Knitting for a newborn

I've finished knitting the first item to give to a family in need of things for a newborn baby.



I have not put on the velcro on it yet. Still waiting for that Aplix to get here.

Another quick knitting. There's not much in way of gussets however. So I don't know how well it would work on containing leaks from the diapers.I thought about putting in gussets. I'll have to play around with the pattern later.

I will knit her another newborn size and a couple of baby socks.

Woolies

I've finished my wool socks. They are warming my feet at the moment. Unlike regular socks, I am slipping and sliding all over the hardwood floors with these socks. It's good for my balance exercise. I don't have good balance whatsoever.



It's not especially a pair of socks knitted for looking pretty. It is a basic pair of socks. I made it because for one, it's using worsted weight. It was a fast knit. Second, I made it because I need something warm for my feet. This pair does the trick. I am happy with it.

I will be knitting another pair but this time, I'll be making the leg sections longer.

Colorful log

I am slowly making progress with the log cabin blanket. My daughter and I have been sick for the past week and a half so I wasn't in any mood to knit for longer than a minute at a time. This is how far I have gotten with it:



Before I got sick, I finished knitting another wool soaker for my son. I also managed to finish two more pocket diapers. I really love those because they don't leak! I am waiting for a wider Aplix to come in the mail before I make more.

I am almost done with my wool worsted weight socks. I have been wearing the one that is done, alternating foot because it warms up my cold feet. I have a couple of inches of the foot and decreasing the toe before I am completely done with this pair of socks. After that, I will make another one, longer socks, with Wool Ease in blue. It is 100% wool, but I think it will still keep my feet warmer.

Back to microspun

The yarns came in today. I now have red, orange and yellow colors Microspun yarns. I am turning on my Ghost Hunter episodes on the DVR and will be sitting, watching and knitting. I foresee.... a lot of rows completed by the end of tonight. :D
