I have been silent for a bit now, but for good reason. I gave birth to a little baby boy on September 21st. J. was born at 35 weeks, and luckily, he is doing wonderfully!

Jonah at 1 week.

I made these brown wool/cotton knit pants when I was pregnant with Hazel. I knit the hat a few months ago when I was first put on modified bed rest, and I put a doggie patch on the back of this shirt. The blanket was made using fabric by Alexander Henry.
Here are some photos with Jonah and his proud big sister:


I made this cardigan when I was pregnant with Hazel. This was the sweater I was working on when my water broke at 30 weeks while I was at a conference in LA. The pattern is from Knitting for Two by Erika Knight. Strangely enough, I was working on another pattern from this same book when I went into pre-term labor this go around too. If I ever get pregnant again, I think I’ll avoid picking this book up!

Glad to see you’re all doing well! What a cutie — and how lucky is he to have such a talented mama!
Congratulations and your children are beautiful. I think you would do well to avoid the book in the future or maybe they can change the title to Knitting for Three.
Congratulations on beautiful Jonah. You are blessed with 2 beautiful children. Be well!
What beautiful gorgeous children you have. It seems his big sister is already in love with him. I have knit the same cardigan from the Erika Knight book too, for a friend, and it always turns out nicely. Yours looks great.
