Look at what arrived this morning at my house. Monkey and Kitty which I had ordered from Clair of Missy Muh. Arent they just adorable. I love their little faces and their little pot bellies too. Isabelle is already in love with the kitty and the monkey now has a permanent position next to the computer on my desk. I am sure tonight will be spent trying to think of a suitable name for each of them. Thank you Clair for making such cute animals! She is so talented and you must go take a peek at her blog if you havent already!
Oh and my third book arrived the next day that I was waiting on. I absolutely love all the cute and adorable patterns in this book by Lois Daykin. It is a must if you need to knit for little ones as a gift or if your lucky enough, your own baby. I love the teddy suit on the front cover, and there are lots of other wonderful knits too. I am going to try and knit up a hat from this book today, but more on that later.
I really love this little cardigan, and I wish it was big enough to knit for Isabelle. I am going to make it for my cousin's daughter, the one who was born about 2 months ago now. Shame on me for getting behind on knitting gifts. It seems just as I catch up someone else is having a baby. Must be the year for it I guess. I am sure that this little cardigan will be a delight to knit, and perhaps if I figure out the pattern I might be able to upsize it to fit my daughter too. I am still knitting away on the socks, and am on the gusset of the 2nd sock, so I am going to continue on that tonight and hopefully I will have a pair to photograph for you all soon. Happy knitting and have a wonderful wonderful day!

Thank you for stopping in my blog !Your Monkey and your Kitty looks so cute!I love it!You are really creative.Unfortunately I can knit only a scarf.Great job!
The wrap-around cardigan is very cute! That book looks like a good one for kids knits!
That baby cardigan rules! Simply amazing!!!!!
I love kitty and monkey.A friend has just had another baby so maybe I should get knitting for her. I've never done baby clothes! That cardi would be a lovely start.
Cheers Gillian
How cute is that teddy suit! I have a pattern for a similar teddy sleeping bag that I have made twice before as newborn gifts and they were very well received. I like the stitch pattern on the suit though - a bit more interesting than plain stocking stich. I also have made a baby jumpsuit (that still needs a zip, but it's pink and I had a boy so it's in the long time WIP box) that has a similar stitch pattern... hmmm, perhaps I should combine the patterns into something like that next time. Gorgeous. Have fun with it. The cardigan yu want to knit is adorable too.
mabel looks gorgeous! i put the yo yo and button on to hide all the stitches you need to securely get that tail attatched!
thank you for making her! x
