Now there are two babies to knit for. I’m not sure I can keep up with demand as well as my expectations of what I should be able to achieve…..so many things to do, so little time……

However, after the Christmas presents were (finally) finished, I turned my hand to a bit of knitting for our little boys.

Such has been the pressure to meet the Christmas and baby deadlines I don’t have photo’s for the finished crochet baby blanket, the knitted pram blanket (in the same fluffy turquoise/lilac yarns as above), the elephant comfort blanket, the tiny baby cardigan and hat, the big baby jumper…....oh and the giant version of the crochet christmas tree. The little version was a quick secret santa present for work (below). I liked it so much that I made one for myself :) It did add to the pressure though, but hey, it amused me and that’s the main thing. Mine is 13 rows of bobbles whereas the little one below is just 7 rows. It was made with 3 strands of yarn and a 9mm hook - I basically kept going until I ran out of wool!.
