Baby R's Little Blue Dress

This is little Miss Ramona sporting her lovely woolly, denim-blue dress! She is 5 months old already...where did the time go??!!

I found this pattern on Lion Brand Yarn's website: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/81021AD.html?noImages=
The only real modification I made to the pattern was extending the length of the dress straps, so it will fit her longer. It's a bit on the large side right now, but with the extended straps, she should be able to sport it as a cute top for several months to come!!

Made with a basic Garter & Stockinette stitch...this dress looks adorable on her!

Love those leggings!!

Here's looking at you, kid!!

Will the Paparazzi please stand back?!

Ramona's Halloween Frog Suit!!

This is Ramona...age (almost 4 mos.), currently enjoying her new Froggy Suit fitting!!

 

Momma Tonya is showing her off for all to see!!

Warty arms indeed! Nothing stops this baby from being adorable!! Especially the darling little fly on her shoe :)

A "barf bib" was asked for...just in case one of those "need it now" moments were to occur, you know?!

She's thinking about it! Does the blue really go "with" the rest of the ensemble??

I can't say enough how much fun it was to create this outfit, but more so, how wonderful & fulfilling it was to see baby R all dressed up!! She was the quintessential model, and is always a beyond adorable companion!! Just look at those lashes!! :)

I once again must thank Ravelry.com for being such a welcome and wonderful inspiration to me & my knitting! With out that community of knitters from all aspects of talent range & worldwide regions...I would never be the knitter I feel I have developed in to today!! Also, if you have a little one in your life & feel a need to clothe them, especially as something fun for Halloween & such, I highly suggest the book: "Wacky Baby Knits"!! This Frog Suit can be found there, on Ravelry.com, as well as listed on Etsy.com.

I couldn't be more pleased with the final project, but most importantly, neither could my sister...the mother of little Ramona! She was so blown away by the whole ensemble...booties to match, with barf bib & all!! It was a challenge to say the least, but a success in so many ways!! Happy Halloween everyone :)

Baby Ramona is Here!!

These are just a few images of my sister Tonya, her husband Jerry, and the new, little Ramona! I've been knitting up a storm since I first found out she was coming, and now she's here...Hooray!! I think she definitely has "Tonya qualities" to her face already...so adorable!!
As far as my knitting goes, there are a few projects that I need to post, but don't have them quite perfected yet...and an adorable baby bunting for R that is nearing completion...I call it her Rosebud Bunting!! She will look so snuggley and comfy in it - I'm dying to take pictures of the little one sporting it, that is, as soon as I can complete the project. The pattern is all lacing, which isn't too difficult, just very time consuming. And though I can knit at work and at home, I find myself lacking in the motivation department at times. But no more procrastinating...I've got a baby to clothe :)
