Beatrice for Summer

Even though I have not been blogging, I have been knitting.
Not much.
A friend of ours is pregnant and her daughter Summer is expected to arrive tomorrow.
I started this little cardigan mid June. Beatrice is by Jane Ellison and is published in the Mirasol book 4.
I used the suggested Mirasol Samp'a yarn.
The yarn is a 100% organic cotton DK yarn.
The yarn is lovely to knit with, but I did not think it was very different from other organic cotton yarns.
I knitted the smallest size, 0-1 years.
I actually think 6-12 months is a more accurate sizing.
Somehow blogger or our computer is not happy with the rotated photos today. I uploaded and deleted them a few times but still they won't behave.
Miss T is doing well. She has started to go to bed later and I get even less knitting time.
Now we are waiting for Summer to arrive. Miss T and I will go out soon and get a card and maybe even a balloon. She loves balloons.

PS: Summer arrived today 31. July at 11.54am weighing in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces.
Congratulations to Virginia, Geoff and big brother James.

Oh the little cardigan is very pretty. I wish children would go to be bed early, Isabelle always has something to do when it is bedtime and then is cranky the next day from lack of sleep.
