Well, I can finally post about a couple projects that I did in the last few months, as they were gifts that have now been given. My friend Cheryl was pregnant with her first baby, so I got to make some cute baby knits! Cheryl wanted to be surprised by the sex of the baby, so she got plenty of yellow and green clothes!
The first thing I made was a cute little pair of baby booties. I used the Saartje's Bootees pattern, and they are adorable. I used sock yarn dyed by my friend Lori in the sunflower colorway from her etsy shop.
I also made an Elizabeth Zimmermann Baby Surprise Jacket to go with the booties. I tried to match Lori's sunflower colorway as best I could using several different colors of lamb's pride worsted weight yarn. I think it came out to match pretty well.
Cheryl's baby shower was several weeks ago, and her little baby got some super cute presents (mostly in green - we all hope the baby ends up liking green!).
Here she is opening the presents from me - it looks like she is thinking that these booties aren't going to fit her.
The sweater on the other hand will probably fit her after she loses the baby weight. She's so tiny!
