Babe in a Bag

Once again, I am in a cycle of baby knits for friends. In early February I cast on this project anticipating that it would be for a May baby; however, the recipient ended up being another cutie – baby Grady, a sweetheart of a little guy who made his debut on Valentine’s Day. In March I had the opportunity to meet baby Grady as I dropped off a gift bag and some treats for his Mom & Dad. My Sunday afternoon was delightful as Grady snuggled onto my shoulder and snoozed as I listened to his parents share the story of how he came to join their family. I was definitely smitten with this little cutie and have offered to babysit whenever they need.
What a treat to check email this week and see pictures of Grady snug in his kicking sack – I never tire of receiving pictures of babes in/on the hand knits that I’ve made for them!
This was a great project to knit & I definitely plan for more of these bags to come off my needles this year – what a fun way to use sock yarn. The details are on Ravelry.
(By the way – lovin’ the new “share” links on Ravelry that don’t require signing up to access.)
Grady looks so snuggly! I’m sure there will be cute sweaters in his future too.
ooooohhh! So cute. Nice work Amy.
What a great idea. Would not have thought of that. He is adorable! I can see why you’re smitten.
