Just finished a project...

[rileybear67]

A friend of mine now has twin girls at home and I have made two sleep sacks. I am just finishing the second, but I did remember to take a picture of the first.

The colors were selected by the parents and I wanted to make something nice.
Someone told me that the one looks like an eggplant and now I am a little self-conscience about it.

Anyway, I would post a picture, but there doesn't seem to be an option to select from computer and I don't have it posted anywhere...

I'll look into putting some stuff up on Flickr for this...

EDIT: Now that I have created a group on Flickr...
The completed Sleep Sack (eggplant version 1)

Hee! Sleep sacks are awesome for babies, though. Did you use a pattern or did you make one up?

[rileybear67]

I used a pattern I got from an eBook from Knit Picks.
I have been trying to get into the habit of tracking my projects on Ravelry as well.

eggplants are awesome!

How cute!

So it looks like an eggplant. Knitting baby items that resemble food is a time-honored tradition that includes many a pumpkin hat, strawberry sweater, and dinner roll bootie. I'm sure the parents will think it's just adorable for their little darling.

The second one will be green with the purple collar, so hopefully the pair won't be too glaring.

And I never thought of it that way. Thanks. Makes me feel better.

That's adorable! Now I want to make a sleep sack that looks like an eggplant. (I had a friend in college who would wear a certain color combination often when we were going to work together, because I always told her she looked like a watermelon. She wasn't even [obviously] a baby!)

Now that I know how simple raglan sleeves are - I intend to try an adult size sweater sometime.

That is utterly adorable! Go you!

Oh, how cute! I love the color. :)

That is lovely. I would not have thought 'eggplant' until someone said it, but it having been said I can see it...and that? Just makes it CUTER.

[indeliblesasha]

Totally late! But! I have to agree, even if the baby looks like an eggplant that's just even cuter than not. Because yes, we dress our babies in food things. My boys had blueberry hats. :D

And I think it's darling, intentional food relation or not :D

I am still waiting on pictures from the family. They got the sleep sacks and I was told they LOVED them...
