Great article, I know that making something by hand for a grandchild is very special.

How wonderful that you now have a grandbaby or as you said a personal focus for your knitting. I love that phrase. Thanks for stopping by. Oh and I love merino yarn too. Susan

I totally agree with the article. I am an avid knitter and the last few years have mostly knit baby jackets, shawls. With the arrival of my first grandbaby I now have a personal focus for my projects. There are so many awesome, very tempting patterns available. I now have a large collections of patterns and particularly like creating garments in 4ply merino.

You know, I can really relate to that. When my nieces were little I enjoyed making them matching sweaters but even with that I would get bored sometimes. After not knitting for a few years because of being in RT school, I went back and had an extra bedroom dresser drawer full of yarn of all kinds so I figured knitting some baby things and hygiene packs for humanitarian groups, not to mention stocking the family up this year in gloves, scarves, caps, and houseshoes would be a good way to while away the hours I sit up (nightshifter) while everyone else is asleep. THEN, when they started training me in the NICU it was a whole new world of things to knit, patterns and yarns to enjoy, and knowing that the little projects I knit to amuse me really are needed and will be used either in the NICU or by Moms who need the extra blankets, clothes, and hats. it’s a really wonderful little world that’s opened a big section of my heart I didn’t even know was there.

This is one of my favorite passtimes while waiting at my son’s practices. If you love to knit but don’t have any babies around, think about donating to a hospital or shelter who are always on the lookout for such things.

I love knitting but I don’t have the time or patience to knit many adult clothes.

Knitting baby clothes is an ideal way to practice new techniques with quick results and you always have a personalised present for baby showers!
