Baby items knit-a-long?

[spacecase71]

I'm currently knitting the LB VelvetSpun Bunny Blanket Buddy and a couple pairs of baby Mary Janes.

How is this going? I love that pattern -- it is so cute!

Yes, me too!  I have a new cousin, born 11-08-06, and some girls at work are pregnant and/or have 1 or more toddlers.

So, I finished a pair of Bev's booties! 



.....aaaand, apparently I've exceeded a limit somewhere.  If you can't see them, you can see them here.

Oh yeah, how long do you think she'll be able to wear them?  They turned out about 4" long and 4" around the foot part.

So . . . . If they're walking but not really talking yet, that still counts as a baby, right? 'Cause I've got this sweater I started for DD when I was still pregnant with her, and she's pushing 19 months & I'm _still_ not done with it . . .


I've got the back & one side done - I think I'll be happy if she can still wear it when I get it done

I already have a scarf for my nephew (born in August). I somehow get the feeling he's going to get something else from Uncle Tim. Though after I finish my mom's Christmas present.

!! your mom's present is gorgeous!!!! I still haven't braved lace yet.. well I'm sorta attempting a very very easy lace pattern at the moment, but I'm itching to try it out on some really light and delicate yarn


.... and I'm such a slacker. I ended up not making anything for the girl with the baby shower but maybe if I get my butt in gear I can crank something out in time for xmas.. she says all she wants for xmas is more baby stuff

After seeing my 3 month old nephew in a little cotton sweater I was inspired to knit him a baby raglan! I added buttons at the neck to fit over his big 'ol head! I just love knitting for babies! Everyone's knits are so cute! I can't wait to see more!


no pattern, just a top down raglan, with button neck

Some friends of mine are having a baby boy sometime in the early spring, so I'm going to try and knit them a couple of boatneck sweaters from the Baby Knits for Beginners book by Debbie Bliss.  Maybe one he can wear as a newborn, and another for when he's 1-year old and it'll be winter again.

I won't have the proper needles until christmas unfortunately, but I'll join in then!

I've seen that pattern - it's great! I started trying to work one up for DD, but the yarn was too bulky, so I have to re-do the pattern a little for a larger gauge.

I've been working on baby items for months... was participating in this KAL and didn't even know it  . Our newest grandchild (#4) and first granddaughter was born 2 weeks ago today. I'm on my second ugg bootie with the matching cap to go, and then I * AM * TAKING * A * BREAK from knitting baby items!













Awwww, she's kinda cute, I guess it was worth it.
