Baby Projects

I am all ready for my cousin's baby shower on Boxing Day! That's quite a feat, as I only started working on her gifts last weekend and I also had to bake four kinds of cookies and make jello salad and roast turkey breasts for sandwiches and host my brother-in-law for the week. (Not that he's high-maintenance, but we've gone out to eat a lot, heh.)

I decided to make:
The Joni Jumper and
Snuggly Socks from Robyn's Baby Blueprint Crochet
Pixie Hat by SweaterBabe
Double Strap Baby Booties by Sylvia Schuchardt



The jumper turned out really well! I used Elsebeth Lavold's Hempathy in what I think is a discontinued color, so it has really nice drape. I used scraps for the bottom edging, and I did make a little motif as the pattern called for but I think it looks super cute without it too, so I left it off.



The socks took a second for me to figure out in the toe (my fingers kept getting in the way and I was distracted by movie-watching, hehe) but they're also adorable. They're in Serenity Sock in 108-10 (Amethyst - purple/grey). I might have to make another pair of these to throw in; they're so fast!



Hats look so boring when they're not on heads. Sorry about that. Yarn was from my stash.



And an old favorite! I made Sylvia's booties for Lydia back in the spring and I love the pattern. These are Heart and Sole, doubled so I could make gauge.

All right, bring on the baby! I'm ready!
