Are you surprised to hear from me? I have taken a short hiatus to... well... grow a few people. And to knit them wee garments. Double of everything. They have little sweaters to go with these booties and little hats to match. I have actually been quite the knitting fool, in between eating ridiculous amounts of food and sleeping 13 hours a night. And still working full time. And getting the nursery set up. And did I mention sleeping whenever possible?
Where were we? Ah, yes. Knitting for the babies. At some point I realized that as a knitter, I cannot in good conscience clothe the new monsters in anything I have not knit for them myself. Ergo, baby knitting. Which ROCKS. I've been using Debbie Bliss patterns for the booties and cardigan, and a Louisa Harding pattern for the beanie caps. Here's one of the cardigans:
I just need to sew the snap bands on these guys and they will be good to go. Cuz buttons on a wiggly baby? Not so much. Especially not with TWO wiggly babies. :DBaby knitting is fast becoming my favorite pastime. It's quick, it's easy, it uses up remnants, and it's SO FREAKIN CUTE. What's not to love?
those booties are SO cute!! So is the little blue sweater. Isn't baby knitting the best? Got to love that near-instant gratification of a quick knit.
ReplyDeleteThose little booties - aw, so cute! Does blue mean two boys for sure? And when are they coming?? (great work growing those little babies - lots of rest!)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Good think you love baby knitting so much since you are on double duty!
ReplyDeleteAwww, little wee baby stuff! In duplicate! You deserve a hiatus..."growing a few people" I'm sure takes a lot of energy. :)

ReplyDeleteI was revisiting a profile CanaryKnits did of my cowl pattern and I saw your nice comment. I came over here to thank you and lo and behold...I find out your gestating twins! So did I! Mine are B/G and are age 6 now. I got absolutely HUGE - more than 200 lbs on a 5' 2" frame. Hmmmm. A sight to see. I'm wishing you all the luck in the world. Hey - you might check out my friend Karen's new pattern for a baby sweater at www.knit1chgo.com or kclem on Ravelry. She has an amazing $500 giveaway going on, too!
