A new WIP

Late last week Chantal gave us the date for Jessey's christening . It will be on Mother's day May 10th , in the afternoon. She asked me if I could knit an outfit for him , hoping that I had enough time to also knit one for her BF Monika's baby who's also being christened that day . No pressure there , six weeks to knit two outfits ! I wouldn't normally consider knitting the second outfit , but Monika will be Jessey's godmother .




Here's what we decided upon , the jacket , pants and a hat , knit in a fine white cotton . This is how much I got done after about 10 hours or so of knitting this weekend . I'm just about at the yoke and will cast on for the first sleeve today . It's pretty much all knit on 2,oo /2,5 mm circulars . At least there won't be a lot of sewing /finishing when the knitting is completed .





The plan is to have the jacket done this week with the pants at least cast on . In between I'll also be working on the green baby sweater , just to get a break from white cotton . Keeping fingers crossed that all goes as planned with this special knit project ...
