So now Aunty Loulee gets to knit in PINK.
After she finishes the current project that is. This little cardigan with a moss stitch panel won't take long.
Of course there are several other neutral coloured garments already waiting to go to their new owner.
As well as a quilt and a blanket. I did make another blanket, but it has a lot of blue in it, I'm undecided about giving that one to a girl.
I found this beautiful yellow fleece blanket a couple of weeks ago and added it to the pile.
It was just too soft a pretty to leave behind.And as Freya's parents keep sheep, a pair of sheep shoes had to be found. My hunney found these on EBay. :-)
I did consider knitting my own, but these were just too cute.*
I had a day out with Mum yesterday, we went hunting for pink wool. What else? As you see I found only one which met my specifications, all the other pink yarns I found had very high manmade fibre content. I think I'll be shopping online for something else girly.
I start work at 3 today, so after a whizz around with the vacuum I'll be putting on one of my wildlife DVDs and knitting the day away.

Did you go here yet? To help me find a name for my latest quilt.

My mum refused to dress me in pink when I was a baby, a blue blanket would have been met with approval, lol
My girls didn't wear much pink when they were little, it being my least favorite color. And blue is just a color, so don't worry about giving that one too. A very lucky baby girl indeed with all that handmade goodness you're piling together!
Oh how fun to be able to knit with pink. When my daughter was born I was so excited to sew pink dresses with frills and ribbons and go gaga for the pretty girly stuff :) Your sweaters look fantastic! I can't wait to try knitting a sweater. It's on my list of must do's this year :) I'm so happy you enjoyed my photos of our nature excursion :) Hugs.
What a lovely pile of loveliness! They are so cute. The recipient is going to be so pleased.
Those knitting needles must have smoke coming off them!
A lovely lovely selection of goodies for a new baby! Yes, why can't girls have blue? When I have a baby I'd dress it in whatever, regardless of the sex.
