Baby Clothes
August 21st, 2009
So a little bit about the purple cardigan I hinted at in my last post. Katie’s getting more and more independent to where she’s content to sit near me and not be held, so I’ve got a bit more knitting done lately. Still not as much as I’d like, but I take what I can get.
I said many times that I wouldn’t knit any baby clothes because of how fast they grow out of them. I was relaxing with Katie one day, and had a strong inclination to knit her a little baby sweater. I got to thinking even more and was reminded of the one-size-fits-all diaper cover that we have for her. It cleverly uses snaps to make the diaper smaller for little babies, and you can scale it bigger as they grow. Why couldn’t I do that with a baby sweater?
This is my attempt at designing a cardigan that will grow with her. I’ve been thinking over and working on this for a couple of weeks now, but I’m really hoping I can finish it before she gets too much bigger. I started with the smallest size at where she was two weeks ago, so she’d already stretch it out a bit today if it was done. The goal is to create two sizes, one for newborn and one into toddler ages. Let’s hope I can finish the smaller size so she can wear it before she’s too big!
