OK. I have five wips on the go, plenty for me. But the baby which we were expecting on 29th June finally arrived - on 6th July!
He's a boy, and he weighed a massive 9lbs 12oz at birth! I'm amazed that she managed this without any help or pain relief! I'm knitting him his 'newborn' cardigan, but in size 3-6 months of course.
It's the one I fall back on each time, Debbie Bliss, Striped baby cardigna, from (I think) her Baby Cashmerino 2 book.
This time, instead of pale blue and cream, it's denim blue and cream. Knitted the body in one piece up to the armholes but am knitting the sleeves separately and straight (just too tired to work out top down or find good needles for in the round, last night).
Cute! Must get a move on though, don't want him to grow too big for this!
oh you are my brave knit friend. THose matching stripes with the slant/v neck....you are very good my friend!
