Finally!

Now I have a reason to pull out every single baby knitting and sewing pattern. And it's not me who is having a baby. That I have to point out....

Christian's brother and his girlfriend is having a baby in October. So a new niece or nephew is on its way.

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I absolutely love to make tiny clothes for little chubby babies. And for a long time there hasn't really been that many babies to "dress".

The pattern for this sweet little owl from Fluff and Fuzz, by Amanda Berry is one I bought today. The finished owl has the perfect size - 7½ centimetres - to lie in a pram, and if I choose a less fluffy yarn, it will probably also fit fine in tiny baby hands.

I will not be making it right away - there lots of time for that....

I must admit that this little vest is already on my knitting needles, though. I bought the yarn about a month ago at Sommerfuglen, when I didn't know that the family was going to become bigger.

It's a pattern from Isager - and you can find it for free on their website. I chose to knit it in cotton - merceriseret bomuld in a neutral color.

I know for sure that you haven't heard the last of this making-baby-stuff-story....

Wiser after the event

We are moving all my sewing things into a new room....why on earth did I buy so much fabric, yarn, books and haberdashery??
I'm sure I will find a fairly reasonable answer to that question after everything has been moved into it's right place.

And I know that if I throw out (or give away) too much of my stuff - like my husband has suggested a numerous amount of times - I will need it sometime in the future!

However, I'm convinced that in time the new room will be a fine and cozy place for creating...

Enjoy the day.
