Small Reveal
Posted a couple of packages to California - not long till the new Grandbaby arrives. Now that the contents have been seen and approved, I can show off a bit.
This is "Babies and Bears" and I owe thanks to Kirstie for pointing me at the pattern source, and for showing her own version, which tempted me. I made it in cotton yarn, and left off the hood, since I thought that even a Californian "winter" might not need too much warmth.
Lene Alve's Aada went too, just in case a bit of wool might be needed. That's the one on the right with the third prize ticket on it
Then I had made a little angel top and pants from a piece of Tana Lawn that I have had for years - too small for something for me, but too pretty to be discarded. The colours are just scrumptious, and the trimming matched perfectly - and that, too, was something that had been waiting around for a long time.

Your baby knits are all wonderful! I love your hoodless version of the Babies and Bears sweater. It was fun seeing my granddaughter wearing hers this weekend. I'm sure yours will be much loved and appreciated too!
Ooh Jean, those are all utterly beautiful. That first one, was it knitted top down?
Toni, the top one was not knitted top down, nor was it knitted bottom up. It was knitted inwards from the cuff of each sleeve, and then joined at the centre back. Sort of like two funnels. Think about it and you will realise why I just HAD to have a go at it!
