Ok, I admit it. I am cheating with this post. I am actually typing it up the day before my surgery and scheduling it for Wednesday. To make my cheating even worse, I'm posting a work that is all ready done. Yes, I know I am horrible this week!
K's surprise is still put aside while I am working on that other special project I mentioned last week. I do not have any photos of that as I am still in the designing process. I thought I had it planned but decided to change my yarn,needle size and the stitch.I should have it pretty set now. I have more to add to it though.
Pictured above is C Baby wearing the sleepy sack I knit for her for C's birthday ( hat by waldorfmama )Since birth, C has always worn a sleepy sack to bed. We have 2, one for warm weather and one for cold weather. They are both made by Disana ( I felted one to make it warmer ). I knew her doll made to represent her had to have one, too. I wanted C baby's sleepy sack to match the one C wears so after a few trial and errors I came up with a pattern that matches pretty well. Of course I see things I could have done differently now. What can I say...hindsight is 20/20! I am sure I'll be making more though with the new touch ups I am envisioning. K has all ready requested one for her K baby.
I am hoping C finds her dollie sleepy sack as special as I do. I think I will always remember her first year of life as 'the sleepy sack year'. I need to get pics of her in hers before she outgrows them! ( all I have are ones of her at about 2 weeks wearing her warm sleepy sack here )
ETA: I'm home!! All is well,except the couldn't do everything they needed to so I have to go back in on Friday for another operation. ughhh. At least it should all be taken care of then!

glad you're home and well. The sleepysack is gorgeous!
So glad the surgery went well, but what a pain to have to go back again. Love the dolly sleep sack and the baby one is amazing!! Such a clever idea and beautifully knit.
Glad you are well and home again!
Your knitting is so beautiful, I love the pinky peach colors together! My children also spent their early days in sleep sacks, a sweet memory for sure!
I'm glad you home and ok, but what a drag to have to go back! I hope this is but a memory by next Wednesday!
Pretty much all children sleep in "turbulettes" until around 1 yr here in France, but I didn't ever know how to translate that into English - sleepy sacs! I love it!
Thank you. :) i feel rested and *sigh* ready to do it all over again tomorrow. :p
gardenmama- yeah im a bit obsessed with that color combo. i keep on dying all my yarn that way. i need to expand a bit i think...
