My neighbors, Steve and Sarah, happen to be impossibly good looking. They look like they stepped out of the pages of a J. Crew catalogue. LB and I had a serious discussion when they moved in, worrying that their combined beauty would drive up our property taxes. Really, we did.
And now they're having a baby, who will surely be the most beautiful baby on the planet.
Their home, a twin to ours, is also beautiful decorated. Not my cluttered style, but spare like Pottery Barn. Not super modern but definitely nothing old.
What to knit for such a baby?
I had initially picked out this pattern using Reynold's Blossom, which I know in my heart they would use a lot more than what a finally picked.

Still, I loved the Edwardian Carrying Cape by Oat Couture.
Ann talked me into knitting what I love. What the hell. I can be the crazy neighbor knitting lady who knits impractical things for random babies if I want to.
Apparently, I can also be the crazy neighbor knitting lady who knits impractical things for random babies and then poses them on her dog to boot.
It's really pretty. It's hard to believe that it's hand knit!
ReplyDeleteDon't know what the expression on Steu's face is but I'm guessing "only because I love you" Do you know the gender of the baby?
ReplyDeleteThey won't know the gender for a few more weeks. I have a feeling it's a boy.
ReplyDeleteYou're slightly less crazy than I am, since I pose them on my dog AND my cat.
ReplyDeleteI've just bought this pattern to make for my daughter - first big knitting project so wish me luck!
