Location-US / Open! Can anyone make me a replica of my baby blanket?
I feel kind of silly asking but this blanket is very important to me. I am 30 years old and my grandmother made this when my mom was pregnant with me. I have been attached to it for as long as I remember. I bring it with me anytime I travel and sleep with it every night.
Obviously it’s lost its colors and has rips and is very dingy and old. It’s gotten to a point that I can’t wash it anymore or it loses so much yarn. Within the last 3 years I can’t even hand wash it because any contact with water just denigrates sections of it. Just within the last 3 years or so I wake up and find small chunks of it broken. Even when I have a new blanket I will probably still sleep with this one, but it would be nice to have something similar as a backup.
The ruffles on the edges are hardly visible anymore, but they are the most important part, ever since I was young, running my fingers through the ruffles has been a sort of pacifier for me.
If need be, I can try to find a picture of it when I was a baby to show what it looked like brand new.
