But there are so many awesome patterns for throws/blankets/afghans out there. Approximately 2356 more than I’d actually need. There’s e.g. the Clock-Blanket from Charmed Knits which is just awesome. I’ve also got Debbie Abrahams Blankets and Throws to Knit, where I love all but one or two patterns. The new Knitting Green-book I bought has also a beautiful pattern for a blanket…and then I’m considering for quite a while to knit a patchwork-planket from my leftover yarns…and there are so much other on Ravelry. But apart from taking quite some time to knit you actually can have to much blankets (opposed to socks for example)…*sighs*

Too many blankets? No!
When you have enough, you can always send one my way. 
But seriously. If you want to knit or crochet blankets, do it and enjoy it. Then carefully pack them away until the right gift-giving occasion arises. It may be next year when a dear friend or family member has a baby and you have the perfect baby blanket already to give. Or it may be many years down the road when you give your children a special blanket as a wedding gift. But make them now and enjoy every moment of the knitting/crocheting.
Now, that’s enough advice from me for today.
