Although in some ways it would be easier, for the most part doubleweave, particularly on a counterbalance loom like mine, is more difficult.<\/p>\n

During these hours of preparing the loom for Gavin’s security blanket, I’ve thought a lot about the task Caitlin faces – transitioning Gavin to the new blanket. It will neither look, smell, nor feel like his beloved blanket. I never had to face this particular problem with my kids. <\/p>\n

Caitlin may well have a plan for how she’ll increase her odds of success, but I think it’d be great if moms, dads, grandparents, or others who’ve dealt with this situation offered the benefit of their wisdom and experience. So please comment – how did you get a new blanket accepted?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
