Anyone else crocheting for their coming baby?

[goofy]

I don't ask I just know it works. And when it dries you can not smell the urine at all! It has something to do with the properties of the wool and the lanolin.

Hi Iam making some things for my sisters friends teenage children who are expecting, well one has had hers about 10 days ago and it was a girl the other is a boy nad due in October.

 

I made a pink and cream RR still waiting for my sister to email me the photo.

 

Started a blue and cream blanket, but not getting on with the pattern so gonna frog it and pick another pattern.

 

I would like to make a hat and jacket for each baby as well, but have never made clothing so a bit nervous about making them.

 

Have a really nice book with baby crochet in so will have a look through that.

[Chained and Hooked]

I can never sleep when I'm pregnant, so I've started crocheting for Frances while I'm up at night. I sure wish I had started sooner~I'd have SO MUCH DONE!!! Anyway, I've done this hat and these booties in SS pink, and in RH pink camo this hat for Frances, Hazel, and myself (SO SORRY this cute, CUTE hat is not showing up! Thankfully I printed off the pattern a good while ago...). I hope to do this bunting in both yarns, and maybe another such ensemble in purple. I'll share pics when I'm done and hope if you're doing the same you will too! (((((HUGS))))) sandi

 

OH~and I HAFTA do this lacy bonnet in pink, too!

Hey girl!!!!

Every time I tried crocheting for my son before he was born, I never liked it and would rip it out. Maybe this time I'll get something done before this one is born.

[Titus2woman]

When are you due, Mandii? You'll just hafta keep going NO MATTER WHAT! The first bunting I did will only fit about a day I'm thinkin'~it's sooo teeny! OH~and *CONGRATULATIONS!* ~smile~ (((((HUGS))))) sandi

[goofy]

Sandi~they are looking good! I like the soakers! I wish I had three of them made

 

Hey mandi! Welcome!

 

I have the second baby leg cast on and the ribbing almost done. They go so fast! I got this pattern off of ravelry. If you want it let me know and I'll post the link. It says it should fit newborn on up and can be made longer or shorter very easily.

[Mandii]

I'm due January 30th, but I can't seem to bring myself to make anything at all for my own baby, just everyone elses...

[goofy]

Mandi I didn't realize that was when you were due. You should go early....say Jan 21. Then the baby could share its b-day with my dd.

 

You should defenitly make your baby a blanket. I think they are a must. then they atleast have one keepsake from you. My son has that and a baby bonnet. My daughter has a bunch of things. My son has since gotten other things that I have made for him as he has gotten older but I don't know if he will keep them or not.

[Mandii]

Brenda, my son has a bunch of handmade things from his great grandmother, a blanket, the sweater and hat he wore home from the hospital...he loves all his blankets dearly, he's getting one from me for Christmas. I just have a hard time picking up my hook for this new baby.

[goofy]

Ya I think those darn kids can sense the love that was put into those things.

 

Maybe its because you can't see the baby yet. Maybe it will help to have your ultrasound and see the little one that way. Otherwise it won't be that bad to wait untill it is here.

[Mandii]

Well my ultrasound is Tuesday. I had one at 10 weeks, but I guess it just never sunk in.

[Skye.crochet]

I'm crocheting for my future grandson who will be born in Jan 2010. I never had the chance to crochet for my son. I didn't know how, and my ex-husband wouldn't let me get the supplies if I did know how!

 

I've made the following so far and I keep adding:

3 piece outfit

kniffty knitter hat

two afghans

Turtle rattle found in crochetville's free original patterns

 

 

In progress or future

Puppy

binky holder

Teddy bear

 

Got to get back to puppy

 

Kristina

[goofy]

Kristina~those sound really nice Do you have pics to share?

[Titus2woman]

Kristina, I'd love to see your treasures, too! Brenda, I can't knit, so I don't think your pretty pattern will serve but for drooling~LOL! (((((HUGS))))) sandi

[goofy]

You know I don't know if there is a pattern out there for crocheted baby legs. Couldn't be that hard to do though.

 

I will post another pic when they are finished so you can drool some more than.

[goofy]

I finally got past the ribbing on the longies! Starting to look like it might just fit DD

 

i am also past the ribbing on the baby legs....I take them with to work so they are going slow. If I decide I need them I could have them done in an evening.

 

I am also slowly doing the border on the pink patchwork afghan. I should really put some time in on that and just finish it up. The border is so boring though.

[goofy]

how is everyone else doing on their projects?

[Titus2woman]

I'm pluggin' along! I had to stop the kimono wrap until I get more yarn, so I've started another bunting. I'm also getting ready to make this hat from Lion Brand with a really, really LUSCIOUS yarn that an e-friend sent me! ~Hopefully I'll have enough for some booties too~ (((((HUGS))))) sandi

[goofy]

I like that hat. Can't wait to see yours

[Titus2woman]

You might hafta wait a bit~I have slowed down! *I think* I have a touch of carpal tunnel. AND I keep starting new projects~LOL! I started an acrylic turdle wrap after washing one of my son's hats, as it felt totally dry straight out of the spin cycle! I still LOVE the different soakers, but I like the idea of them fitting longer. The idea of all that time on one that won't last very long keeps me from trying my hand, even though I am interested....

 

I know I have seen some crochet baby legs... Found it! http://hooked-on-crochet.blogspot.com/2008/01/livie-legs-free-original-pattern.html I would like to make some of these.... (ETA I'm wondering how to size 'em for a newborn?) (((((HUGS))))) sandi

[Titus2woman]

The hat is finished! and I even had enough yarn for matching booties~I am just THRILLED with this little set! (((((HUGS))))) sandi

 

ETA real pic!

 

The yarn is from Springtree Road, here is the hat pattern, and the same Mary Jane's I love so much!

[Mandii]

I'm having a boy! So now to figure out what to make for him....
