Instead of making booties, I think I will make thumbless mittens on an I-cord string, which can be threaded through the sleeves. I have the perfect gauge swatch in the sweater, but I have till January to finish the whole project. Here is the Mom-to-be and the Grandma-to-be!
I attended the baby shower on Saturday for Erin and I have never seen so many cute outfits for boys. I hope that this gift doesn't get buried in the stash and forgotton, only to be found after he outgrows it!
This is the cutest centerpiece idea. It looked like a wedding cake, but was made of 3 hat boxes, Pampers around the outside, secured by ribbon. There was the cutest monkey on top and knitted (made in China, of course) finger puppets tucked in all around.

Nicely done! And nice spinning to. That's alot of roving, 14 oz, but it is working up beautifully.
I'm sure that there's nothing to worry about... Were the other gifts lovingly handcrafted? I'm sure your beautiful set (the BSJ is genius) will be cherished!
There is nothing like a BSJ. It is one of my favorite baby sweaters. The yarn is beautiful and I love the little cap. I have never seem such a cute centerpiece!
Really nice work on that sweater. I'm sure it will be well used.
Love the jacket!
That centerpiece is just darling... though I'm sure it would be better with handmade finger puppets! :)
Lovely BSJ! I'll have to try making one... one of these days. Yours turned out beautifully! Good luck locating buttons!
