I dressed Drew in his homecoming outfit on the day we were discharged from the hospital, but it was too big on him! That really surprised me, because he was so big and the pattern indicated that the set would fit a newborn! Maybe it will fit him in September when the nights start to get cool again. I do love how soft the yarn is and how sweet it looks.

He's here!
Baby Andrew James arrived on June 3rd, 2010 at 10:45am. He weighed 9 lbs 11 oz and was 22.5 in. long--a big boy! I was so proud to have him wear my knitted hats during our time in the hospital instead of the issued hospital hat. He looked so cute and everyone who came to visit loved his hats! Below are a few photos of Drew in his knitted hats.

A different type of "Bebe"

When Becky saw the sachet I made for our baby, she said it reminded her of what her nephews call her: "Auntie BeBe" (pronounced "beebee"). So, I couldn't resist making Becky her own "BeBe" sachet! It's such a nice, relaxing project to make. The two garter stitch rectangles knit up quickly, and the embroidery is relaxing and satisfying! I embroidered a little flower on the front this time. It took several tries to get it right, but I like the final result! I filled it with sweet smelling lavender and added a silky ribbon.

Frenchie
I wanted a new project to work on this weekend, so I decided to tackle the "Frenchie" hat from "Itty Bitty Nursery." It's a lot like the Marley hat because of how the pattern calls for changing up the stitches and colors every few rows. I had fun making it for that reason! I finished the hat in about a day and a half--it felt like it knit up really quickly because I was changing what I was doing frequently.
I'm not sure what age this hat will fit--maybe 1-2 years old? At any rate, our baby already has quite a selection of hats and he's not even here yet!

50 Projects Strong
I just listed my 50th project on http://www.ravelry.com/!! That's 50 knitted projects since March 2009! (And that's not even counting projects that have a few components, like the "Baby's Homecoming Outfit.") LOVE to knit!
