Many months ago I found the pattern for the sweater above and decided to make it for my freind's baby. Thankfully it is a twelve-month size, because little Monkey Schuitman is due in the next couple weeks! I should have just enough time to finish sewing a couple of burp cloths and bibs to tuck along into the package.
And, since I had spent so much time laboriously following a pattern, I decided to treat myself to an afternoon and evening spent with a free-form baby hat and adapted pattern for some booties to match. These really are as soft as they look and I hope they will keep little Monkey nice and cozy.
Now, where did I put my sewing machine?
