I'm working on the last sweater of the layette. After I finish it, I just have to knit an ivory bib and then I'm finished -- eight sweaters, four pairs of booties, four hats and four bibs. Whew.
Never again, unless it's for my own grandchild, and even then I think eight sweaters is a bit more than most babies can wear.
Top photo is the sweater I'm currently knitting, along with my trusty Kindle. I just started An American Heiress. No comment yet. I finished A Fall of Marigolds and would definitely recommend it.
The photo below is for those of you who wanted to see the entire layette. If you want info about patterns and yarn, just leave a comment.
See what I mean about a lot of hand-knits? Definitely double click to see it all up-close.
Go see Ginny if you want to see more than baby knits!
Oh WOW!!! But it's all so beautiful!!!!! I can see why someone wanted so many. What yarn did you use? Congrats on a job well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne. The purple, white and ivory are KnitPicks Shine Worsted (wisteria, white, ivory). The pink is KnitPicks Comfy Worsted (flamingo).
DeleteThey are all really sweet. I love the colors and the adorable sweaters!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are really sweet -- that bit has not been hard to deal with. At last I wasn't knitting with ugly green, orange or brown! The side button sweater is a really a sweet knit. I don't know that I'll ever get tired of knitting that pattern. It's on my Ravelry page. I just sent my young cousin that sweater, booties and hat in flamingo for her new baby girl (after two boys and multiple miscarriages). I think she was really tickled with hand knits!
DeleteThat is a lot of knitting! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteA lot, a lot, a lot of knitting. Thank you.
DeleteWow! Beautiful...your future grandbabies will be looking mighty fine: )
ReplyDeleteI'm not certain my daughter-in-law will be so big into hand knits and the grandma who ordered this layette, but I'll try!
DeleteThese are all so beautiful! We are all oohing and ahhhing here! Amazing amount of gorgeous knitting! Such pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kimberlee. The colors do look pretty together and the grandma had someone else make smocked gowns to match my yarn colors. Best dressed baby of the year, I imagine.
DeleteOh, my goodness!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! You are amazing. Really.
