Something new on my hook
Good morning sweeties!
What a beautiful morning to spend with you today sharing my latest crochet news 🙂
I finished some “things” for number3 I want to show you today! Tadaaaaaaaaaaaa
A sleevless jacket (or a cardigan? that’s what translator is telling me to write but I’m not sure if it is correct) and some baby boots. It is not my kind of colors, but as a first trial, I like to crochet with a plain color to try out the pattern and when it is ok, I’ll make colorful ones 😉
The cardigan is not so bad for a first attempt I must confess…but there is some changes I have to do for a better second one 😉
I love to make cardigans for babies as I think they are very practical to wear on the babies pyjamas…specially if they are sleeveless… I hate when I’m putting a sweater to my baby and I have to count how many little fingers are still left inside…I’m sure you’re understanding what I mean 🙂 So sleevless vests are the best kind of winter clothing for babies…that’s why I will make some more …
and baby boots 🙂 These also are a first attempt and I must confess that I spend a whole day crocheting and then unravelling and then crocheting again and again with sometimes feeling a little discouraged…etc etc but I kept on going …
and finally, I confess, that I don’t love them as much as I should…I have now more modifications I shall add to make them cuter 🙂 Willshow you better little baby boots very very soon 😉 I promise!
The yarn I’m using is called Nako Baby. A mixture of 50% acrylic and 50% polyamid worked with a 3mm crochet hook! It is a super super soft yarn, perfect for babies stuff and it is similar as thikness as the sylecraft special DK…
And concerning this cute owl 🙂 OHHH I fall in love with it and could not resist buying it for my baby 🙂
This is the first thing I bought for him and I love it 🙂 It is from a frensh brand (I think) called: Latitude
I enjoyed very very much crocheting these little “thingies” for my baby…and could not help myself beginning a second attempt (crossing my fingers for a better result this time)
with rainbow colors 🙂 better don’t you think?
Have to go now! Don’t forget! The giveaway is still running until monday on this post, so it you did not left a comment you can still do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
Thank you so much for visiting and for your kind words concerning my tummy 😉 My due date is between September1 n October 1…I give birth by Cesarian and For my first two it was early C-sctions (at the very beginning of month9 for my oldest Christina and on the second week of month9 for Sarah my number2) so I’m expecting it to be between sep7 and sep21 for number 3 if everything goes well 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend!

Goodmorning 🙂 The jacket is just lovely Angie and the booties so very cute. I agree though, the rainbow colours are much more you 🙂
i love the jacket and boots. the colours are great!
ravo pour cette jolie layette vitaminée!!et le petit hibou est adorable!bisous Sucrette
Your creations are so sweet! But, I know your “real” color choices will be better. I wish I had your sense of color. I keep studying yours, hoping to learn and understand them so I can do the same! I love your colors! Your boy will be so lucky to have you as a mom! Best wishes!
What a cute little vest, I am so looking forward to seeing your “real” coloured one. When I saw your little boots I was reminded of a pair that a couple of mums I know have made. The pattern and pics are over here

Hi Angie! I love your baby crochet, it is sooo cute. Your baby boy is very lucky to have such a talented mother! Oh and I´m so excited about this beautiful owl! I would have bought it too, so lovely!
All the best for you! Barbina
J’AdoOOore ces couleurs pour cet ensemble pour bébé!
Good morning Angie… I have been looking forward to seeing what you create for your baby boy…and this is sooo sweet! I love the chunky little boots… and when that little cardigan is in rainbow colours I think it will be amazing…but I love it in the orange and grey too! I hope you have a lovely weekend…. hugs, Jill x
Very cute boots, and like the little jacket. Baby boy will love that owl as is so bright and cheery. Look forward to seeing the rainbow item completed ☺
Oh it’s all so adorable and exciting. I would call your little jacket a waistcoat. I think it is a brilliant idea, so practical for a tiny one.
Very cute baby cardigan and boots .. I think the colours look good. No. 3 is certainly going to be a very well dressed bub. Enjoy your weekend. xoxox
Just adorable! The vest and booties are so sweet – PLEASE post a picture of the rainbow one! (In adult sizes – for me – LOL!)
Lovely vest and booties, your little one will be warm and cozy in the sweet crochet you have made.
Hugs to that belly of yours,
Meredith
That owl is so incredibly adorable!!! I think I’d have a hard time giving it to the little one–I’d want to keep it for myself. 😛
And your vest and booties–so sweet!!! Seriously, I can’t imagine how you think they can be improved–they’re beautiful! But I look forward to finding out. 🙂
Cute vest and booties and darlin’ owl! You are creative – an artist with yarn! Did not know you are having a boy…congratulations! I look forward to reading your blog every time you make an entry…so positive and uplifting. Becky
September is a perfect month to have a baby!! Both of my children were born in the month of September — my son was born 9/30/91 and my daughter was born 9/21/92. They are the same age for 9 days!! Woo-hoo for September babies!! <3
C’est tout simplement adorable, les couleurs sont gaies et le petit gilet sans manche est très pratique !!!
