As previously mentioned
here, my sister is pregnant, and her due date is in less than a week. They know they're having a boy, but since they're not telling anyone his name until he's here, he has affectionately (and possibly irrevocably) become known as "Minnow".
Most knitters like to knit a little something for a new baby in the family, I may have possibly gone a little overboard in that department.
First, the knitted items I've already given them when I was out there in May...
 |
| A puppy woobie |
 |
| Bib with adorable frog button (sorry for the upside down pic) |
 |
| Burp cloth |
 |
| Washcloth |
But that's not all. I have a stack of other knits I've since finished that I plan on sending just as soon as he's born. None of these are intended to be a surprise, but Julie if you're reading, don't go any further if you want them to be!

| Lightweight Stroller Blanket |
 |
| More Washcloths |
 |
| Baby Sleep Sack with Hat |
 |
| Baby sized "Old Man" sweater |
It's sort of odd in a way. I knit a couple of blankets for my granddaughter, and I knit a christening blanket for my youngest niece (I wasn't really a knitter when the two older nieces were born), but for some reason the urge to do baby knits really came over me this time, and this was the result. I'm sure it will taper off & I will go back to selfish knitting soon, but in the meantime it was fun to do some quick smaller projects that didn't take as long.
