Come Say Hi
Sick Day…
This is what happens when I am sick. I spent most of the day yesterday sitting on the couch, watching tv,
and knitting my first pair of socks. As you can see, I got quite a bit done…and that’s not including the times I restarted it! I am using this pattern, but sadly, they seem to be rather tight, even using a larger needle than suggested. Oh, well. They fit and I don’t think I could bring myself to undo it all and start over. Besides, the yarn kind of hides it!
Baby Bib
I wanted to make something a bit more practical for a baby than just booties and a hat. At first I thought about doing some kind of towel and/or washcloth type thing, but this is not my friend’s first baby, so I’m pretty sure she has plenty of that stuff. So I decided on a bib. Yes, she probably has plenty of those too, but a bib at least can be coordinated with clothing so it can be functional and cute. I made this pattern using bits of 100% cotton yarn. I’m pretty happy with how the embroidery turned out. I’ve never done anything like that before, so I was a bit worried. Sadly, I didn’t realize until later that I should have added some leaves…oh, well.

Cabled Baby Booties
Part 2 of my baby gift is the adorable pair of booties. The pattern is found here. As you can see, there is a little cable down the center with a pink ribbon tied into a bow…matches quite well with the hat =) This pattern was nice and easy to follow, as I have never made booties before.
Baby Shower Gifts
A friend of mine is due to have a baby girl any day. So naturally I have been making stuff! First on the list is a cabled hat found here. It was a very cute pattern that was much easier than it looks. I thought the sizes were a bit small, but then again it’s been a while since I’ve had a newborn to put a hat on =) Here are a couple of shots of the hat:
It was made with good ol’ Lion Brand Baby Soft yarn in white with a nice little pink ribbon laced through it. I didn’t manage to get a shot of the top of the hat, but the cables all join together quite nicely in the center.
