Anyway, the gifts we did give cousin Phoebe were of the knitted variety. I was in a little bit of a knitting rut at the time, not feeling like working on any of my pending projects, but there's nothing like those fun and quick baby knits in great colors to kick start ones knitting mojo.
First up was Lilacs for Lila, the precious design by my dear blog friend Julie Crawford.
Daniel actually really wanted to keep the hat for himself. He doesn't look half bad in a bonnet!
This is a great pattern - a very enjoyable knit - and it's free (thank you, Julie!). I used Rowan Baby Merino DK, and I can't remember what sized needles, but everything loosened up during blocking so I wish I'd gone down one. But that's the great thing about babies -- they'll always grow into things!
Boxer shorts, dress shoes, pink beaded necklace. LOVE IT.
P.S. You still have until the end of today to enter the 7 Easy-to-Knit Handbags giveaway!
Your little guy is SO CUTE!!
Poor guy! Glad he's feeling better, and such a great model for knitwear! I love the little grown-up fancy shoes. I can see why he wanted to wear them!
I like his "concerned" face and the slight realization of what was going on creeping into his mind.
Poor Daniel! What lovely handknits.
Sorry that he was under the weather for the party.
