Finished at last

Post by wendy »

This is the coat I took into hospital with me and totally messed it up.
At last it is finished, I just need to put some buttons on.
In this is photo the jacket is on a doll.

Patience rewarded then Wendy, I must admit when I used to knit years ago I was quite happy until I realised I had made a mistake and had to undo it , then I seemed to lose interest in that particular garment - no staying power. I love hand knitted baby clothes, so intricate and always love knitted into them too . And the next project is ...................?
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .

Well Annie.... I have tried to sort out my cross stitch that Spencer threw the threads away to. But I realised he had also thrown away the paper with the symbols on :? . So I am foxed at the moment. I may have to mail the company and see if they can let me have the paperwork.
But I am now onto a little cross stitch my daughter gave me, a small family tree.

It's beautiful Wendy. Is it for a particular baby or is it just one to have on hand in case of a new-baby-gift-crisis?

There's something very satisfying about knitting tiny baby clothes :-D
