Knitting Again

I knew my urge for knitting was starting to come back and last night I had the opportunity to start (and finish!) this little project:

The pattern is Milo Soakers from Vintage Baby Knits by Kristen Rengren



I had to size the pattern down quite a bit in order to fit Elise's little newborn bum- but the end result?


Perfectly Precious!

    She's so beautiful. Look at that hair. That soaker looks nice and cozy for her little bum too.

    OMG! What a cutie. Makes me wish (for a moment) that I had one--even though my "baby" is soon to be 35 (on 30 Dec) and she has a 6 year old herself. Babies are so precious and fun to knit for since everything is small and doesn't take a long time to knit. I really enjoyed knitting for mine and my grandchildren. Take care and take time to enjoy her--they grow up so fast. She really is precious and we love seeing pictures.

    Is there anymore information you can give on this subject. It answers a lot of my questions but there is still more info I need. I will drop you an email if I can find it. Never mind I will just use the contact form. Hopefully you can help me further.

    That is the most adorable thing ever! Congratulations on your little Elise! Babies are the best creative projects ever! I have that book and haven't knit any of the projects yet and now I'm feeling completely compulsive about it! Thanks.

    This post inspired me to knit some of my own (well, not MY own, but for my baby). I just posted about it with a link to you here: http://www.aestheticnest.com/2011/02/knitting-soakers-and-scarflette-for.html
