Baby Surprise Jackets.......finished!
I have not posted much...but I read several times a day. I finally updated
my blog with pix of EZ's Baby Surprise Jackets, 2 are finished and one more on the needles...this time using sock weight yarn and smaller needles. The first 2 were done in worsted weight and should fit 6 month olds.....I made them for 2 girls at work that are due anytime and figgered they would be ready for the winter months. So if your interested my site is http://www.dabsy.net/knits/ Now off to the monthly knit nite at our local libraryG Hope all are well or getting there...{{{{{{{{GEM}}}}}} Donna |

Baby Surprise Jackets.......finished!
Congratulations. The BSJ is great fun. However, my first one,
knitted from Hyacinth yarn (which was lovely) was much too small for my 2 year old grand-daughter, despite the best intentions of the yarn store owner. I ripped it all out and now have some great yarn for another project. Instead, I used a cotton bulky yarn and the Baby Einstein pattern. This time, IT'S GOING TO FIT! joan On Aug 27, 5:41?pm, "DAB" Buckeye wrote: I have not posted much...but I read several times a day.

Oh no that would make me madG the pattern says worsted weight on bigger
needles will do up to a 1 year old. I knit lose so not sure using the sock weight and size 3 needles will be small enough for a newborn so will use the first 2 as a rough gauge. They are fun to knit.....hummm I will have to check out the one you mention. Donna joan8904 wrote: Congratulations. The BSJ is great fun.

Congratulations on your success, Donna. It will be interesting to see what
size you get with the sock weight yarn. -- Jan in MN "DAB" wrote... I have not posted much...but I read several times a day.

What I've read so far gives such clear and concise instructions that I'm very impressed. Thanks for sharing. Grafting is a bit "fiddly" the first time you do it but I learned on those little gingerbread men I made. I grafted the two body sections together at the head and it was much easier on the second one. The finish is much neater too. Good luck with the sock. |

Well the sock is fugged up but it's the toe an nobody will see it or care ;-) I started another one on smaller needles...different color so I don't get bored and in between I will practice on test pieces for a few times until I can understand what is going on. My middle fingers don't bend in the middle joints so is kinda awkward. I will post pictures this weekend. The Yarn I used was Regia Crazy color....in reds, and pinks and gold...I love the thicker stripes and the yarn feels real soft on my feet, I used size 2 needles and the sock fits but feels lose around my foot.....I used a 2X2 rib for the top and that is fine so this second sock in shades of blues is on size 1 needles. I wonder if I wash the sock if it will shrink a tad. |
