The very first knitting I finished for Eva was this pilot cap and these little booties.  It was actually my road trip knitting from our trip to Idaho in June.  I intended for them to be the first thing we put on her after she was all dried off from being born, but the hat ended up being too big for a fresh newborn.

It fits great now, at 2 1/2 months.   On our way out the door to go grocery shopping yesterday I snapped a couple of quick photos of it in use.

The booties, on the other hand, are almost too small now.  They’ve seen a whole lot of use.  I love booties that tie on because they STAY on.  Socks just never do the trick.  These have been in constant rotation since the day she was born, along with the pink booties I ended up knitting to be her very first.  (You can see them in this post.)

I used the Lil’ Midi Bean pilot cap pattern (found through Ravelry, of course) .  The booties  are Christine’s Baby Booties which is such a wonderfully simple pattern I think I could do it from memory now.  The yarn is a bamboo/silk/merino blend made by Crystal Palace that is so soft.

I guess you’d say I’m in the knitting mood.  I have my green Febraury Lady Sweater nearly done! (I’ve been working on it since January.)  Hopefully it will make it on the blog soon.
