I have made a few baby clothes – to
go with the miniature throw that I wrote about last month. I have made a multi-coloured jacket which is
supposed to fit a baby of about 3 months.
When I knit something like this –
I think of the Agatha Christie comment: “two sleeves, both the same, very
boring” – because of course – these 2 sleeves were different – so not so
boring!
I have also made a little red set
of a jacket, a hat and some mittens.
This set is much smaller and is
intended for a more recently born baby.
The hat may be useful for a bit longer than a couple of weeks – but I
expect the baby will quickly grow out of the jacket. The
jacket is a pattern from Knit Now magazine and the hat and mittens are from a
Stylecraft pattern. They are all double
knitting acrylic – so they will be easy to wash.
I have now started thinking about
knitting Christmas presents – although this morning I have gone back to the
large modular knitted throw and told myself – I should finish it before I start
anything else. I have cast on another
square – so hopefully I will get it finished in the next few weeks.
