more for the littles
Last weekend I finished the gift baby sweater, just in time for this weekend’s baby shower. I’m not entirely happy with the crochet edging, but that’s my own fault. I have never actually learned to crochet and it shows. After several mediocre attempts I decided it had that made-with-love look and left it alone. I do a lot of “yay, look what I made! put it on the fridge with a gold star!” but they aren’t all home runs. Even when I really want a gold star for effort.
As long as I’m complaining, I wish I’d done better with the lighting in that photo. The story there is that I was awake at 3:30 with heartburn, Braxton-Hicks, and a touch of carpal tunnel. So while it wasn’t the best light to take pictures I’m claiming a gold star for effort.
The little striped pants are not made by me but bought from Gymboree like a normal person. Apparently the babies who don’t wear pink or blue wear a lot of yellow and green, which is convenient for matching. DJ’s contribution to the package is a black onesie with “n00b” printed on the front. I get that this is slang relevant to his IT professional brother, but I still think it’s funny how clear it is who chose what.
You definitely get a star for your efforts
“bought from gymboree like a normal person.” love it
the sweater is beautiful!
