Tiny Talia's head is so teeny that none of the hats bought for her fit and I made a hat with sock yarn, casting on 90 stitches. Sharon was over the moon with this one hat I made for her ("Opal - Rainforest - Flamingo") so I've rattled this one off for my Mam to take back when she visits at the weekend.
Something that will utterly swamp Talia is "Dumpling" ('Rowan Babies'). I made it in the 0-3 months size but the recipient is less than one month old, though even so, this cardigan will allow plenty of growing time. :-)
This is a great stash buster - made in "Rowan Big Wool" - knitting up in only a couple of evenings on 12mm needles. It only used 1.5 balls and I plan to use the remaining half ball with a full ball of cream to make another one for my friend Rachel's new daughter, Effie. I think "Dumpling" would look great with cream as the main colour and this pink blend as the trim. (That feels the wrong way around to me - it should be a cream trim... it's just the amounts I have won't work that way).
Do you like the gingerbread man button? One of a little haul from Ally Pally.

cute socks and even cuter hat! so ickle. :)
love the 'dumpling' and i think the cream with pink trim will look gorgeous.
Dumpling is so cute! And I love the button :)
That little jacket is so cute! Love the button.
Chunky wool and 12mm needles is sounding very appealing at the moment. I could do with a quick knit to get me back into the knitting.
Dumpling is a lovely sweater, its nice in the big yarn.
The button is fab, what a great idea. I had to laugh at Darth SM, but it seems like you won in the end! The cushion is lovely, and I do like that fabric. Must do some sewing this year...
Awww! Adorable little cardigan, and the button's cute.
beautiful!
I love Dumpling! It's enough to make me go all broody... Bet she looks a wee star in it and the hats.
