n anticipation of our baby boy, I have been doing some crafting for the past 10 months. Here are a few projects I have completed, most with links to the free patterns I used. I love free online patterns! First is a simple pair of newborn pants with a little appliqued onesie. My 5 year old selected the fabric for this. It is a soft flannel.

entered the battle field. One side of the cloths are various quilting cotton and flannel fabrics, the other side are jersey knit from upcycled t-shirts or terry cloth. The fabric showing on the top is my 5 year old's original design from a sunflower watercolor painting, fabric printed by Spoonflower. She entered a contest with it and although she didn't win they sent a free fat quarter of her fabric, which made two burp cloths! She also did some of the sewing on these.

h to look at photo-wise, this next one will get a lot of use. It is a nursing cover much like the ones formerly known as hooter-hiders, with stiff opening around neck, but the cover is much larger for better coverage.

aby boy, the first two sweaters I have ever knit. I got both patterns off of Ravelry the brown one is the Baby Sophisticate, knit in a cotton/modal blend that is so soft. I made the 6-12 month size, only adjusted the yarn to be worsted instead of aran weight and down one needle size hoping for more like 6 month size. I think it will work. The pattern is a seamless one, which was nice.

ow is a little knit baby hat, that takes me back to my knitting roots, blogged here, here, and here. A simple stockinette hat with rolled brim that has stripes because of frugality, using up whatever yarn was in my stash (same for sleeves of above sweater). The off-white yarn is baby alpaca, I think, while the blue is the same Vintage in sweater above.
