WIP: Sweater for a special baby

My cousin and his wife are expecting their first baby in a few months. I am putting together a little layette using Patons Grace in cotton for the warm southern autumn. I am repeating the garter stitich kimono sweater and the two needle booties in the Spearmint Ombre and the matching soft green. I have a few other pieces planned for the layette that I will post as I begin working on them.

Finished Project: Patchwork Baby Blanket and Matching Caps

This little patchwork baby blanket was knit in rows to make it modular and easy to carry along. I used the Vannna's Choice acrylic yarns to make it washable and in colors to match the nursery. I joined the rows with a single row of a contrasting color to add a little funky texture and finished it off with a crochet edge for polish. The little caps were competed as a request of the new mom so the little one would would look really sweet for outings.

Finished Project: Blue Striped Baby Booties

These little gems were a breeze to knit up using a pattern for Two Needle Baby Booties by Carole Barenys that can be found at knittingonthenet.com. They were fast and easy and would be a great pattern for someone jumping off the cliff to try reading a pattern or doing a first pair of socks. I apologize for the quality of the picture. I had gifted them to the intended new mom before I realized none of my pictures turned out.
