I thought you might like to see the baby jacket I've made for the O.H.'s sister's first grandchild who is due today but is kicking her heels & hasn't arrived yet (they know it's a girl). I haven't crocheted anything for years, probably 20 or more, & have spent the last week or so unpicking this several times! ;D It's actually my second attempt at the pattern, I tried the newborn size with different wool but it must have been too fine a ply as it turned out so small it wouldn't have fit a Barbie doll ;D, so I decided to do 3-6 months in a chunkier wool. It's nothing like the lovely creations we've seen from Esther, Ladybird & Lou etc. on here but I tried! ;D Front  Back  |

That looks lovely Sue. That hand made item for the baby is something personal, in this throw away society we live in today. |

Thank you all for indulging me, I know it's not exactly the Bayeux Tapestry but it took me nearly as long! ;D
I did try to start knitting a baby bonnet first but I'm even worse at knitting & the pattern had some abbreviations I'd never heard of so I gave up eventually! ;D
I've been encouarged a bit now though & may try to crochet something else - best make it something to fit a one year old by the time I finish! ;D
No sign of the baby yet.
