Kate made figlet a couple of things, one of which I have a picture of now. It's the sweetest, tiniest little newborn vest I've ever seen, and it's even knit with my favorite yarn, Rowan's Felted Tweed. I love, love, love it!
She also made him a ball that looks like an orange, I'll include a picture of that in the next round of knitted photos, probably later today.Sue made figlet an outfit, with adjustable cardigan, booties, and bunny hat, which everyone just squealed over.
Here's a detail of the bunny's face.
I can't wait to see him in these precious items!I have been good about restricting my knitting to evenings only, once I'm done writing and such. A few weeks ago, the hospital let go one of the two midwives, due to budget reasons. Even though she was not my primary caregiver, I saw them both equally and depending who was on call, she could have been there for figlet's birth. I was very upset about this decision, and wanted to make her a gift to say thank you for all her care throughout my pregnancy. I had hoped to get it done to give her at my last appointment with her, but classes were still in, so it just couldn't happen. I have it blocking on the porch right now. It's a lace cowl that is a bit out of season at this point, but will be nice for fall, I hope.
I also finally finished the embroidery for figlet's stroller blanket.
I have been slowly chipping away at the lace scarf using the yarn I bought in New Orleans. I'm not in a rush to finish it, so it only gets worked on occasionally. But I am on the second ball, so I know I'm half-way through.
I actually have a couple of other things, too, but forgot to get a picture of them. Hopefully I can do that today and get those up later.
