Baby Knits

Here's a little package I put together for my fabulous friends Katie and Chris O...well really it's mostly for their little bundle on the way, baby Claire. But I did include this beautiful book for Katie. Do you ever get tempted to read a book that you are buying for someone before you give it to them? Yeah, I felt that way with this book.
Katie took these pics when the package arrived. The hat and sweater I knit with some beautiful buttery yellow Malabrigo (mmm...Malabrigo). And I have to say this is probably my favorite hat pattern for wee ones. I've made it three times now and it's so cute and fun to knit. Cables always make things fancy. And the sweater, well, I'll definitely be knitting it again. Also super cute, easy, and fun to knit. A winning combo.

I'm slightly addicted to knitting baby items because they knit up so fast and they are so freaking adorable.In other news, I've been volunteering at the Bellingham Birth Center
for a few weeks now mostly sorting files, putting together folders, etc. But today...today I got to unpack a freezer full of frozen placentas and I was so excited! It was the highlight of my day! That might sound strange, but I am so excited to be a midwife someday.
