Some cool newborn gifts images:
sleep sack

Image by smallestbones
This was a gift for fellow knitter Kira who is due February 6th. It’s basically a bag, for a newborn, to keep warm and swaddled. Apparently (I learned tonight at the baby shower), sleep sacks help reduce the risk of SIDS. I imagine it also helps to keep babe from scratching its face up. I chose the pattern because sleep sacks were on Kira’s list of desired baby items.
The felt applique was machine sewed on and the little legs are made of embroidery thread.
It’s made of Araucania Pomaire 100% cotton. The pattern is here: robyndevine.typepad.com/devine-life/2009/08/snug-as-a-bug…
