Back in the groove

It's nice to be back in the groove of knitting again! After getting Christmas stuff out of the way, I have had several baby items to make (so many friends having babies! Must be something in the water???)....

For my friend from high school Sarah, who is having a baby girl ANY DAY now, I sent her this hat and bootie set:






Next up, one of my coworkers and his wife were also due to have a baby girl (she is born now!) so Cynthia and I collaborated to make a hat and booties (she did the booties) out of some fun orange yarn:





Pattern: Aston hat

Third in line is another one of my high school friends, Becca, who is having a baby boy in March! We just had her baby shower this last weekend, so I got these things together:



Booties:   Garter stitch booties  (used some mods from ravelry)
Sweater:  Felix's cardigan

I also threw in a couple of bibs for Becca as well:


Pattern: Sideways Garter Stitch Bib (rav link)


Pattern: I love stockinette baby bib  (rav link)


WHEW! I have a couple other bibs but I haven't gifted them yet (for 2 other friends who have already had their babies). It's the same garter stitch sideways bib as the solid blue one above, only I cast on less stitches and used small scraps of different colored cotton I had lying about. It makes for a cute bib and a good use for all the tiny balls of cotton I have!


Anyway I think that's enough for now! Will post again soon with some charity knitting and something I just cast on for Norah :)
