Won't You Be My Teddy Bear

Before everyone and their sister had digital cameras I used to send my film to Walmart and they had a deal with AOL to put the pictures on the web and you could go look at your "You got pictures".  I'd totally forgotten about them after we'd gotten a digital camera.  Well I clicked on the button by accident on my AOL browser and look what I found!

This is Joseph at about seven months old.  I wish you could see the whole outfit.  It's from Debbie Bliss's Nursery Knits.  The hat is underneath was probably just a little plain vanilla in-the-round pattern (I made a lot of them for the boys when they were little) and the shawl is the beginning of the Elizabeth Zimmermann's Stonington Shawl from Knitting Workshop.

I also keep forgetting to mention that a photo I sent in to Knitter's over a year ago finally made it into the Fall 2005 issue (Where In The World section).  It's a group shot of everyone that went on the Mull Island Spinning Retreat in Scotland a year and a half ago.  That's where I met Nilda and several other awesome knitters and spinners.  You can read more about that trip back in my archives.

Hi there, visiting through Knit-together. Your baby looks ever so cute with the bear hat. Do you mean the bear hat has an outfit too and they are all in Nursery knits? I am pregnant with my third and just started crocheting and I would love to try some knitting too. Is Nursery Knits suitable for beginners? Do you recommend it? Thanks a lot Esther

Hope your holiday was good. I know it's hard when a loved one is serving. How's the new puppy?
