Knitted gifts so far

I have already begun receiving the most adorable knitted things for my little girl, so I thought I would post them!

First off, the cutest most awesome little apple hat, hand knit by my MIL who did a fantastic job (with just a lil bit of finishing help from my SIL, hee hee)


Too bad peanut won't be born in time for the Johnny Appleseed festival!!!!

Second off, I just got these the other day as hand knit hand-me-downs from my friend Larissa! She made these for HER little girl, who just turned one today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIVIAN!!!!!!!!) and kindly has passed along her knits for my little girl to treasure as well! How awesome!!!!


Wasn't even worn, I get to find a button or closure also! So cute!


Little white rose buttons, adorable!

I am loving it so far, thank you ladies for contributing to my little girl. Maybe this winter I can take a picture of her every day in something handknit from someone.... wouldn't that be insane? Maybe not every day. How about every week??? :-)

For all you knitting friends...

OK: Here's my comprehensive list of what I have knit for my baby. This is to show you that NO I have not knit her everything under the sun already, and I am not going to be able to! I am really excited to have anyone who wants to make something for my lil girl :-) Seriously! Please don't think it won't be welcome!!!!!

1. Peace Sign Bib


2. Cabled Baby Bib (Rav link)


3. "Leapfrog" cabled baby pants


4. Modern Baby Bonnet (Rav link)


still have to sew the buttons on:

5. Autumn Leaves sweater



And most recently:

6. Baby bell bottoms
I don't have a picture yet because I only have about an inch knit on these!!!! They are going to be a nice deep purple!

So ya see girls???? I am seriously slacking! My SIL and I have plans to knit a blankie for my girl, and I think another one of my friends said she is going to knit a blankie, but I am definitely missing some things! Can anyone say booties? Or dresses? or little gloves? or more hats? I mean sheesh! :) Soooooo if you are thinking about it, just keep in mind 0-6 months will be winter, and 6-12 months will be summer! I have to keep reminding myself that too :) Hopefully my girl won't be a giant and outgrow all this cute teeny little stuff I am gathering for her.
