Holy Tomatoes, Batman!
I haven't had the oppotunity to knit baby clothing. Last week however, I found out that my friend and his wife had a baby girl 7 weeks premature. Mum and bub are healthy and doing well. This baby girl is really special as her lovely parents have waited many years to hold her in their arms and ironically, she couldn't wait to meet them too! So I thought it would be perfect to knit her something equally special.
My friend's wife is Italian and so I've knitted with a stereotypical Italian theme - Tomatoes! First, a little Tomato Beanie to keep her head warm this winter.

Then adorable Saartje's Bootees (pdf) to keep her little toes warm.

Together, they make a very cute gift set! Carino!
P.S. I've also completed a few more knitted objects. Not as blogworthy as the tomatoes though -
Fourteen #4 for sis-in-law, a pair of red tweed handwarmers for me, a pair of leaf bookmarks and fuzzy slippers for my mum-in-law, and a razor shell neckwarmer for my neighbour.
