KOOLHASS BABY STYLE

All Finished, I must say how addicted I am to making this hat. Of course it may have something to do with how cute it is when made for wee little man.

How cute is this little guy?

As in previous posts this is a Brooklyn Tweed Design I used a 4 ply yarn and changed needles to suit.

Baby Koolhaas

My wool store is closing down, it is so handy to me and the owner is great too. She is so helpful and I have learnt alot from her. I will miss going there and chatting, it is a little harder these days as I have Carter to think about. He is a light sleeper and will sleep in pram but if it stops hello high beams are on.

So I knew if I had a boy he had to have a matching beanie to dad's Koolhaas hat by Jared Flood of Brookyln Tweed 

I first thought I had to adapt the pattern because his head being smaller, I only cast on 88 stitches, pattern called for more.

He looked too cute so had to take some photos, then I realised that I could probably cast on the same amount of stitches because I was only using a 4 ply and I was using smaller needles also.

I then spoke with Michele (my knit pro) and she suggested that I could also use a slightly bigger needle. so I unravelled my work and started again. The new beanie I am working on will fit for much longer as I can get it on my head. ( I have a small head ) Anyway when I have finished I will post the photos.

Thank You Cards

I wanted to make some thank you cards that were different, so I came up with an idea that Carter could wear a onesie that said it all.

I used this image and we got them made into postcards.

We did think about doing cards and having this on the back.

I used word for the lettering which I traced on thick card,

 and stencilled on with a permanent marker. 

I took so many photos it was hard to choose.

It's a boy!

Well he arrived on his own, right on the due date. 

Introducing Carter - born on 13th October 2012, I just think he is  adorable.

He is a happy, contented baby.

He weighted in at 3.9kgs and was 56cm long.

Jakob came to meet his little brother this week, how cute are they both?
