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.

wow that is alot of knit! Clearly she loves it though! I love the one of her waving…I think she might even be waving to Raj!
So. Freakin’. Adorable.
Love it! And wish I had that kind of talent! Or even a tenth of those sweaters!
Very Cute. I was going to mail you back the one you made for N but it seems as though you have enough and I will pass it on to my youngest sisters little girl due in a few months.
Oh my God!! Just when you think she cannot be cuter….she is. She has been the best baby, almost ever. Callum still holds the title!
However, he has some competition for the cutest baby ever!! Still the cutest little boy ever!
She is very lucky to have so many people who show their love for her, by knitting.
yeah, I don’t need any more sweaters! Give it to your soon-to-arrive niece!
She is so cute.
Congrats on the tooth! Big milestone!
Also, there is no such thing as “too many” knitted items. It is awesome that you have such talent (and finding the time is a talent, too) and such generous friends. Love the collage!
In my opinion, one can never have too many knitted things! They are beautiful and so is your babe!
The maple leaf buttons are the perfect finishing touch. Aren’t you proud of yourself?!
I’m so glad you and Claire enjoyed that little jacket. I thought it was just precious – wearable art!
