Baby's Here and Onesie is Done

Baby Riley was born last Saturday, May 30, at 3:30 p.m. And I think it was two days later that I finished knitting this onesie I've been working on. It's a size 0-3 months, but I think it will be closer to the 3 month age before it will fit her.
I used "Peter Pan" double knit yarn, soft blend. It's part nylon and part acrylic and feels so nice. I used a size 3 needle and since I don't knit that fast it took a little while.
I've started little booties that will match and then they will button onto the cuffs so that they don't fall off.
I hope it fits eventually. If not, I'll frame it just because it's so cute.
Check out the baby pictures on my other site.

  4. I've got to tell you, Nina...I just read your profile and you sound so much like me. I don't have any grandchildren yet...but I too like to be known as a nurturer and I am organized too! I get much joy from making our home be the soft place for everyone to land. My husband and I will have been married 29 years this August, too! I have a niece, Riley and my maiden name is actually Logan...no Landens yet, haha. See you soon...Carrie
