WIP Wednesday: It’s a Big One! (Well, so to speak…)
Well geez, posts have been thin on the ground around here, haven’t they?
But I have a very good reason, I promise. Ready?
I’m pregnant! My current WIP that’s taking up an awful lot of my time and attention is a baby boy or girl, due to be completed around the first week of July 2014. This is the first baby for me and my husband. We’re really excited (and I’ll be even more excited when the all-day “morning” sickness subsides, yuck).
You know what this means, right? Baby knits! (And possibly baby designs… but that’s a little further down the road.)
I whipped up these booties for our announcement post on Facebook:
They’re Saartje’s Booties (Ravelry link), which I’ve made for several other little ones… but it was a thrill to make them for my very own baby! I used some Madelinetosh Sport left over from my Put Together vest to make them nicely unisex.
We’re probably not going to find out the baby’s gender ahead of time, so I’ll be on the hunt for yarns and patterns that work for boys or girls. Any suggestions?
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! July is a good baby month (at least when it translates to mid-winter…)
Babies aren’t very fussy about what you make them wear, and people will guess wrong no matter what you do. Make whatever takes your fancy!
I hope you start feeling better soon.
Congratulations! I just knit a couple Aviatrix hats and a Trieste Cardigan for a baby of unknown gender. You can put a baby in anything, really. It’s all about color. :) Of course, who says girls can’t wear blue and boys can’t wear pink?
Oh YAY!!!! Congratulations!!
I didn’t find out what any of my babies were ahead of time either – it makes for a lovely surprise at the end :)
Ooh, the knitting! You are going to have a ball! I’m a huge fan of very old-fashioned 3ply yoked and raglan sleeve baby cardigans, big fat wool nappy covers and long booties.
If you are going to do real nappies I can thoroughly recommend Kelly Brooker’s Vanilla nappy cover pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vanilla-3
Big hugs and kisses XXX
Congratulations, that is very exciting news!! I hope you start to feel better soon!
Congratulations on the new baby, just catching up on some blog reading. Hope you feel better soon
