I’ve never knit anything for newborns, but with four wee ones expected to make an appearance between November and next February I figured that I should start knitting.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

I found the Puerperium Cardigan<\/a> pattern on ravelry and immediately fell in love with it. I am a fan of assymetrical cardigans and think that getting babies into pullovers is a huge hassle so buttons are so important. The mom doesn’t know if she is having a little girl or boy so I went with gray which is neutral. I thought of adding different colored buttons but couldn’t find any that I liked so these wooden buttons were it. I think they add an interesting and different texture to it. And boy oh boy did that thing fly off the needles.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, with so much yarn left I knit a matching hat. It is another Simple Beanie aka Lollipop<\/a>, it is a wonderfully mindless knit which I have already tried twice<\/a> before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a little yarn left so I just might consider making some matching baby booties, the only problem is that I hated the yarn, it wasn’t bad or anything but the color bore me out of my mind.<\/p>\n

But overall it was satisfying knitting, knowing that a little baby will be wearing something that was handmade with love, is very satisfying. \u00a0When my daughter was born my grandmother knit her a beautiful wrap around sweater so did my mother’s uncle’s wife ( we are a complicated family). \u00a0It is the same sweater they have been knitting for years for ever expectant mother and boy oh boy did I love those sweater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
