Ready to go

I finished these adorable little booties this weekend. (Pattern here.) They go with the cardigan in this post. I think they turned out absolutely adorable! I whipped up a quick card today (but forgot to take a picture) and packaged it up to bring it to my mom's house. Unfortunately I can't attend the baby shower - it's just too far away. But I know this adorable set is going to a good home *wink*

Knit on!!

So Sweet

This little cardigan is so sweet it almost makes me want to have another baby.......just kidding!! When my DD was born, my aunt knit her a sweater very similar to this one. I adored it and was determined to find a similar pattern to make for babies. I found this pattern and thought it would do the trick. It's so darn cute and a fairly quick knit.

I made this out of Bernat Softee Baby....a super soft acrylic yarn. Knitting for babies really should be done out of a soft washable material, and acrylic is just perfect. (We all know how many times a baby will spit up on something, so washable is the key.) And there is even enough left over for me to make a pair of booties and maybe even a matching hat!

Now I just need to swing by my local Joann's for some buttons, sew in a few loose ends and it'll be done! Now.....who do I know that's expecting a baby?????????

Knit on!
