candyknits

totally inspired by the birth of Stella, i picked up my knitting needles again recently and finished my first project for the year, just a few weeks before Stella was born.

the cupcake hat - a pattern i had reserved for your future baby years ago :) it turned out to be quite big for Stella (as she was a teeny-tiny newborn baby! and i didn't have any idea what sizes new born babies came in!).

fastforward to 3 months later, it (kinda) fits! haha :) i think she can wear this for several more months (or even a year) :)

then came the baptism bonnet, which you chose, to match her baptism dress :)

this time it was a wee bit too small, and just barely fit stella on baptism day (after being stretched out on a ball of yarn for a week)

daphne and delilah monster has been one of my favorite projects so far - such a fun thing to knit! i wanted stella to have it while she was still a baby so i made it in black and white (and also so it would match her crib and your bedroom too - haha).

it looks huge next to her now, but at the rate she is going, i'm sure it will be looking smaller and smaller in no time :)

so i've finished 3 projects in 4 months, a pretty good ratio for me :) and now i'm finishing my 4th project, a mancowl for twinpopbaguio...

....and with a 5th and 6th one lined up already for tati and alvarro :) i'm excited! :)

its a much better way to spend my free time than watching tv or facebooking :) (thanks stelly!)
