I love knitting for new babies. These are all the things I’ve done since Christmas for a cousin’s grandchild due in the summer- a special baby which is quite a surprise first baby. I also sewed a nappy caddy and some burp cloths . They don’t know the sex of the baby, so I had to keep things neutral.
Don’t know what I’m going to do now- no more family babies in the offing.

What a beautiful collection @Sheilago.  I really like the sage green cardigan.  Just a bit different.

Yes, quite a few greens in there. Not necessarily coordinated  :laugh:

The sage green pattern is a really old pattern, my mother used it when I was a baby.

You have been busy Sheilago, a lovely collection for a new mum and new baby.  I remember those lovely hooded tops when my two were small, so very useful especially when they did not need a coat as such on, but something to keep out the chill especially on nice spring days.

Thanks all. The new mum lives in Ireland, so I intend to take them over when we go there later this Spring. I wouldn’t want to trust all that work to the postal services. I took the photo to send to the baby’s grandmother and just thought I’d share it.
