Baby Gift

Here is another completed knitting project (finished this week!). Our cousin had a baby boy last month, and I wanted to make something useful, cute, and of course handmade!

I used knitpick's comfy yarn (cotton and acrylic blend) and it is *s0* incredibly soft. These little washcloths ended up being rectangular, but they are just the right size for washing a baby. I used a seed stitch border and Debbie Bliss' sailboat pattern from one of her sweaters for the blue and white one. The green ones are seed stitch also.

I may knit up more of these in different colors/themes for my etsy store, but it depends on how much time I can squeeze in for knitting. It seems like so many other things creep in - like laundry and dishes! UGH! ;)

You are very clever! Sailboats on a washcloth celebrate boyhood so wonderfully. I'm sure your gift will be so appreciated and used often!

Dang that life thing that gets in the way of our crafting, huh? LOL

Wow this is so amazing and thoughtful! I would love something like this! I would love to be able to make something like this but I'm lucky if I can knit a scarf! You are so crafty on so many levels and a wonderful person to boot!
