Wee Baby Stuff

Teddy spent most of last summer dressed like an extra from The Great Gatsby. He wore white linen pants and a white linen shirt and if I could have gotten a straw hat to stay jammed on his head I would have been a very happy girl. Why?  Because Vintage is cool (and Linen is surprisingly easy-care.) So you'll get why I'm all swooney about this new book,

Vintage Baby Knits by Kristen Rengren has 40(!) Heirloom Patterns from the 1920's to the 1950's. They range from simple to not so simple but they're all pretty and delightfully nostalgic.

I think the book would make a lovely gift to expectant mamas or expectant grammies who are clever with the pointy sticks. Find it at PurlSoho for $27.50

I've recently acquired a major crochet addiction (thanks to our very own DIY Maven) and can see myself doing some pattern-hacking.
