The amount of baby knitting going on over here has been unbelievable! And not just for me! It seems like almost everyone we know is busy baking buns. So this is going to be a big FO parade:

Baby Earflap Hat for Baby C (another baby C)

(this was overdue by like oh, 6 months. At least the baby was born in June couldn't wear it anyway)

Denver Baby Sweater for Baby F

This was made entirely from yarn scraps in my leftovers bowl. I see lots of "leftover" sweaters in my future....

Quickie Boy Sweater for Baby C (yet another baby C)

This might be my favorite pattern of all time - it really is super, SUPER fast.

Baby Surprise Sweater for Baby K

When I gave this gift at a friend's baby shower, I was getting grilled about when DH and I would be trying for a little one. A few weeks earlier, my MIL and SIL were at a baby shower and their gift was the 7th one opened, which is supposed to indicate that family would be the next to have a baby. Since SIL is 22 and not married yet, they all were sure it was me. Well, strangely enough it WAS me, but we weren't breaking the news yet. So this came up over and over at this shower, and I just had to laugh and pretend to sip my mimosa (which was really just OJ)

And finally, I did knit a little something for Baby Bean.

Felted Tweed Daisy, For Baby WnN

Since Baby Bean is due in June, s/he will obviously not be covered in handknits for awhile, so this is 6-9 month size.

I'm working on a few other things for the Bean, including a baby blanket and stripey sweater. Since we don't know the gender I'm using a lot of green and brown, which I would probably continue to so anyway. I've abandoned quite a few other projects in lieu of baby knitting, so this kid is going to be well covered.
