Feeling Foxy

Have you heard that foxes are the new owls?  :)  I have been seeing a lot of fox motifs in kids' clothing and accessories lately, and I like it!  I just finished a fox hat for our baby and there are a few other patterns I favorited recently in Ravelry.

The Intrepid Fox (click on link for Ravelry pattern)--I love the color work in this one!

Knits for Baby Boy #2

We are expecting our second baby boy to arrive in just about 6 weeks!  Since our first child is also a boy, I have a lot of knitted items that our new babe can wear as well.

I wanted him to have a few new things of his own though.  The set I made for Drew to come home from the hospital in (Susan B. Anderson's "Pure and Sweet Layette") did not fit as well as I had hoped it would.  It was a little too big and wide.  Maybe I should go back and make some revisions on it so baby #2 can wear it...

Anyways, here is baby #2's new sweater and hat (Jacki Kelly's "Seamless Baby Kimono").

I don't know that is is newborn size (might be closer to 3 months) but since it is for a winter baby, that is fine!

I have also made a few hats.  The first one I improvised, but it has the toppers from Susan B. Anderson's "Marley Hat." The second one is Kristen Cooper's "Woodland Fox Baby."

I have about 6 weeks left to knit a few more things...I might focus on making a hat for Drew and Jim now though before I am busy with a newborn!
