Wow...my younger brother and his wife had their baby Samuel yesterday! Yes...that would be Father's Day for those Vox friends celebrating along with the U.S. calendar.
So, I whipped up the finishing touches to my Baby Surprise Jacket (pattern by Elizabeth Zimmerman) and ran it up to them in the hospital today. My....what a beautiful child he is! No mottling of the skin, nor conical head. Just perfect!
Here are some photos of the precious family..Click on photos for larger pics.
And happy cousin Lizzie holding the jacket that I made for Samuel Joseph.
Here are the little newborn things I made for Project Angel Kisses this month. We delivered them to the hospital nursery today, but we no longer get to see the little babies through the nursery windows due to privacy issues. (Click on the photos for notes about the items and a better view.) Still, I know they will be put to good use.
Well...It's not Self-Portrait Thursday, but tomorrow is my birthday! I'm two days old in this photo with my doctor.
I was 4 lbs. 13 oz. and 19 inches long at birth.
(Thanks for having me, Mom!)
I was just about to destash this yarn when I found a group contributing handmade items to our local hospital nurseries. The hospitals require easy-to-launder yarn, so most charity work given is acrylic.
This is a newborn baby pattern, free from Bev’s Country Cottage, called the On The Road Again Hat. Here’s the link: www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevs-baby-set1.html
The pattern calls for a cast on of 70, however, I used dpns and had a double-wide rib at the end of the round when I do this. I would cast on 72 or 68 to make the ribs come out right IF YOU decide to use dpns or circular needle only! If you seam it like the instructions say (doh!) you will not have a problem! I obviously did not even read the instructions clearly enough. Now I’m only going to do the hat…as the mitts and booties are seamed as well, and I prefer to do them in the round.

These are really fun. This is the website for the free pattern: Saartje Knits I have one more to go for the pair.
I used my own handspun yarn for this...which makes me even more proud! Handknit on size 3 double points. They'll fit a 3-6 month old baby, probably...or a really chubby-footed newborn!
