Twin Knits

Finally finished the sweaters for the twins... One came home yesterday, but his brother will probably be in the hospital for another week. All are doing well though! Unfortunately these will have to be mailed instead of delivered in person since I didn't get to FL this weekend... but hopefully I'll get to see the boys by the time they're able to wear these. And with all the AC there - I think sweaters will still get some good use. Particularly those with a little cashmere, right?!



And since the new daddy is a golf pro, I also made a few burp cloths. Triple-layered flannel with an extra top-stitch to keep them neat.

Happy Knitting!

And Bailey says "Momma, when can we go play fetch?"

Baby season has begun...

Well... the twins arrived early. I was going to give this sweet raglan sweater (and make second one!) to them, but decided that all white was too, well..., sweet. So this is going to baby girl E and I'm going to make the boys the same sweater but make the sleeves a handsome slate blue... (Cashmerino Aran).

It's the raglan sweater from Debbie Bliss' The Baby Knits Book... a relatively easy pattern, but I altered it to knit it in the round and on the pair for the boys, I'll make the body a little bit longer. The straight stockinette creates a nice rolled edge, but the body of the sweater needs to be a bit longer for better proportions.

For explanation of converting to knit in the round, my notes are on my Ravelry project page.

And now 2 women in my bible study are expecting... good think I like baby sweaters!

Happy Knitting!
