Baby Knits
The swatching is about to begin! I have been admiring this pattern for the longest time, wishing I had grandbabies young enough to make it for them, and then out of the blue, I’ve been given word that yes, we do indeed have another one on the way (June 2007)! Even though I still don’t know “what flavor” we’re expecting, this outfit is unisex enough that I can get started on it now, and hopefully have it done by the time it’s cool enough weather for sweaters. Which means I’ll make a 6-9 months size. So, I’ve got maybe a year to get this accomplished! I’m going to start on it now though…there will be skills to learn here, and I don’t want to get overwhelmed and not finish it. I’ll make the hat as a ” gauge swatch” (as EZ recommends) and then get started on the sweater. The book that the pattern is in, is full of things I want to make, and Baby Ull is sooooooo soft. Dale of Norway….oh my!…there are such beautiful creations there! I’m hoping to some day be good enough at stranded knitting to make myself a sweater, however, even I know that’s not going to be for a while. For now, I think I’ll start small and just keep dreaming big.
