Finished Pink things and a Quilt...

Well I have been crafting away getting ready for Our Little Girl to arrive in August. Here are some pictures of the sweet little pink things. I knit a hat and some matching socks using some leftover yarn from this project. I cast on 20sts using a US4 a regular 2x2 rib and short row heel with a regular decrease toe. I cast on 52 sts and worked with US4 dpns for the hat. I knit a 2x2 rib for 1 1/4 inches then switched to st st for 2 1/2 inches before I started the decrease. Hat measures approx 5 3/4 inches from top to edge. I hope that it fits. I embroidered a little daisy on the front of the hat using the template from this pattern.
I also knit some cute little socks to match these socks that I started for myself. I cast on 40 sts and used a basic 2x2 rib and short row heel and a regular decrease toe so that the stripes
would stay in the same order. The yarn is from "Yarntini" in the " Pure Knits" colorway. Chibi pictured for scale

I have also been busy sewing here quilt. This material is so beautiful I love every single square. It's Heather Bailey's "Fresh Cut" material. I bought 2 Jolly packs of squares from here. This is just half the layout I will be posting more pictures of this project as time goes by. Hope that you all enjoy all the pink. Happy Crafting!

Hi! I just hopped here from the Baby Bumpers blog. I love your little pink set! I have a brand new little girl (born 4 weeks ago), and I've enjoyed knitting in pink as well.

I noticed that you live in Germany. My husband is in the Army, stationed at Baumholder -- where's yours?
