You don't often see babies in knitted bonnets anymore, but I think they're so lovely.
I thought it may be too warm for a baby to wear mittens, I needn't have worried with the weather we're having.
The little bootees should keep her tootsies nice and cosy.
So this is the whole set.
They were wrapped in tissue paper and popped in a gift bag. Eleanor took them round to give her and she was really pleased with them.
I love knitting baby clothes, it's just a shame I don't know more people with babies to knit for.
Aww this set is beautiful.Its lovely to see teeny babies in knitted clothes.

Awww, don't they look sweet? :o)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious, you have a very lucky neighbor.
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful gift... handmade, specially chosen yarn and perfect to keep the new babe cozy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the weather perhaps the delightful stuff we're having will be making its way across the ocean to you soon!

Your baby knits are beautiful, and your next door neighbour is a very lucky lady.

They're beautiful. Seeing them has brought back happy memories of knitting for my girls when they were still known as 'the bump' or ' Fred'.
ReplyDeleteIf I were ambitious, I would knit something for my new grand baby coming August but I just can't get back to knitting. I never tried knitting with the tiny soft yarn that is required to make something as soft and cuddly as you have made. Coo doos to you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set of clothes. Your neighbour's baby is very lucky :)
ReplyDeleteThe little baby set is beautiful Jo, it's nice to see a baby dressed in proper baby clothes instead of mini adult jeans and t-shirts.......pretty pink too.

ReplyDeleteDear Jo,
ReplyDeleteThankyou for visiting my blog and commenting! I love knitted baby clothes and those that you have knitted are really pretty! The OH's mum knitted some lovely cardies and jumpers for KP when she was small and I've still got them as I couldn't part with them!
Have become a follower of your blog!

Jo - the set is gorgeous. Your youngest little neighbour is going to be really snuggly! Jx
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, thank you so much for your lovely comment over at mine. I am lucky that I'm close to all 3 girls, we have fun together and I have lots of shopping buddies. The little set you have knitted is lovely, I'm not surprised your neighbour was pleased and I bet that baby girl is beautiful. It must be very satisfying knitting baby clothes beauase they don't take too long. Hope you have a lovely weekend xxx
ReplyDeletethey look beautiful. I am always shocked at how few people put their babies in knitted jackets etc. Both of mine were always dressed in knitted stuff from my mother in law. Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely present you made. We have hand knitted items donated in the charity shop all the time and they sell really well.

These are so beautiful, you are a very talented knitter! I am slightly in awe. What a very lucky recipient, you obviously put a lot of time and care into this gift. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitted baby outfit.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your lovely comments, I appreciate them all.
ReplyDeleteLove From Poppy - Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment.
Scarlet - I didn't knit a thing for my two, something I really regret now. I used to knit all sorts of things when I was in my teens, then stopped knitting altogether until a couple of years ago.
June - Thank you for visiting and becoming a follower. My mother in law knitted lots of little cardigans for my two, but they didn't last very long so I haven't kept any. I bet you've got some lovey keepsakes.
These are so pretty, and so timelessly traditional.
ReplyDeleteBecause I design knitting patterns for baby things I have given finished items away on the blog. One pair of baby shoes ended up in Tasmania that way!
Thank you, Annie. It's a great idea to give away baby items on the blog. I love knitting baby garments but don't really know anyone with babies, so I suppose I could do that too.
