I got a surprise in my inbox this week, an email from my old coworker Kate. She shared with me some pictures of her beautiful baby Sameera, who is one of my Lawyer Babies — my personal nickname for the layette sets I knit for some of my old coworkers.
Look at this beautiful baby. I dare you to not smile at this picture:
You smiled, didn’t you? Don’t lie, we all are. Sameera is decked out in a Baby Surprise Jacket and matching hat and Christine’s Stay On Booties, knit in Koigu PPPM and Dale Baby Ull. (And look at how well those booties have held up!) Kate told me in her email that Sameera’s grandmother thinks she has a kingly air in this outfit, and I have to agree, don’t you?
The life of royalty is clearly difficult, having to put up with all this paparazzi, but Sameera is tolerating it in order to show all of all the beautiful natural fibers she’s wearing — that’s a cotton diaper to go with her wool couture.
It’s always a real treat for me, as a knitter, to get to see things I’ve made out in the world being worn and loved, and there’s something extra special to me when it’s for a baby. Thanks, Kate, for these pictures and letting me share them here!
