I like finishing things.

A hat!
OK, so it's not going to fit for long, but honestly I'm done with this one. My first attempt was waaaay too small, my second I messed up on the decreases, and finally this is complete (with mistakes), but I'm sooo ready to start something else that I'm going to live with the imperfections, even though I know they will drive me bonkers!
Made using this pattern.
I also finished some dribble bibs. I've always scoffed at this style of bib,but I've never had such a drooly baby before, and apparently this style works well.

Your children are so lucky to have such amazing wardrobes courtesy of talented you! And that Jay is the cutest thing! Makes me want to try making one....
ReplyDeletethat bonnnet is so sweet, I wonder if knitting the 1 year old size in dk would fit a 2 year old?
ReplyDeleteI used dk and knit the 1 year size, and as you can see it just fits Ernest at 6 mths.I don't think he has a particulary big head.
ReplyDeleteHang on though, did I use 4ply? Yep, just checked I did!
ReplyDeleteAwww he is looking so big!
ReplyDeleteWe loved those dribble bibs while Willow was going through her drooly stage.

Getting so big, he is! love the hat, and if only you knew how much I messed up on my last hat for Nils... Love E's cardie too, and the blanket behind him, that's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVanessa made the blanket, I love it!
ReplyDeletesuch cuteness shouldn't be legal lol xx
ReplyDeleteAwww, Ernest looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAwww love the wee bonnet - v cute. I really like thosebibs, I made tons for Archie, he is 2 now and has progressed to 1/2 a nandana. What did you back the bib with? I finished making flossies pinafore for my daughter sadie last night, thank you it is adorable x
ReplyDeleteCute hat :) You could add antennae and make a great costume ;)
ReplyDeleteClare, I'm so glad you like the pinafore, I'd love to see a pic.
ReplyDeletePhyllis, you are so funny, but yeah it would make a great costume!
Blush - I am glad you like it Jeanette - you make such lovely things I am glad you get to use it !
ReplyDeleteLove the wraps in the last post and the cardigan in this post - what is the pattern (If you made it ?)
HUGS - Vanessa
lovely dribble bibs, i just fold in half (into a triangle) my muslins....I sewed ric rac round the edge when she was small to look lovely was sooooo easy and still looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely! I make bandana bibs and think they are great for drooly babies. I think a lot of people don't get them till they have a drooly baby. They are thin and so dry easily when washed and look cool. Well.. apart from people that manufacture them thick to soak up more.
ReplyDeleteI need to master buttonholes, then I will post pic.....I love it - I'd it in some navy japanese fabric that has wee owls on. imagining all the variations I can do for future. Thanks
ReplyDeleteoch!! cuteness overload!! what a beautiful little love you have there, Jeanette xxx :-)
ReplyDeletehe is just beautiful! And so is the hat - very pixie looking.
ReplyDeleteVanessa, the cardigan is actually a sleepsuit that was bought for Ernest by a friend, I love it too.
ReplyDeleteGrace, love the idea of folded muslins with ric rac, I have a ton of muslins here, might nicj that idea if you don't mind?
Clare, you could always use snaps if buttonholes are too much.
Ooooooo-ooooooh! So unbelievably gorgeous and cute!
ReplyDeleteoh he is so beautiful, wish he and Vivi could play...
