A Few Finished Items

Four posts in one day really did me in for a few days! I've been busy finishing up the diaper covers and a couple of really cute hats for my boys.

The covers worked up quickly, but the buttons were a bit of a mystery to me for a couple of days. I couldn't decide where to put them, since they had to be somewhere the straps could overlap, but I finally sewed them on this morning, so I could get them on my boys after their baths this afternoon. We got 4 months vaccinations today, so my models were pretty grumpy, but the covers fit beautifully.

Another project that's been on the backburner for a couple of days are these aviator hats. They are a little odd looking without a precious baby face in them, but we got so many compliments from wearing them to the pediatrician's office today!

I love that I was finally able to find a use for the toasted almond I Love This Yarn I had to buy for a beard project last year. I barely used any of it for that project, but it's the perfect color for this adorable hat. The pattern was written for a newborn size, but the author put specs for a toddler size in the comments. I don't have an L hook, so I used my K hook and it fits my 4 month olds great.

Now that I've finished using all the yarn for my ugly square, I'm waiting to get to the store for yarn to make some cute newborn Mary Janes. After that, I will start on a dolman sweater I've been wanting since before I became pregnant, and then I'll be looking for a fun new knit project. I've been doing a lot of crocheting lately.

Diaper Cover

This is the diaper cover I started from my new pattern today. I really like the basket weave, although my stitches aren't as tight as I would like them to be. I think it's going to turn out really cute though! All I need is the edging, which will gather in the legs and give it a finished look...and buttons.
After all the OB appointments I had with my sons, I told my hubby this looks like all the uterus charts I saw every time. He just laughed.
