My best friend is pregnant. Yep.She's cute and round and officially done work, so it's only a matter of time before we get to meet the little one. She is a former doula so discussing different stages of the pregnancy comes natural to her. Well, the more I talk about it the less likely I will ever want to have a child - birthing process? No thanks! Especially discussing this over a lovely friendship date? That's just a disaster waiting to happen!
So when my lovely friend asked me to knit her baby something I made a pact with her. I will knit whatever she wants as long as she discuss the actual birthing process with me. I don't want to know about tears and stitches and all that - and in return I will give cute little "Tater" anything my friend wants. Perhaps a bit unfair, but I think our friendship will survive because of this pact.
Of course, once we meet Tater it will be all bowel movements, and spit up.... but that's inevitable! I just can't wait to meet them, hug the crap out of them (not literally) and maybe knit some more things once I know if it's a boy or a girl!!! :)
So here is the "Birthing Process Pact Sweater"
A creamy sweater copying the Hudson Bay Co. traditional stripes.
The button band will be last, and I will have to check with her if she wants buttons, or snaps. But I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
Yarn: King Cole Merino DK (Stripes)
