New Beginning - Knit a Pebble and Tile Baby Blanket

It's 2018, or so I've been told.  It's a time where everyone thinks of new beginnings and hope for things to go a bit better.  In the spirit of this time I present another baby blanket for any new additions that are anticipated.

May the new year bring you joy and less worry than the one that we have left.
