There are so many babies popping out everywhere, and I see big bellies everywhere I go, so it’s no surprise I have been knitting on some very small things.
For my niece, who was born first in my circle of baby boom, I made these lovely prezzies: A sweater of my own design in Baby Ull, a teddy in a bunny suit from a Debbie Bliss pattern, done in Falk and Baby Ull, and finally some mini converse so baby can be just like dad, also knit in Baby Ull.
For my nephew, who was born next, a sweater re-gauged from a Debbie Bliss pattern in Classic Elite Flash (i think), another Debbie Bliss bear in Falk and Baby Ull, and some creamsicle booties also in Baby Ull. Mom likes Orange. I haven’t actually seen him in person yet, but the photos look promising. He may come south for a visit in August, which will be nice.
And for a coming attraction, whose parents are planning to be surprised at the birth, a sweater of my own design in Cotton Fleece, which I have used before for baby sweaters and I think is quite nice. This is for a girlfriend at work who I am really going to miss while she’s out, but can’t wait to see the baby once he’s here! (Yeah, I think it’s a boy, but red looks nice on a girl too!)
I hate boring pastel-ly baby stuff, so I went for bright and colorful. I hope the moms like the stuff as much as I did knitting them!
I have a few more little things for the new babies, but they may wait for xmas gifts or something TBA.
There you can see my Anacondas snow globe on the right. Scary, isn’t it?
Baby boom or what?
