My mom used to knit, but I never really picked it up. I'd always end up snagging something or skipping a stitch and messing up the whole thing. But if I can figure it out, I could help you make stuff.
You really don't need so much, though. We barely had anything for Judith and she got along fine. I mean, it's nice to have more -- but I promise your baby won't hold it against you if you don't.
