because we are thrilled to welcome our very first grand-nephew, young hudson hagar, born to our eldest nephew and his wife a couple of weeks ago. of course a guy's very first "welcome to the world" present requires something a bit special in the way of wrapping, so i used eyelet outlet washi tape and baby animal brads to dress up a plain white box and some store bought ribbon. i designed the box to coordinate with the baby card i made for hudson a couple of months ago.
for my fellow knitters out there i should probably mention that this excellent, top-down, no-seams pattern is a free ravelry download called "baby sophisticate" by linden down; i used one supersized skein of barcelona big yarn by loops and threads in a colorway called lapis lazuli. ♥
awwwwwww...what an adorable card, packaging and sweater! Fantastic giftie!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The girl just took up knitting this year, I'm going to pass along this post to her :)
Oh WOW you knit too! It’s beautiful and so deserving of the lovely box and baby card. X
