Knitting Frenzy!!

Wow! Once Brandon's Grandma found out we were pregnant, I think the knitting needles came out within minutes!! :) We are so excited about the hand-knit blankies that the baby has. This is the first one that Tai made for the little guy...


Here's Grandma in "action" with the blankie! Isn't it AWESOME???!!??!




To top that off, it's double sided! The square pattern is on the front and it's a solid purple on the back!!! (Lisa's little Bambina has the same exact blankie, but hers will have a blue border on the back so we can tell the blankies apart. Pretty smart, Tai!!)


We were completely happy with just the one blankie, but a few weeks later, Tai had knit an ENTIRE outfit for the baby, complete with matching blankie! He now has a sweater, feetie pants and hat. So Cute!!

Here's a pic of the blankie...


Not only will the baby have fashionable blankies to wrap himself up in, but Nana Young also knit us a wonderful sweater. Well...at the shower it was "Rusty & Lacey's" gift to us...but somehow I think both of their sets of paws are a little too big to work the knitting needles to turn out a BEAUTIFUL sweater like that!
Oh...by the way, it's hanging in the baby's newly designed and installed closet (We LOVE the Elfa system at The Container Store!)
Okay...that's it for now! Look for our next couple of blog posts!!!

Hi Shell -

You are very lucky to have people who can knit and crochet for you - something that is totally foreign to me. The outfits, sweaters, and blankies are wonderful!!!! The baby will love them.

Love,
MOM

P.S. Love your closet ... post more pictures.

Hi Shell:

The sweater jacket looks a little lonely in the baby's closet. I have a feeling that there will be plenty of clothes coming your way - VERY SOON!

Love,
Mom
