This won't be unfamiliar to anyone whose been reading my blog for a few months as it's the same pattern as I've already worked in white and pale green for another baby. I decided to work this one again as it was relatively quick and easy and, as I want to be able to hand it over when I have the next lot of treatment, speed was of the essence. What you see in the photo here was all done between Wednesday mid-afternoon and Sunday evening, although I don't think I got much done on Saturday. I did loads yesterday afternoon and evening - from finishing the first sleeve, through the whole of the second to almost completing the first of the fronts!
I plan to look for white flower buttons in town later on and to do some embroidery on it similar to the first, white set that I did a few months ago. This time I've plumped for the 3-6 month size as the other baby was so big at birth that the 0-3 month was already too small for her! She's now about 4-5 months and is well into 6-12 month clothes in width, if not in length. I've never seen such a fat baby!

Love the colour. I tried to get back to knitting - but didn't get beyond the first row. :-( Need more hours in a day!

I am sure your dentist, and her daughter, will be delighted with this cardi. It's a beautiful colour.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet and pretty. She'll be delighted.
ReplyDeleteYou're really getting the hang of this pattern, aren't you!
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends recently had a very large baby - she looked like a toddler from the start! It did make me realise what a "risk" it is to make something (other than a blanket or similar) for a baby who hasn't been born yet!
ReplyDeleteI had the fattest baby who ever lived - he was normal on length but off the charts on height! And now he's a skinny guy who weighs less than I do.
ReplyDeleteLovely knitting, someday I'll get back to it.
