Still Knitting....

I still can't believe that I've now finished 2 knitted projects bigger than a scarf or beanie.....
This little 5 hour baby sweater (even though it took me much, much longer than that!!!) is so super cute I can't wait to knit up another one.... I knitted up the 8-10pound baby size (it's about the same as 3-6 month, my baby was 8 pound and there is no way that this would of fit her at birth). I finished it off with a little red velvet ribbon, next time I'm thinking a couple of buttons at the top would be pretty cute too...
I've now started on another cardie and can't wait to get it finished... If only the knitting bug had struck back at the start of Winter, not at the end... LOL!!! Oh well, just think of all of the cute Summer things I can start knitting soon.... Take Care :)

I think it is adorable and the red looks beautiful. At least in the summer and spring there are some cool nights so the baby will still be able to wear it.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Your knitting is great too for a beginner. I wouldn't even contemplate it!! Well done. I think you had better knit a bigger one for your baby if your first was 8 pounds!!! Ouch!!

Wow-these are so incredible! I'm in awe of the way you are able to just whip them out and adapt them as well. You're definitely one talented knitter! How exciting too with the new baby on the way...
