I picked up the latest issue of the English magazine Simply Kitting today and once again am highly impressed with it's contents but once again a little less pages and pages of a how to guide, the same pages and pages in the last issue...it is a monthly mag after all - couldn't they alter it slightly?
What really caught my eye while I was flicking through was a letter titled Oh My Goth. A lady who was about to become a grandmother for the first time was starting to knit for a new grandchild, however her daughter and fiancee are Goths so the first sweater is red and will be followed by a purple one as she won't knit black for babies.
Awww what a shame! When looking through Stitch N' Bitch Nation I noticed a pattern entitled Baby's First Tattoo. It was a baby jacket with motifs knitted into it, the pictured jacket had blue birds but there were other graphs provided including a skull. How cool is that?
At least I think so, and you know I would so knit my baby something in black. With skulls on it.
Until next time,
Suzi.
A bona fide red head and damn proud of it.

Do you think they will have the "How to.." section every time? I like the dinky cable needles. I think I will make the girls' bolero/shrug thin for my second cousin who is 2... If I had a child they would be forced to wear something green ( a sock, a ribbon) EVERY day!!!

Make sure you add an "arm" tattoo that sez Mom on your baby skull sweater. heh.
