the blue blog archives: everything's better in red

I do believe I like the hugs and kisses sweater (officially "Tea for Two" from Louisa Harding's Miss Bea's Rainy Day) even more in red.

Oh, does she get cuter with every minute, or what? Love the sweater, love the hat!

How are the boys doin' with a new girl in the house?

Look at those big eyes! So cute.

Wee one looks cute in any colour!

I would be tempted to alternate the x's and o's in that sweater and make it a noughts and crosses (or tic tac toe as you would probably call it) sweater, or would that require too much attention?

Oh, and the knitting is great too. :-)

Awww, cuteness is just oozing from your blog these days! It makes me want to go visit my cute little grandbaby even more, if that is possible!

She's just precious!

I know you must hear it all the time, but she is SO adorable!

Everybody in the house go Awwww!

Thanks for the baby fix! And the knitting fix too!

Are the boys as foolish over her as we are? ;)

Omg, that was way too much cuteness for one post!

Red is sooooo much better than pink, imho. My favorite color. And wee one? I just want to snorgle her until she giggles.

What a sweetie! And I love the sweater, too.

What a darling girl in such a cute hat! That "Miss Bea's Rainy Day" book is a real gem.

She is just so sweet in her knitted finery. Oh those wee ones. Side note: I am so looking forward to sockapalooza!

Posted by: Sonya at March 26, 2007 1:22 PM

Baby and sweater are adorable! Where are you finding so much knitting time, Mom of Three??? I'm so impressed.

Wow! Those cables really pop in red! What yarn are you using? And wee one looks adorable in her red Cadenza hat. I'm trying to decide what to make with the Cadenza I bought. I had thought hats for darling granddaughter but she really hates wearing them & besides has so many from my leftover sock yarn that she really doesn't need more. I'm thinking a thick double layer winter hat for adorable grandson (& middle child). Both boys have down coats & vests from LL Bean - khaki reversing to a brilliant red & orange print. The Fire colorway of the Cadenza should look great (he's pretty much outgrown his but will inherit his older brother's for next year). And, if baby L is still fussy in a few months, you could try a jumperoo. An internet friend who lives in a nearby suburb lent one to DD & baby M actually spent an entire hour happily jumping away in it while daddy watched a movie. Guess what the Easter Bunny is bringing baby M?

Oh BABY! Live sweater models are ever so much better to look at than stuffed animals wearing the same thing. She's adorable and you are all very lucky. How are the boys doing?

Adorable baby! Too cute. =D

Posted by: Elinor at March 26, 2007 6:40 PM

Oh the cuteness! Can't turn away from the cuteness. The hat is fabulous.

Posted by: Karen at March 26, 2007 10:31 PM

So sweet! You've inspired me to want to make tons of cute hats for my little one on the way... :)

Posted by: Vanessa at March 27, 2007 12:08 AM
