I finished the diagonal baby blanket today. Yay! Here it is with the matching BSJ that I made a year or so ago. And then here’s another BSJ/blanket pair I made a couple years ago for potential grandchildren. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting #KnittingForBaby 🧶

Cover of the Billy pattern by West Yorkshire Spinners. It’s a stocking stitch jumper for babies/toddlers using their Bo Peep yarn. It’s a simple drop shoulder design with the left shoulder open and secured with three buttons.

The jumper in progress. I’m using their Rosemary colorway and am almost to the 11 cm mark. There’s a yellowish ruler on the right. It was a promotional item from a mortgage company from back in the day when these things were routinely given out. My mom picked it up along the way. It’s easily older than any of my kids. It makes me happy to have something that my mom used, particularly because it’s an everyday item that no one else would know the significance of and something I use all the time.

I guess today is going to be a baby knits kind of day. The first thing I reached for to stress knit on is the itty bitty jumper for Quinn. It’s a little bit too cropped for me. Pattern calls for marking bottom of armholes at 11 cm but I think I’m going to go to 14 ish. #KnittingForBaby #Knitting 🧶

I finished the baby Wild Flower socks today. I was never truly playing yarn chicken because I weigh my yarn. But, damn, this one was as close as I knew it would be. #KnittingForBaby #Knitting #LichenAndLace 🧶 #NightlyProgressReport

Final update* on my Lana Grossa baby knitting adventure… out of the one skein (which weighed 102 grams) I made a size 1 hat and a pair of socks and a size 2 hat with 2 pairs of socks. #KnittingForBaby #Knitting 🧶

*I’ll probably make a sweater next. If so, I’m lying about this being the last update.

My vanilla sock recipe has 9 sizes. 6 for kids & 3 for adults. I haven’t knit all the middle sizes to measure the foot length yet and add that info to my notes. That’s an ongoing project. But here’s the difference between size 1 and 2 (newborn/premie and newborn-3 mos). #KnittingForBaby 🧶 #Socks

This is the 1st size 2 sock out of the Rave yarn. Since Rave is DK weight this is more like a size 3.

Finished infant sock in blue, red, yellow, and green.

Figure I’ll start with infant size and work my way up from there. This is 32 stitches. After I make a few pair that are this size I’ll go up to 40 stitches. Lather, rinse, repeat. #KnittingForBaby #Knitting 🧶

Ice Cream Sundae uses DK-weight yarn in two colours. The contrast colour is for the collar, sleeve hem, and body edging. I chose a pale blue cotton-merino blend yarn for the main colour.

The Ice Cream Sundae bolero calls for 2 buttons to close the front. I had a few button options, and I ultimately chose the two large yellow buttons.

The Ice Cream Sundae bolero is a perfect little shrug for spring. It is such a cute little garment that uses up a small amount of yarn. I might need to knit one for Kaito and another for Sayuri!

I love the little seed stitch hem! The neck and armholes are also edged in seed stitch.

Now that I've reached the stripes, it seems like the knitting is just flying off the needles.
