If you’ve been in the store lately you can’t miss Jen’s baby- or at least her baby bulge. She’s due in two weeks, and no she doesn’t know if it’s a boy or girl. She and her husband want to be surprised.
So what does a knitting mom knit for her baby?
Jen's Baby Knitting
There are two sweaters, one afghan, a hat with matching booties, another pair of booties, and a little teddy bear.
Then there are the things we all knit for her.
More Baby Knitting
The blanket in the back was knit by soon to be Grandma Nell, the high top sneaker booties by Inge, the moccasin booties by Phyllis and the orange giraffe by Diane. The giraffe was the hit of the baby shower.
And another blankie
Close Knit Blankie
This one was a cooperative effort by the yarn store staff- we all knit two squares, and Kim put them together and edged it.
Jen also knit a diaper bag
Diaper Bag
Complete with a bottle holder, she planned it out, knit it, felted it, and machine sewed straps on. Here’s the bag pre felting.
Unfelted Bag
Don’t forget our kids’ summer knitting camps for kids going into grades 5,6 or 7. Summer is a great time to learn to knit, or to practice what you already know. Links to the registration form are on the store’s main webpage.
