Please, let this be a lesson to everyone! Do not ask me to be a test knitter for you and if I say yes, give me a strict deadline and don’t be too nice to me! Because life gets in the way with a new baby and it will take me over a month to knit up a simple baby vest. Yumiko, you were so nice and patient and I loved knitting this up for you!
I feel terrible and lesson learnt! But how cute is this pattern? Super quick and easy to knit even if you’re nursing a newborn yourself and tending to another 3 children. I used a 5 ply from the back room (also known as knitters heaven) at Bendigo and I wasn’t sure on the grey at first but I love it now.
You’ll be able to find the baby pattern soon on yumiko’s website and in the meantime can buy her children’s version…………….
yes, I could eat her up!
And I haven’t blocked this or anything, I basically just put down my darning needle, grabbed my camera and started snapping pictures. But gosh it reminded me why I love my crafts, the pure satisfaction and warm fuzzies that come from making something yourself. It’s my drug……………just like spending money on my craft.
LOVE your colour choice! I love adult colours on little girl-babies… I chose the same colour for my little girl for her Christmas dress… Fantastic job… now I just wish I had the patience to knit something other than a scarf 😀
beautiful! GREAT colour.
That’s gorgeous! I wish I could knit that well! My limits are in basic squares at present, but maybe one day!!!
Looks great.. when I saw the yarn, I was thinking Oatmeal by Bendigo Woollen Mills. I have some in my stash …
It’s beautiful. She’s beautiful.
It looks good to me, way beyond my capabilities! Your model is super cute too.
It looks gorgeous and your little model is very cute too =-)
Gorgeous little dress – you should be proud. And what a smiley little model 🙂 Sweet.
Love Elodie’s chins!!
Oh, isn’t that adorable! Elodie looks like she knows it was made just for her!
Aren’t you clever?
I have been knitting the same scarf for more than 6 years now, so you are a complete legend in my eyes!
Oh definately worth the wait Corrie! Elodie looks so happy to model for you too, and gray seems like a perfect color for little girls!
It looks great Corrie and LOVE it in the grey on miss E.
Craft is my drug too 🙂
That’s lovely!! I’m finding it so hard to get any knitting done with my 4 month old … I might give this pretty vest a try! Your girl is such a cutie!!
Yeah yeah the dress is vute- but what about that bay! Those chins….I would be kissing her all day!
it looks great!
love your wee one – what a cutie – and a great knit too – best le
