Baby patterns (all can be found online/on Ravelry): Debbie Bliss Baby Knits for Beginners, Baby Eyelet Cardi, Pawprints Cardigan, February Baby Sweater, Elvira, Mini Manu, Seeds & Vines, Knitted Baby Cape/Poncho, Oh Baby Baby Booties, Super-natural Stripes, Tomten Jacket, Garter Yoke Baby Cardi.

Rose-Kim Knits (and discovers Crimes Against Knitting)
Thank you very much! I’m just after exploding with laughter in my shared office while listening to the podcast on headphones – your despair at the pom-pom leg fancies was entirely hilarious. Being the only knitter in my office though, I knew the comic effect of this would not translate to my co-workers and was somewhat at a loss to explain what had been so hilarious.
Thanks Michelle, exploding laughter is essential to survival in any office I think. Non-knitters are not fully aware of the terrible (and comedic) repercussions of a misapplied pom-pom. We have to save them from themselves…
