Another baby cardigan

I finished this on Thursday evening, and it has been given to the baby , a little girl, Amelia Jane, born on 15/6/10 at 8.08 weighing 7lb 1oz. The other pink jacket and the pinwheel one also went to her. The pattern is another UKHKA one. I really like their patterns and wish they did some adult ones.

Another baby jacket.

I've finished the baby jacket for a colleague's expected grand daughter. Am wondering whether to knit something in a neutral colour "just in case" they got it wrong, but then again, I do still have the pinwheel baby jacket. I have started another in pinks, might be a good idea to have a couple of spares stashed away, there seems to be a bit of a boom going at the moment.

The above Jacket and the one I have started are two more UKHKA patterns, their patterns look very good and so far have been very simple to follow, mind you this year I will have been knitting for 34 years properly, and am not afraid to tackle something new. Saying that the UKHKA patterns give very good results, have clear instructions, so even a beginner knitter can produce a very good looking garment. My only moan is they only seem to have baby/toddler patterns so far.

baby outfit

One of the female teachers that I work for had her baby prematurely, she is staying with baby in hospital, until he has gained his predicted birth weight....this is the colleague who is small build, and so is her husband.

anyway, she had baby early. I have just finished a jacket and hat set for baby.

To me the hat is much bigger than the jacket, but as my three were all a few days over,,,what would I know?

As you can see the pattern is a UKHKA pattern. I had never seen these before I bought this one. But I was so pleased how this turned out I looked on the website. They have quite a few baby/child patterns, and all very appealing.
