Blankets & Sweaters

I added a sweater to the first two of the sets you see below.
I also have in the box to go a larger blanket (a little under double) and a hat of the variegated blue (first set's color).

I've been working on sweaters. And I'm sorry the pattern is slowly coming. I have trouble writing up for others to understand, lol. But I also have ready to go the following three sweater/hat sets.
This guy is the smallest with a torso circ around 6 in.



Second in size the torso here is around 7in

My biggest for this batch: 9in torso


This picture shows you largest to smallest.


I'm also working on dresses, which I have gotten close, but I'm just not happy with them yet. And I've made a blanket in the mean time for me to keep :) Plus there are memory boxes just waiting for their pictures to be taken before I can sent them off too.
So I've been busy just haven't posted in awhile.

Another Batch of Blankets


This one has on it a heavenly handful from Ashton Drake. These little guys are about 4 inches long, so it helps show the size of these blankets. This is a baby about 14ish weeks along.



This one is supposed to be blue, but the camera doesn't show it well.







Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this variegated yarn? It has to be one of my favs since it's green and purple together!! Hello!! Those are my baby colors :)

Knitting for other Angels

I also took up knifty knitting :) With my new found knitting skills I have made little hats, blankets and booties to give those who loose their babies for whatever reason something to hold on to. I still have the burial gown, hat and blanket that was given to Kaitlin. Its the only outfit that i have that fit her and it was the only bit of clothing that touched her skin. So it sits tucked away. I want to give others something like that to hang on. Since I know others who have walked away from the hospital with almost nothing. It's hard enough to deal with the loss of child but to have nothing to hold is worse. Here is the first one I ever made...i'm still learning.


This one I love, since it's just so delicate looking.

I've also included with each of the sets little bears.
They will be a perfect fit for their tiny hands.


I used chunky yarn for this one. I won't use it again.
But i'm still learning and I believe that ANY thing is better than walking away with nothing.


This is my favorite one to date.
I want to make a larger one for a future baby girl.
I just need remember what dollar store I got the purple from now ;)
