  tis the season
for cute baby stuff! Have you ever noticed how babies tend to come in waves? Several people I know are expecting new babies this year, so there's been a bunch of baby knits around here! Including some that turned out a little too tiny, at least for a spring baby. oops!

Elijah I knit sort of last-minute, as the Baby Surprise Sweater I was working on was looking too small!



The finished elephant is awesome, but I think it's something I'd have put down for a while if I was not in a hurry! It's pretty fiddly, and you stuff it as you go along. This is great in that you are done when you bind off the last part, but annoying that you have to move this elephant blob around always! I do think I finished it way faster than I would have had there been sewing-together to do after knitting, so overall it was good.

I whipped up this onesie the evening before the baby shower!



Luckily, there seemed to be a lot of cute baby jungley stuff, including other elephants, so these seemed to fit in! Now I just need to figure out how to keep gauge for a 6-12 month baby sweater!!

We need to find a pattern for a Woolarina for you to knit up. That would be a cute baby gift.
