Baby Stuff!

It seems like lately everyone is having babies!!  My mom's cousin's daughter just had a baby girl and I thought I would knit her a sweater.  I went to my favorite site ravelry to find some good patterns.  The pattern for the Garter Yoke Baby Cardi can be found here.  This pattern is super easy and looks great!  I did the booties next.  Again through ravelry I found this pattern for Mary Jane Booties.  Again super easy and only one seam to sew at the end.  For the hat I used the Fixation Newborn Hat on ravelry (no link).  I made a few adjustments, so that the garter stitch part was the same length as on the sweater.  They all turned out great, and look like they were all made to be together!
On the advice of a friend I add some yellow flowers.  I think it makes this really cute.  The pattern for the flowers is here.  I didn't add the buttons to the flowers but they still look great without them.  I also added yellow buttons.

oh man! Hat too! YOU ROCK GIRL! :) Also... love the flowers... I just liked the way the yellow ties looked while you were working on it!

That is going to be one styling baby!

Also, you get too much done. You're making me look bad.
