beware the knitter-bug

As large parts of Europe (including Italy) are gearing up 
for some extraordinarily cold days,

this is how I plan to keep myself warm and busy:

I finished knitting the second bow-tie vest for my boys this weekend 

and it looks like I have been seriously bitten by the knitter-bug,

because I have already started working on a new project!

 

This time I'm trying my hand at a set of wrap-around vests.

 I always find that they look really adorable, 

plus I was told by a truly experienced mummy

that they're incredibly handy for dressing small babies, 

so there you go...

 I haven't got a pattern, but I'm using a little T-Shirt for guidance,

and I found a very easy to follow tutorial video 

on how to increase and decrease stitches on this amazing website,

which is really helpful now that I'm trying to knit a shape with a diagonal edge...

Oh my! 

I never thought knitting for babies would be this much fun, BUT IT IS!!!

Especially since you get really quick results...

And on top of that -and this is a really good one-

you can make things as bright and happy as you like,

because you just KNOW that they won't refuse to wear it once you're done!!
