I started by the brassiere raglan (I have some cute teddy bear buttons arriving soon!). It was also an opportunity to de-stash some sock yarn (as I don't actually knit any socks, I had to use it for something else).
I am knitting in 3mm, which is rather small for me but I think I can handle it considering Baby MiH size. I have made a couple of modifications already - ribbing edge and stripes (inspired by this one). There are some other projects in the book that are just too cute - classy and timeless (well intemporels, like the name of the book suggests)
My first ever jumper for Baby MiH, so far so good.
But I am dreading the construction already - some serious internet research will have to happen!
I loved making little garments for my boys when they were little! You'll have no trouble with the construction- it is very satisfying to achieve. The wool you are using is perfect for your little man!
ReplyDeleteI am also getting back into the groove of knitting baby items. My sister is due in about a month and a half, and that does not leave me a lot of time. I always love seeing what knitting patterns and books are available and popular in Europe, thanks for this one.
ReplyDeleteIt will be darling. You can do this!
ReplyDeletelove your choice in yarns and the pattern they will create - very effective
ReplyDeleteI loved the handmade knits I received for my son. I do so wish I could knit. I may have to try again later in the year. I know your makes will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI used to knit for my children all the time until they got to be teenagers and didn't home made clothes any more! The book you've selected looks adorable. I really think you can't beat french design for stylishness :)
ReplyDeleteI love the patterns and the yarn choice and can't wait to see them grow!
ReplyDeleteCute patterns for your boy!
