At some point I’ll get tired of knitting for this kid and start wanting to knit for myself again, right? There will certainly be breaks to knit chickens, but I’m not feeling a slowdown yet on the urge to knit for the baby girl.

(And don’t cry for Thumper. I finished a placket-neck pullover for him a couple weeks ago–a sweater he requested in a color he chose–and he rejected it because it’s “too big.” Okay…so I made it with some room to grow. But not an outrageous amount of room to grow. Hopefully it will fit him in the fall in a manner he considers acceptable. I couldn’t even get him to wear it for a photo. Still holding out hope for that much soon.)

So for now, baby knits. Lots of ’em. Here are the latest two sweaters finished for her:

A Baby Yoda, and a Placket-Neck Pullover:

I used Lamb’s Pride Superwash for the Baby Yoda, and modified the pattern to be knit in one piece with raglan sleeves. I swapped out the interior i-cords for crochet chains to reduce the bulk. Yes, I’m the one who designed the thing in pieces and with interior i-cords in the first place, but hey… That was four years ago. We grow. We evolve. Etc.

The pullover is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran that’s been in the stash forEVER. Except for the Tree Hugger set, I’ve only used stash yarn for all this baby knitting, and that’s feeling damn good. That might be doing something to fuel all the baby knitting, now that I think of it. These little garments are eating through a certain section of the stash (superwashes and the softest luxury fiber stuff) at a very pleasing rate.

Next up? I’ve just finished a sweet little pair of pink legwarmers and am now working up the matching hat using Zen Garden sock yarn from the stash. Photos soon, maybe even on a real live squirmy baby girl!
