The sun has gone back into hiding making it utterly impossible to take a photograph. After about 10 tries with multiple different locations and camera settings I decided to call it quits and just embrace the blur. So theres that.

Baby season is upon us, or so it seems. I have quite a few friends and acquaintences having babies over the summer and some of the girls' classmates are becoming big brothers and sisters. Such a special time. Right now I spending more time planning on what I will make for those new precious arrivals than anything else. However I did knit up a hat for one of the babies that just arrived, I am hoping to get it to her this week. The pattern is very sweet and if I have another girl in the future I will knit it up again in a heartbeat! (Rav notes here)

I just found Cutest Ever Baby Knits: Over 20 Adorable Projects to Knitat my local library and I already have many pages bookmarked. Those sweet strawberry booties on the cover are soon to be on my needles. I love newborn knitting, it's so fast, so dainty and so darn cute. I grabbed The Opinionated Knitterwhile I was there too, with dreams of knittng a baby surprise jacket for Baby L. Probably just a dream, though.

I will get on the KCCO button contest soon. I am excited about it!

Don't forget to enter to win a weather set from Armadillo Dreams while you still can!

You always knit beautiful items Nicole! and I love those strawberry booties too :)
What a sweet hat, and the colour is lovely and warm :-) I love sharing here and getting inspired!
That color and stitch definition in that hat are beautiful. I just wanted to cheer you on in your BSJ dreams. It's really not that hard, just trust the directions. It's easy to pick up and set down which is convenient (necessary?) around children, so it flows off the needles in a short time. And it's great to use up scraps of the same weight. And, and...

Thank you.I think I need just forget my fears and dive in.. it's the starting part that is the hardest. :)
That hat is so pretty! Loving the color and the sweet pattern! :) I think for one of my goals in the next few years I will have to learn to knit....too many adorable pieces out there not to! lol
I know what you mean about blurry pictures with the rainy days! Our camera only takes good pictures outdoors. It's pouring here. I have so many things I need to take pictures of, to post on our Etsy Shop, but I'm waiting for the downpour to let up. :)

That hat is so cute. And I can't wait to see the strawberry booties. :)

I think that maybe the only down fall of living in OR :) Hee,hee.
Very cute hat! I also love baby knitting!
Oh that hat is so cute! I love the color.
I love baby knits. I just finished a few for a new niece in our family. I have yet to try a bsj, but it is on my knitting bucket list.
Joining you for the first time. Although I've been enjoying your crafting for a while now. Love that hat!
I love that little hat, it's so cute, and the color is great. And that book with those strawberry booties are just awesome. Btw, I know I mentioned to you that you should get yourself a craft-along button - how about that simplify image from your about page with KCCO in one corner?
ooo, those strawberry booties look so cute!!
Lovely knits. . . I need to make time for that again.

Thanks for letting us share our creations. . . albeit a day late because of the secrecy of birthday surprises :-)
Great idea on the KCCO! I'm in the middle of a bunch of different projects, some for fun, some for commission, but I'm having a hard time keeping up with my blog because of it! This will surely keep me on the path...thank you!
My lovely Nicole, I have been reading just in such a blogging slump. Sorry to join in 2 days late but I am finally getting back to blogging and getting my projects done. Miss you friend!
