Knitted Excess

There may have been some comments from a good friend that my daughter wears too many knitted items. So, to celebrate true friendship (Hi!Raj!) I present to you the Knitted Sweaters of Claire.

This collection features only the sweaters, actually not even ALL the sweaters, as some she has outgrown. In particular there was the gorgeous crochet sweater from Suzy that I so wish I had photographed (Suzy, she wore it often this summer with a cute little summer dress that matched it perfectly!) Her wardrobe also includes hats, booties, pull-overs and mitts. Of course. oh, and 4 baby blankets. I actually have 8 hand-knit baby blankets in my house. EIGHT. My family says “I love you” by knitting, clearly.
And in honour of the knitting, the observant of you may have noticed a new sweater in her wardrobe in the previous post. We couldn’t go into the Fall without a true Fall Sweater now, could we? The fall just screams sweaters, and so a sweater was to be had.

This is Baby’s First Coat from Debbie Bliss’s Essential Baby knit with Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino that I found on sale several months ago. I started this sweater when Claire was first born and miraculously finished it in time for both the season and before she out-grew it. I really love the little maple leaf buttons!
I should also take a moment to note here that my little girl totally rocks. She smiled and giggled through the entire process of putting on the sweaters and being photographed. How’s that for a little trooper?! She just cut her first tooth, too, so she had every right to be miserable if she wanted to be.
