Clark and Brian, friends of my co-worker Emily, are having babies!!! I am seriously SO excited for them, I can't contain it! Their surrogate is in India, pregnant with TWINS!!! They head out to India in early October and will be there until all the paperwork in processed; hopefully by November they will have their two babies back to Brooklyn! They know one of the babies is a boy, but are not sure about the other; they're hoping that during the next ultrasound the babies will give them some full-frontal shots!
Emily is in charge of the baby blankets, so I think I'm going to make hoodies. I came across this pattern . . .
and it looks pretty straight-forward. Also, I found this person's variation . . .
and I LOVE the stripes. So I think I'll make matching sweaters, and the accent color of one will be the main color of the other.
I took a half day last Friday and took myself to Michaels (yea!). I wanted "slightly" gender-neutral colors, since we don't know the sex of one of the babies. I went with:
Dusty Blue
and Beige.
They're both a little "boy"-ish, but I think they'll look good as a set.
If I have yarn leftover, I'd also love to do matching hats with both colors. I'm not as inclined to do booties anymore, since after having my own squirmy child, I realize how much of a pain socks/booties are. It may be different if you have a baby during a cooler season, but I was glad it was warm enough that I hardly ever had to put socks on him (so far).
