...W.I.P. Wednesday...a little baby boy...

...our next door neighbors are expecting a little baby boy soon...

...so I went through my stash...and found this huge skein of pretty soft blue speckled baby yarn in a box with a previously made little boy blue hat...and another smaller skein of the same yarn...

...I'm pretty sure this was in the bag of yarn that Mom gave me a few years ago that she'd gotten from a friend of hers...and I'm happy to use it up...and when I say it's huge I mean it...it's over a foot across...

...so I just knit a receiving blanket sized square in plain stockinette...

...and then picked up stitches along each side for a simple garter stitch border...

...the little notepad is for my tic marks to make sure that each side is the same...

...and it's such an easy and mindless knit that it was done in no time...

...detail...

...the little hat you've seen before...I need to make another one in pink and one in blue...just to have on hand in case I need a quick baby pressie...

...ready for the gift bag...

...but then I thought I'd make a quick little pair of booties too...you just knit a "T" in garter stitch...

...and then fold one end over the other...

...and then do it again...

...they are so easy and so caa-ute...

...and tiny...and adorable...

...what's in your workbasket?...

~Have a lovely day!