Have a nice day
Brigitte
Magnifique vraiment. Et le nouveau projet arc en ciel promets bien des choses 😉 bonne journée
What a sweet little baby set! I know what you mean about try it in plain colors, if it works try it again in bright colors. You are a true yarn artist!! Very cute set, and love the owl. Have a great weekend.
OH MY GOSH! I just fell in love with the color of your little jacket AND THE SHOES! SO SWEET! I just love them both. Adorable! Thanks for sharing your pictures!
Michelle
They look adorable. 🙂
Very cute and very practical indeed.
The colors are very little boyish.
Have a great weekend !!!! 🙂
Que cosas más lindas¡¡……que ternura……¡¡¡¡
Que tengas un lindo fin de semana….
So precious. Sleeveless cardigans are the best.
Have a lovely weekend.
I like it!
Good Morning, Angie! I do like the two-toned colors that you made already because they match some of the colors of his adorable owl! I also like the colorful vest that you started as well. Your son will look so precious in whatever you make for him! 🙂
Maggie
A wonderful baby set.
Greetings Heike
Hi Angie!
I think they are both adorable and I like the colors too. Makes me want to have another baby, but it’s too late now… 🙁 I guess I’ll have to crochet for my cousins baby instead.
N. xoxo
Oh, Angie, I think the color is nice for the little guy, the grey sets it off. I read in a book that colors are changing for the little ones. I make baby blankets for “Love in a basket” for a local church and they ask for bright colors; The church makes baskets up for young mothers and thier babies. I also crochet with the baby pastels. And I LOVE the boots, so precious! I can’t wait to see your new guy, babies are so precious. Hugs, Flo Harrington
Your vest and booties came out perfectly Angie! I love when people put “real”colours on babies instead of the boring, traditional pastels: pink for girls and blue for boys. Your little man will be very well dressed. 🙂
I like your first attempt fallish looking. The colorful one will be so sweet. RE: contest. I would love to win been wanting to try the yarn. Even if I do win or not I just want to say thank you for sharing your talent with us and allowing us to be a part of your life, both the highs and lows. As I read your blog I am amazed that even though you live in another country we all are not so different, sure many of us speak a different language. we all speak crochet and that makes the world and it problems small. Your children and new little one coming are blessed to have a beautiful and talented mommy. Thank you for the bright cheery colorful peek into your conor of the world,
Bonjour Angie,
Pouvez-vous s’il vous plaît nous faire partager les explications pour cet adorable ensemble pour bébé ?
Il a une naissance dans ma famille ces jours ci et ça me ferait plaisir de réaliser ce petit ensemble pour ma petite nièce
MUCHO COLOR. MUCHA ALEGRIA, QUE BELLO QUE TE QUEDO
BESOS ANNY
Hi Angie, love the wee boots! so so cute and matching vest , it looks very cozy! your wee man will look so cute! goodluck! sue~nz
I love the little vest with the matching bootees. They look great & I love the colours you used.
Your little one will definitely be one smart looking baby with all of the great things you’re making.
bonjour, ravisant cette ensemble crochet j’aime bcp cette assiociation de couleurs, coordonné à l’hibou …. sinon voici un lien en tricot des baskets http://www.bab-la-bricoleuse.net/2010/08/petits-chaussons-baskets/
I love the vest and booties! They match the cute little owl! I think you should add the lime green into the mix! I think your rainbow design will be great, too! Happy day!
BLESSINGS,’
Susie
Adorable! Good luck with the new little one. What a blessing!!
I too have had so much trouble making booties, but I finally found a pattern I like and can whip up really quickly, http://wp.me/p1FFZb-fz. I love the little vest, I’ve never crocheted clothes but knitted many I must give crochet clothes ago. I can’t wait to see what colorful piece you are working on now. xx
Is so pretty…Greetings!!!
For a first atttempt it is looking great!!
Oh how lovely! Those booties are awsome. I’m sure he’s gonna love it all…specially that owl 🙂 It might become his best pal, who knows. 🙂
It’s very, very pretty! Your son will look very handsome wearing them. Good luck with yr pregnancy. My daughter was right on time, but my son was 2 1/2 months premature. He’ s a handsome and healthy 14 years old now and I’m sure your baby will be very lucky with so many beautiful things you make for him. 🙂 I have just started blogging about a month ago and I love your blog. Thanks for keeping us inspired! 🙂
It’s so sweet and fun buying things for a baby. The best though is making things yourself. I didn’t know how to crochet before I had all of my kids but I at least have been able to make blankets and some toys! I’m so excited for you!
Lovely little vest and I agree with you 100%. I prefer them without sleeves as well. My second oldest son was born in September. It’s a great month for babies. Although after that I decided no more being pregnant during the long hot summer. UGH!
