With each baby, I've crocheted a baptismal gown. Since learning how to knit, I decided to go outside my comfort zone and knit a baptismal gown for our newest little one. To me, each stitch is a little prayer for this little soul. It comforts me in my anxiety during pregnancy.
This is the beginning of the gown starting from the waist going toward the feet. The pattern is "Ribbons and Lace Christening Gown". The author has been so helpful in answering my beginner questions.
The picket edging is almost complete. I'm so excited. With the weather turning colder, my running hat is beckoning to be finished and a new sweater for me is waiting to be cast on.
At our local yarn shop, they offer different classes. My husband is urging me to sign up since I will be in 'baby' mode starting in June. Now is the time to get some Mommy alone time in.
The kids and I have been reading "Angel in the Waters" by Regina Doman.

What a precious heirloom for each of your children to have some day. And, what a sweet husband for encouraging you to take a class for some Mommy-alone time! Merry Christmas!
