New finished buntings...

As of Yesterday I officially finished the bereavement gown with the little twisted stitch wave pattern and all it's accessories (booties, hat and an angel - which for the record my mom made to help me finish up faster)...

Here's the UFO picture I took a few weeks ago --

a new bunting...

It shows the pattern on the skirt better than the finished picture - which happens to be this...

Done!!

It's a full term gown based on Lenore's Gown. Made on size US4 needles and in Cascade Cherub (sport weight)

I also tried Aunt B's Angel Wrap...

My 1st Angel Wrap

This was made in some acrylic or other and some fluffy white acrylic that's been floating around my mom's yarn stash for years.

I liked the outcome and how fast it was to make so much that I made a second...

My 2nd Angel Wrap

This time I made it with a double strand of red heart baby fingering for the white (which has also been floating around my mom's yarn stash forever) and some cotton lily's sugar and cream 'sugar baby' for the body.

These were all made for the Lucy Ladybug Knit-Along and finished just intime to submit my entry to Cven's contest! Yay!

those are all so beautiful. Perhaps one of these days I will learn how to crochet more than just a simple trim.

How poignant this work is. I read the poem on Lucy's site...I honestly don't know how I would feel knitting a bereavement garment for a baby. God bless you for taking on the task.
