Small knits for a small person

*~ OUR SMALL PERSON ~*

We are thrilled to bits with the news that we will be welcoming baby number 3 later this year. As soon as my stomach started churning and I gained my superpower sense of smell I decided to cast on these yummys knit in BFL in a colourway that I am calling Very Hungry Caterpillar. Though it looks more blue than green in my photo.

So we have some newborn sized longies in the Baa Bum pattern that my gorgeous friend and owner of the Small Things blog created. My go to infant hat, Umbilical Cord from Stitch n Bitch and a teeny tiny pair of Simply Sweet Socks.

Complete: baby blanket

The lovely baby blanket I was working on a few weeks ago has finally been gifted along with an umbilical cord hat I whipped up with the extra wool. Both patterns are from Stitch n Bitch Handbook, though did them from memory as I left my copy in Dubai.

My gorgeous friend Renee who will be a Mum for the first time in a few weeks also liked the title of the book I popped in with her gift. Now it would be lovely if her little cherub could be extra considerate and come at 39 weeks so I can meet him or her before returning home. 

Edited on 19/09 to let you know that around the time I posted this, little Isla made her way into the world five weeks early. Reports so far are that Mum and bub are fine. How sweet is the name Isla? I am looking forward to meeting her and giving my friend a hug, minding swollen breasts of course :)

This Is... a work in progress

Excellent timing for this week's theme from Debbie Hill [kept in a jar] as I have been working on a baby blanket for my friend who is having a little one in October. I don't think she reads this blog, but just in case I have kept the photos fairly vague. Once it has been gifted I will tell you more about it.

You can see what everyone else is up to at Three Buttons.

Something for Jed

I had some down time between longie knitting today so could not wait to pick up the magnificent BFL again to knit for Jed, making this cute Umbilical Cord Hat to match his longies. The pattern is from the Stitch N Bitch Handbook.

This is the second one I have made, the other one for a little friend who will be joining us earthside later this year.
