Baby Things

My sister Emily had her first baby 3 weeks ago! His name is Heath and he is adorable. I can't tell you how excited we have been around here. During Emily's pregnancy, I was just itching to make baby things. In the wintertime, I knitted him a hat and some booties and Em put a picture of Heath wearing them on her blog. She's getting lots of cute pictures of him with her fancy camera! I made this pic my desktop wallpaper.
And then I had to make this.
It's my first sweater and my first time changing colors and doing buttonholes and a few other things I didn't know I could do. It was an experiment & there are a lot of mistakes, but I love how it turned out. So soft. I just can't wait to meet him in person and snuggle him up and smell his hair. I only feel a little bad that he's a summer baby with absolutely no use for knitted hats, booties, and sweaters. I had so much fun making them and loving Heath the whole time.
