Baby Knickers!

I had some fun doing some cross stitch samples today, certainly easier on the thumb than needlepoint. It is still a bit tender after yesterday.

I also managed to clear some stash!!!

No, I haven't stitched it, someone on freecycle was looking for some threads etc for cross stitch. I had a container of anchor threads, some charts and freebies from magazines I was able to give her. It was lovely to be able to send them all to a good home.

This evening, I turned my attention to the baby set. I knit the other mitten and sewed them up and then started on the bootees.

The boys came in whilst I was in the middle of knitting the bootee, so I lifted it up to show them progress. "Baby knickers!" exclaimed J. When I turned the needles round to have a look, I can see what he meant.

It didn't look that way once the knitting was completed and sewn up. Now I just have to hope that I have enough yarn to do the second one.
This is D showing what the baby will look like with the bonnet, bolero and mitts on. He is adding the bootees tomorrow. How unnatural does that look!
