law passed it on to her sister. It was used for the sister's son and daughter; then, found it's way back to my SIL, who returned it to me when my children were born.

I was cleaning out the linen closet last winter when I discoverd the blanket, looking none the worse for wear, in a box at the back of the closet.

Shows what using a good yarn can endure.
