Little Boy Blue Revisited

Our family is expanding unto the fourth generation. The newest addition will be born this summer. He will be my Great Great Nephew. On the shower invitation was a request to replace the normal baby shower card with a book. The family of the soon-to-be GGN are really appreciative of hand made/home made presents which fit nicely into my plans since I was in the process of  knitting a blue baby outfit (sweater, soaker and booties).  I decided to press my luck and create a 'book'. I thought of  making the book out of linen and make t-shirt transfers and press them on the cloth. However, I couldn't find linen close to home. There might have been some at Joann Fabrics, but Joann Fabrics was in  the middle of moving from one location to another and I didn't feel courageous enough to face the commotion of the move.  I rethought the process and decided to use a photo album and turn it into a book. To coordinate the book and the outfit I determined that an expanded edition of Little Boy Blue would be appropriate.

I had an enjoyable time making both the outfit and the book. I hope my GGN and his family enjoy them as well.
