Most recent knitting projects
July 1st, 2008 Posted in Knitting
I had a baby shower over the weekend, so I knitted up these two little projects to go with some onsies and the Eric Carle’s “The Hungry Caterpillar.” I knitted them both with size 3 needles and used Lion Brands’ organic cotton. The tulip hat is from Knitting at Knoon (Li’l Sunhats Pattern) and the pacifier clip is from Susan B. Anderson’s “Itty-Bitty Nursery,” which is one of my favorite knitting for baby books. I have also made the pacifier clip that is the little elephant and it was rather cute too, but I forgot to get a picture (you can see a similar one HERE). My other favorite baby knitting book is “Natural Knits for Babies and Moms.” There are just gorgeous and simple, timeless projects in there.
(Edited: I just went to Susan Anderson’s site and you can download the free flower pacifier clip HERE.)
Anyway, my projects got many oohs and ahhs and Ali couldn’t believe I made them. She said she totally would have bought them from a store if she saw them. I think they turned out pretty cute.
I think I’ve got this knitting thing down and I am always so excited to try new projects. Right now I am knitting a baby blanket for someone that is taking FOREVER. As soon as I finish, I will post a picture.

These are adorable! They make the perfect baby shower gift and remind me of a little hat I had for Charlie that had a green stem and a pea pod on the top.
Good luck with all the house stuff!
