A New Baby Outfit

A New Baby Outfit

My husband comes from an even larger family than I do. His siblings are having grandchildren now, as opposed to my family where the siblings are having great grandchildren.  His youngest nephew will be having a baby in October.  I know I am a little ahead of myself, but that is a rare occurrence for me; I generally wait until the last minute to do everything. When you knit or crochet as slowly as I do, though, last minute is not an option.  I would like to thank Jennifer Cox, Beth Koskie and Beverly A. Qualheim at  http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/kp3.html  for the patterns. I would also like to thank my sister Barbara for the yarn;0)

 I have a wonderful nephew-in-law, the son-in-law of the very same Barbara who gave me the wool.  He and I went flea marketing this past Sunday. I wanted a doll who might be a model for the baby sweaters I have been and will be making in the future. I came across this cutie, a Playskool doll name L'il Sister.  She is a little too chubby to be a bootie model and the sweater has to stretch to get over her wrists, so I will be on the lookout for a more life-sized model.  But she is a sweet and having her model the outfit at least gives an indication of the size.
