I needed a quick-knit to go along with a sweet, navy blue, Ralph Lauren winter snowsuit that I was presenting as a baby shower gift. Since newborns photographed in stocking caps are all over Pinterest, I thought this pattern would be a great choice. It’s in the book Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. […]

Pinterest is bursting with photos of precious newborns, sleeping soundly, wrapped in soft, cuddly cocoons. Knitted or crocheted, these little sacques are an adorable way to keep baby warm and snuggled. This pattern is called “Angel Cocoon Set” in the book Annie’s Attic #871046, Cuddle Cocoons. However, you can find it at Ravelry under “Roses and […]

I found the pattern in Knitting Just for Baby (Precious baby set) and the yarn is called Baby Alpaca D.K. Paint from Plymouth yarn. Variegated yarns are […]

I knitted this pretty blanket for dear baby Annabel Maeve, the newest little member of our growing family! The pattern is called “Cascading Colors Baby Blankie“, and the instructions and materials list can be found on the Lion Brand website. It knits up very quickly because you hold two yarns together and use size 17 […]

Wonderful, really. Unless, like me, you like to knit baby sweaters in pink or blue…so, white it is. Debbie Bliss […]

Back in June, I blogged about my hairdresser’s pregnancy with her first baby. Quick recap: She and her husband chose to be surprised by the baby’s sex. She had a premonition that the baby was a girl. And a dream of her “passed-on” grandma told of a girl…..remember? I knitted a pretty pink blanket because […]

My sister-in-law, Linda, once told me that Christmas is like a part-time job. There is always so much to do, that I have to agree. Although a chorus of “Dominick the Donkey” can lift my mood and put me in the holiday spirit, I get totally stressed by thoughts of gift-giving, decorating, baking, handmade gifts, […]

My hairdresser of 10+ years is having her first child, and I am so very happy for her! In fact, hers will be the third baby born this year to stylists at the salon. The sex of the first two babies born was known to their parents, but my hairdresser decided to do it the […]
