Slightly related to my last post - a couple I know is having twins next week! A few months ago I had asked the mother if she knew the gender of the babies yet; she replied that they knew but didn’t feel that they wanted to share that information until the babies were born. A sensible position I say, since people will then make a sincere effort to give gender-neutral baby gifts.

So I made these for the two little ones:

Baby booties in the sunshine, before delivery.

I think I am starting to get to that age where everyone around me is either having babies or talking about them. I’m still more of a kitten / puppy person myself, I have to say - why no kitten showers or puppy bjorns? Some babies are pretty cute, though, and they are generally a lot more cooperative than their animal counterparts when it comes to wearing knitted gifts!
