Keeping Warm

Back in May I decided to make the sleeping bag illustrated on this page of my baby book, to keep Dylan warm in his cot. I figured that it would be finished in time for the more chilly Autumn days to come. I chose red because it looks warmer than blue.

It does look warm doesn't it!

Baby's sleeping bag

This is my current project - a sleeping bag for a baby.  I've chosen Christmassy colours because it seemed appropriate for the time of year.  Red always makes me feel warm so hopefully it will have the same effect on baby.

The wool I'm using is a double-knit (Worsted in America) and two colours, red and white with just a hint of brown. English needle sizes 10 and 7 so it will knit up quite loose.

So, a nice way to spend the winter evenings.  When the snow is gone I shall go to town and buy a 20 inch zip to put down the front.
