A Hooky Present


My lovely friend Nat is due her second little boy in three weeks time.
Her colour theme for the nursery ( well, clothes storage room really , as she co-sleeps!) is teal and grey.
I was in a real quandry as to what to make this bundle of joy.  A ripple blanket in grey and teal?  Well I bought the yarn, started the intial chain and decided it just wasn't quite right.
A cot mobile? no, he will never be in there anyway!
A hat and booties for when baby is in the sling? erm, not sure.
Baby leg warmers for when he's slung? - still might do!

Here is what I went with in the end:-


Excuse the awful hanging space for the photo!  We are decked with multiple Halloween bunting and decs at the moment so I couldn't hang them on the fireplace!



I'm hoping it'll look lovely with her nursey and that she loves them.  I certainly do :-)

This is her nursery wall art so I'm hopeful they'll go great:-



So now this little project is finished , onto the next things that have been burning a hole in my creative pocket:-
*  knitting a scarf for Gaz
*  Crocheting wrist warmers for myself :-
*   Finishing the forever blanket?
