Are you Shocked?

Baby Surprise JacketI know, second post in a single week, but I told you I was going to try and start posting more. we’ll just have to see how long this lasts. So, Cupcake’s baby surprise jacket is done and oh so cute if I do say so myself. I opted for a zipper instead of cutesy buttons in the hopes that it would mod it up just a bit. I also used a  heavier gauge yarn (handspun bulky in colorway Nayades from handpaintedyarn.com) than was called for so it’s nice and cushy. I haven’t been able to bring myself to wash it yet- I just  love the vinegar-y smell of the handpainted yarn! A wee bonnet is on the needles in a coordinating purple merino and if I can manage to stay off the computer it might be finished in time for the expected cold snap we should be getting late tomorrow or Wednesday.

    Adorable pictures. What a little southern bell you have on your hands. I bet she can lay it on thick. ;)

    The BSJ is so cute!!! I really want to try that pattern, but I keep putting it off. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to give it away! The Hallowe’en costumes are superb, and the girls, as always, adorable. Keep well, friend!

    Adorable! I love the costumes, especially the cute witch! My oldest wore something like 4 costumes this year. (Halloween is big at our house)! The little surprise jacket is just adorable, the zipper was a good idea.
