The adventures in babyland have officially begun. I found out about a month ago that one of my remote colleagues was pregnant but isn't due until December. She doesn't yet know the sex of the baby so I've been sort of waiting for that before I start some of the small stuff. The big stuff is being begun tonight as I've finally decided which of my vintage patterns to use.
That being said, after I found out about that baby, I've found out there are 2 other co-workers with babies or grandbabies coming or just here so this weekend, I've been working on those. Both include my
Vintage Rocks Baby pattern but now I've added a pair of booties to the outfit. I haven't got the booties added to the posted pattern yet but I'll be trying to get that done soon.
I just love this pattern. I also have an idea for soakers to go with it using the same feather and fan pattern. I have 2 more skeins of this yarn so I may try to work on that this week. These booties are based on a 1946 pattern but I adapted it to match the sweater and I think it makes such a sweet addition.
I won't be mosting most of the other stuff since I have a suspicion that Mom peeks at the blog from time to time but if I do the soakers (and maybe a little hat to round it off) I'll be sure to get a photo of them, too.
