Joining up with Ginny again after a lovely 'babymoon' break!
I must admit that lately, if given a choice between knitting or napping, I would go for the nap. But since no one seems to be giving me that choice, I have decided to tackle this little sweater for my sweet Lena. My first attempt at it was back in the summer, but I scrapped it because I realized that the markers I used were too thick and caused a bigger than necessary gap in between stitches.
We'll see how it goes this time. Right now I'm just a couple of rows past the cast-on.
And I just have to show you some finished products on this little girl! The pebble dress is a gift from my dear friend Ellen of Hurrayic. Lena wore it to her debut at church last Sunday and both she and the pebble were quite a hit!
I made the hat last Spring in anticipation of my girl's arrival. It seems long and high on her little head, but something about it is cute and quirky anyway.
Hoping this Fall is bringing lots of cozy knitting your way, too!
Gorgeous baby pics, loving the pebble but double loving the wide eyed beauty.

A belated congrats to you!! The hat is cute (even if it has that peak); it's unique and something that was made with love.

She looks so adorable with her eyes wide open. Such changes already. Knitting is fun, but try to fit in that nap.
