I almost had a finished project to share in this week’s Yarn Along. My shawl is done but not ‘done done’ so I’ll wait to show you.
Can you guess what I have started?? Yep, it’s a baby surprise jacket. I found this pretty Bernat Mosaic at Walmart yesterday. Since the Momma isn’t going to find out which she’s having I was hoping this would be unisex. It’s turning out rather girlie 🙂 It’s so hard to believe Andrea is having a baby. It doesn’t seem so long ago she looked like this:
Andrea’s the little blonde on the floor, second from the right. Her sister is beside her and little Thomas on my lap. Grandma looked after them ever since they were born and were more like little siblings to Belinda and me.
I’ve just started The Hour that Matters Most. I can’t discuss it much right now, I have to do a full review later. But so far it’s an interesting read.
At Home With Us 
It does look girlie! So I guess it is a girl! I tend to stick to light greens and whites when i don’t know. Rain today huh?
I try to do different colours for unisex. I just don’t really like mint green and yellow on babies. That’s one reason I like all these funky sock yarns. They often work for baby sweaters. I thought this yarn had more blue to it. No rain here yet. Overcast but no rain -good thing they are busy doing soy beans today.
I really really want to make the baby surprise jacket but have yet to get hold of the pattern. The colours are looking cute, is the mama to be open to pretty pastels for either gender. I would be if it was something as special as a handknit BSJ. xx
Pretty yarn, let’s hope for a girl! 😉
Such pretty yarn 🙂 My sister is having a baby in the spring so I’m going to have to check out the pattern. I’m going to try and knit and sew up a bunch of stuff over the winter to surprise her with when here little one arrives 🙂
Baby surprise jacket is an addictive pattern -be warned 🙂 I like the shawl you’re making. Very pretty colours.
