  • Last Baby Set Finished!

    Baby Set - Jacket, bootees, mitts, and bonnettFinally managed to finish the last of the 6 baby sets for a customer. I actually finished them on Saturday, but it has been so dark here, today is the first day the sun has been out. So I managed to take the photo today.

    This set was very sewing intensive.

    All of the edges, including the front bands, cuffs etc, were knitted in stocking stitch and then sewn over. So there is no bands as such, but there was a great deal of sewing.

    I had a hard time finding buttons that looked ok on the jackets, but in the end I found some that were bought to put onto greeting cards. They were just the right size to fit through the button holes and hopefully they won’t fall out.

    I couldn’t have used buttons any smaller.

    I have done a white version of this set.

    I don’t know why, but when I am knitting an order for someone, I always seem to take longer than when I am just knitting for the fun of it.

    Just to prove my point, I have started and finished a childs aran jumper since Saturday and I am now knitting a jumper for my other halfs birthday on the 8th.

    I will post pictures of both later. :)

      I am looking for a baby bonnet pattern to crochet for either a boy or girl baby. I had one lost it. Was hoping you may be able to help me or tell me where to look for it on the net. Carol Wilber
