We had a baby shower this weekend at church and although I didn't stay (family time prempts a baby shower for someone I don't know) I did make a cute gift for the new baby. I wanted to share what I did.I made a diaper "cake", this is such a fun easy thing to do. I was given one when Elisabeth was born, and I just think it is so cute.
Also, I made a pair of baby socks. I used this pattern, they are done in Knitpicks Dancing yarn (Swing colorway, which is no longer available, unfortunately) on US size 1 (2.25 mm) needles. The pattern is very well written and wonderfully quick to knit
. Here they are next to my coffee cup for scale...so cute! Also, I placed them on top of the "cake" for gifting.That's it for now...oh yeah, keep your eyes on the tropics, we may be bracing for a storm this week.
OK off to read some more 18th century British lit :)

I *LOVE* the diaper cake idea!!!!
That cake is such a fab idea - never seen it before! Thanks for sharing.
Love the sox too - and sympathies for the morning sickness.
