I didn't start knitting until Jemima was already a toddler so I missed out on all the adorable baby knitting projects. Twice! I'm going to make up for it with friends though.
I've just finished this little parcel of handknit goodies for a friend's first baby who is due this summer.
I know. Traditionally, booties go with hats. Well, I tried booties and it didn't go so well. Me and booties don't get along. So other people (people with teeny tiny hands and really good eyesight!) can do the old ho-hum hats & booties thing. I'll do hats and washcloths.
I also prefer to use natural colors or rainbow yarns for handknit baby gifts. Babies grow out of things so fast and staying gender neutral means it can be handed down more easily.
I have to admit, I find baby knitting to be very satisfying. It's fast and fun.
Except for booties.
