Fair Isle Baby

Now that I know what color to make it...baby is getting the cute Fair Isle sweater from the Debbie Bliss book.


I was hoping to be making it in pink or purple, but since Blueberry would look pretty silly in a purple sweater I guess it will have to be these instead.



The main part of the sweater will be dark blue and the pattern on the yoke will have the light blue, red, and white.

Here's the first sleeve.


I have to see if I can find a size 5 circular to work on the rest. It's pretty hard to get 125 stitches on a 12 inch straight needle. So, until then I'm stuck. I might have to go back to the socks.

Man Enough

I have been given the green light to make a stripe-y baby blanket with the following yarn.


It's one of my favorites...Berroco's Ultra Alpaca. Apparently it's manly enough for little Mr. Blueberry.

I'm still looking for the right pattern or at least some inspiration for one.

Baby Bobbi Bear

I am beginning a knitting spree. Knitting for babies makes this easy.

I just ordered the pattern for Baby Bobbi Bear from Blue Sky Alpacas. I'd put a picture of him here, but they're hard to come by. The picture on the site uses Flash so you can zoom in!

I'm making him in a different yarn, but it's still fantastic, soft baby alpaca. It's KnitPicks Andean Treasure in Granite Heather. I think he'll be pretty cute. I should get everything this week! Can't wait.
