To tie or not to tie?
I am making a fleece blanket for my niece who will be 2-3 months old at Christmas. It's a yard of fleece and I plan to fringe the two long sides. My question is--should I just leave it fringed or tie a knot in the strip? It will be only be one layer of fleece. What are your opinions?

If it's just one layer, the knot is just going to be for esthetics so there's no right or wrong answer! Maybe tie one side (or part of one side) and compare it to an untied side and see what you like best? Depending on how long your fringe is, a knot might make it kind of stick out; more "bristly" than "fringey"...which might look good or not!
I don't have kids but I don't think there would be any safety issues with knots...
