Baby Shower!!!

I might have mentioned that my brother and his wife are expecting a baby!!!  Mom flew out on Friday to Montana for a week long visit. They planned a baby shower while she’s out there.  So NOW I can show you what I’ve been working on!!!  These are a pair of baby sneakers that I made last week!  I found the pattern here.  Yes, they are even more adorable in real life!

This, however is my pride and joy!  I started knitting this within a week of me discovering that she was pregnant.  It is my first big knitting project. [well other than a scarf for the boy that is a tad too trendy and I'll be shocked if he ever wears it]  I’m so excited about it.  Turns out it is probably a lot bigger than it needs to be for a baby, but hey- he’ll be able to use it for a longer time!!!  It is so soft.  I was so happy every time I picked it up to work on it!!! [Turns out it is also a good thing I finished it when I did, because knitting is not a warm weather activity!]

More pictures.  I’m just so excited about these!!!  Trust me, I’ll be making more of both!!!

And perhaps because I’m vain, I labeled both!  I can’t wait till the baby is here!  [because then I get to make all sorts of more stuff!]  Have a great week!
