subject: Knitting Supplies [print this page] Sitting down to knit a new baby garment is a delightful thing to do, but first you need to have the right knitting yarns. Baby knitting really requires the softest, lightest of yarns so that the garment will not hurt or irritate baby's delicate skin. Besides, it is much more pleasant knitting with the softest of wools that slips through those needles easily. Most knitting wool suppliers do have good baby wool, but some do not, so you have to take care where you shop.
Years ago nearly all of baby's garments were knitted, right from vests and little knickers through to leggings, bootees, dresses, bonnets and matinee jackets. This kept all those doting nanas very busy clicking needles. However, today tiny babies are more likely to be dressed in blue jeans than knitted leggings. But there are still plenty of garments such as tiny jumpers, beanies and coats for the nanas to knit.
When it comes to hotter weather such as in Brisbane, cotton is an excellent choice for baby knitting. Those who want to make baby garments by crochet in Brisbane will find that such garments are soft and comfortable for baby to wear. There are so many lovely patterns you might be hard pressed to decide which one you will make. So why choose? Make them all!
Knitting and crochet are fun hobbies and help to relax you. For people who get used to rushing around at work all day and doing their housework in the evenings, knitting is one way to ensure you actually get to sit down for an hour or two. And you can still feel that you are doing something useful because you have that delightful little garment taking shape under your fingers. Knowing you have created something for baby to wear by your own talent is a very satisfying feeling.
