Ok, so they look a bit scary, but the doc said not to take the pics too literally, as the 3D scanning picks up interference as well as the baby's face, plus, as 20 weeks, the baby is still minus all the yummy, squiggy fat that they have when full-term! Stillllllll.....I still think they are pretty amazing so here they are.
There is a theme in my knitting at the moment and it happens to be girly and pink (now there's a surprise!).
This beauty was a dream to knit, really quick and satisfying! The pattern is from The Wheel, Ashford's Fibrecraft Magazine, and I was lucky enough to have the lovely ladies at Bilby Yarns send me a copy! Horrah!
The yarn is Merino Cashmere Sock Yarn from The Knittery (yummy yum yum - that's a technical knitting term dontchaknow) and I only used half a 100gm ball to make this newborn wrap! Open's up a whole lot of potential for my stash of sock yarn (considering I am yet to break through into the sock knitting world).
I think this will look lovely on "loretta" (our dodgy nickname for the unborn).
Again, it's been a while since I posted any crafty stuff on here, but you're used to that by now right?
Anyhow, this is my first serious piece of crochet and I am quite pleased with the result, although there are a few things I would like to do differently, such as tighter stitches so the stuffing doesn't doesn't show through.
These were made with my new daughter in mind (although with 4 months to go before we meet her, I guess I have time to make a new set). Instead they are now headed for the UK for my sister, who is due to have surgery on her back (Nasty!!) on the 30th of this month. Thought they might make her smile during the whole ordeal!
The pattern is from the marvellous Amy Gaines and was easy peesy to follow, even for a virgin croheter like me. I decided to make the faces all unique and I love the finished result!
Yes, you guessed it, baby #4 is PINK!!!! Horrah!!
Not that I don't just LOVE boys, but when you have 3 already, it feels so great to finish off our lovely family with a little girl.
We didn't plan to find out until she popped, but I had an amnio and when my doctor gave me the results asking if I wanted to know the sex (with a little grin on her face), I couldn't resist! Needless to say we are thrilled and I will FINALLY have a use for all the Debbie Bliss Wool Cotton I own in pinks and lilacs!
Feeling much better nausea wise, although I never have easy pregnancies and I fear this one is not going to sail past with ease. Still a few female hormones won't defeat me!
Oh and on the knitting front, I have started back with a vengence and just need to find the time to photograph and post....watch this space!
