More knitting!
Early this year there seemed to be a baby boom around me, coworkers, friends, friends of friends... So I turned to my knitting needles made up a couple of sets of booties/mitts/hat. They were super fast since they were small - and amused me to no end as U endlessly said "those are tiny! Are you sure you shouldn't make a bigger one? Is the baby actually THAT small?"
Grin!
The blue set went to a coworker who's wife gave birth to a little boy, and who was going to be receiving a whole batch of hand-me-downs from a relative with a baby girl. My coworker joked about his son being dressed endlessly in pink, and I decided I to do what I could to offset that...
And the green set went to the friend of a friend, a fellow blogger who had her second child earlier this year and who, while I've never met, is somebody I've followed virtually for a while now and who I wanted to reach out to.
Sets like these may not be used by a parent nearly as much nor as long as a blanket, but they are fun to knit and oh so adorable...! I may just have to pull out the yarn and make another one just in case another friend announces she is pregnant...
I'm not and won't ever be pregnant, but if I buy a teddy bear, would you ...

Very, very cute.
Sure, if you want teddy bear clothes, I can do teddy bear clothes, but I also have a pattern for elephant dishcloths... Or a scarf to warm a southern neck not used to chilly northern winters!
ReplyDeleteThus it came to pass that a green&grey scarf was born in a small restaurant in Ebisu ...
DeleteOh, but now I've found out a friend of a friend has opened a yarn shop in western Tokyo and indeed an excuse to go check it out... ;P
DeletePattern? Beautiful set!
ReplyDeleteBoth projects are in my Ravelry list, so you could jump from there, or
Deletehere's the link to the pattern. The only change I made was to swap the white and colour, as I liked having the colour be the main (and I had less white yarn!).
Do you have more friends needing baby knitting? Good luck!
