I'm going to be an Aunt for the first time in December. I am so excited. Soldier's brother's and his lovely wife are expecting a little girl!
So what is a first time prospective Aunt to do? Knit of course.
Pattern: Bloom by Georgie Hallam
Yarn: Cleckheaton Merino Bambino 4ply in red
Needles: 2.75mm and 3.5mm Knitpicks Options interchangeable circulars
Because the pattern is called Bloom, I needed some flowery accents. I knitted an i-cord and attached this leaf pattern to either end,
and added a brooch with this flower.
We saw the almost parents yesterday at a little family gathering and they loved it! Now I know they are receptive to handknits there will be a lot of little girl patterns on my needles in the future.

Gorgeous work. I get to knit for my nieces too, it's such a nice way to fit in some girly knits occasionally.
