Knits for Blue

It was much colder here today as you can see from the fact that Blue's cheeks have a rosey quality that they lacked in his debut photo shoot. I decided in light of that weather change that he needed a handknit sweater and hat to keep him warm. He still has no hair so I couldn't just knit the sweater and have him all bald and cold up top while getting his picture taken. I used yarn scraps (Thanks Janet!). The sweater is inspired by a pattern that I am looking at to design a sweater for me. I started on it this evening after dinner and knit a little here and there. It went pretty quickly. The hat is simply 2x2 ribbing with stockinette stitch to obtain the needed height to clear his head. Once again, pretty simple.

I have decided that I have to curb this fetish with making clothes for him or I'll start getting questions as to why my son's doll has such an extensive wardrobe.
None-the-less I have planned a scarf, some jeans, and some slippers/shoes for him and of course in the warmer months he'll need some shorts, t-shirts, sandals. . .maybe Blue will even have his own blog. You never know so stay tuned.
