Summer in Kansas is not the time to knit. But when babies are coming knitting is called for. My husband's brother's wife (hereafter referred to as my Sister-in-law, Ann) and I always try to team up and do the sweater, sock, hat thing when a baby comes. It's always best when I get to do the sweater and she does hat and socks. Her hats tend to be a bit more imaginative than mine AND she has a pom-pom maker. I may have lied this time and told her it was my turn to do the sweater. If I did do that, I was only thinking of the baby.
Unfortunately we couldn't rustle up a little tyke to model this outfit for us. So this is as good as it gets. We selected winter white for this Colorado baby who should look pretty cute in it come October when the snow starts to fly. Now that I know she's a girl though you can bet there will be something pink and orange getting started any day now. Olivia Lorraine I can't wait to squish you.
I wish I were a little tyke in your family so I could be gifted the very same ensemble. I'd wear it proudly when the ice starts dripping from the sky here in Kansas! Beautiful...

I am declaring myself a big baby and need a sweater and hat set pronto. Please? I'll let you squish my granddaughter.

So precious, Grasshopper! This outfit would look perfect in pink! Or orange, dark green, heathered yarns...I'm a push over for knitting baby things! I live in a much hotter (115F) place, high desert southwest, than you do...I knit year round as do many of my friends.
Love the pix of the cats...Lewis & Clark...will you ever have another pair? Like Bonnie and Clyde? Frankie and Johnny? Fred and Ginger? Tristan & Isolde? Romeo & Juliet?
I have a new Bengal cat, soon to be 2 yrs, I can't find a name I like for this cat...first time ever in over 20+ years of having cats that I can't find a name that suits her.
