Tonight I am finishing of my knitting. I have been re-knitting the bonnet and booties to an old baby set for my new wee Grand daughter due in April. I was very surprised that my son asked if he could borrow the layette to bring home his little daughter from the hospital. I was thrilled and proud. His Grand mother knitted this layette for his sister some 40 years ago. I am sure their little one will look so beautiful.

You can't beat a hand knitted layette on a baby...there is just nothing better. Yours is just gorgeous.
How sweet!!! You will have to show pics of the baby in them!!
Can't wait!!

What lovely work.
Beautiful layette, so nice to be using when the new grand child arrives. The chicken scratch looks great, I haven't done that in many years!
