Would you like to see what I’ve been knitting?
leaf detail
Pattern: Greenleaf
Size knit: Newborn. Ish. I made it a smidge bigger so an August baby could wear it in the winter.
Yarn: Don’t throw things at me, please. I was working and leaving for South Carolina and needed yarn fast. I bought ::blush:: Vanna’s Choice something or other. From Wal-Mart. I know. For the record, it is surprisingly soft for acrylic. Just sayin’.
Needles: size 7 / 4.5mm
Started: February 7
Finished: February 19
Modifications: I knit a a bit past the recommended 5″ as the receiving baby will be 4ish months old during winter. Or possibly because I was at SnB with no tape measure.
Knit it again? Most likely, it was a super-easy knit.
Notes: This is seriously a 1-2 day knit. Had I not left it home when I went off to SC I would have finished it the day after I started. I highly recommend it as a last-minute shower gift or a crap-I-have-nothing-to-bring-to-the-hospital gift. Worsted + 7s/4.5mms + baby hat = fastfastfast

cute!
That is adorable. I might just have to knit a few for ours to be.
Adorable! I know a baby being born today…maybe this is what he’ll get!
I suppose I can forgive, still you did you Ack-Cry-Lick. . . just promise me you won’t stash any. ;)
If the intended recipient can’t even spell wool yet (much less acrylic) then wash-and-wear acrylic is the way to go. You are forgiven.
Again, flippin’ cute. Me lovey. Make one in my size?
that is awesome! And BTW-congrats!
