Luma

I'm so far behind in writing on my blog. In my mind I would up date this every few days. It already seems weeks since we visited ARGs friend MDL and her new baby Luma. By now they will have flown back to Peru, to MLDs husband and their new life as a family.

I was happy to have found Fair Trade peruvian cotton, in order to make a little hoodie for Luma. It came out larger than I had expected, but she should be able to wear it by the time she is about a year old. However, I find these days that I'm quite bad at estimating sizes for babies. I knit a sweater to fit a 6-12month old (the size I usually pick when I'm knitting for a new baby), only to visit at 3months and find that it just fit perfectly. I'm convinced that babies are larger these days, or that my old UK patterns do not provide suitable age-size matches for North Americans.
