We are having the most gorgeously sunny day here in Sydney today. Retro daddy loves to go for long runs in weather like this so I thought to myself why should I be doing the housework on my own while he runs. So I took my knitting and the kids outside for some playtime…………..
Here is the little lace vest I’m making. I’m sure my little bub will look much happier than the model they have here. Anyway, I’ve ditched the February Baby Sweater as it was knitting up rather large and my pregnant brain couldn’t get with the lace pattern either. So with not long to go I’ve decided to make a few little pieces baby can wear as soon as she comes home.
And here is my progress….I started last night and it’s a lovely easy little lace pattern, nothing too fancy and the front and back are identical so I think I can have this finished in a week and ready to add to baby’s new wardrobe.
I’m picturing this over the top of a very little sweet floral dress………….
Gorgeous – can remember knitting a similar pattern for my now 18 year old baby girl!

How beautiful! Your weather looks much nicer than ours..
Oh I am so jealous of you knitting in the sun for your baby to be. That was my favourite part of being pregnant. I love the pattern. Just gorgeous.
That is just too cute! You’re certainly going to have the best dressed baby in Sydney!!
Oh adorable! You KNOW I love to knit. I’ve got the most divine collection of retro baby patterns… now I just need a baby. Er… grandchild. x
Oh it will be gorgeous Corrie. I keep seeing that pattern book at Spotlight thinking I should buy it for baby pressies but always end up putting it back. Glad to see your out enjoying the sunshine!
Oh how funny is the look on that baby’s face, yours is delightful work, love Posie
I’m glad you had the nice weather. We had lots of rain but hopefully today will be different
Your knitting looks lovely.
I love hand knitted things on a new baby.
What is the name of the book, I wouldnt mind adding it to my collection?
