This is the first part of a little set of hat jacket and bootees, from Patons Little Babies, vol 2.  Flowers added to make it even prettier. Knitted in Sweet Feet SF4749.

We’re building our stock week by week, and this week we have an exciting new addition to the fold. I did some sneak peek pics, but they were all blurred! So you’ll just have to wait! Its a brand new 4ply yarn, and is very luxurious. It is indeed handpainted heaven! It’s just been a bit frustrating not being able to get as much done as I would have liked, especially as we have had splendid drying weather. The kids are off school, see, and are too young to self-entertain for too long, so park/swimming/picnics/country walks it is. Not that I am actually complaining. I am one of a minority, I suspect, who really enjoys them being home. We’ve worked hard to enable me to be at home as much as poss, and I truly feel lucky that I can spend so much time with them:-)

I’ve also been experimenting with Sweet Feet. It’s such a lovely 4ply that I thought it would work really well for baby clothes. Its super soft, anti-bac and machine washable. I’ve a little something to show you just to prove I was right (I like being right!). I’ll post progress separately so it can go in the gallery.
