Ah, baby gifts....definitely fun projects. Since my baby is a dog I can only make these projects for friends. Monica is due in May. She wants to wait to know the sex of the baby which I thought was great, until I wanted to make a project and realized so much of baby stuff is gender specific. I winced and made one yellow project against my will, but the next one will be soft grey with red and a ducky.
My first sewn project besides pillow covers:
Naptime tote bag from Zoe Mellor's Nursery Knits. The quilted outside tote holds bottles, toys, diapers, etc and the side zipper completely unzips and is a reversible flannel nap pad/blanket. Monica is a busy woman and I had a feeling she would be toting her baby around, naps or 
no naps. She'll love it! I'm still not sure how to feel about yellow but that was as genderless as Jo Ann's had to offer.
no naps. She'll love it! I'm still not sure how to feel about yellow but that was as genderless as Jo Ann's had to offer.Moose would not get out of the way of the camera, he's such a poser now. He HAD to be in every shot.
Here's a preview of what will go in the tote gift, it's still in the process of being knitted: http://www.colourway.co.uk/pwrs.htm?nknits/p03.jpg+420+630+Click_to_close
Hopefully will have it finished one of these days; it's slow knitting (size 5 needles)....
Live Well,
