Then my lovely friend, who's mum to one of K's favourite playmates - another blonde K, they're like the terrible twins when they get together - announced she was expecting another little girl. She's going to be called Daisy Rose, when she arrives in the next few weeks. And with a name like that, there was only one thing to do - buy daisy buttons for a rose-coloured ballet cardigan. And a hat. And some Mary-Janes. Once I got started I just couldn't stop and I'm afraid I spent quite a lot of time going "squeeeeee!!!!" over the teensy baby clothes! I couldn't crochet when K was small and her own ballet cardigan is a size 3-4 so it took quite a while. Daisy's worked up almost instantly. As ever, these patterns are all from
Crochet in No Time ; it really is my favourite ever book so far. The buttons I picked up on eBay.
The package was delivered today and much fun in the garden was had by all - paddling pools, chocolate cake and evil pirates (er, that'd be me, although it was K & Daisy's dad that ended up walking the plank at the point of two garden canes!). So I can finally show it off. Here you go!

And now - on with the granny squares! I've made two already and they're just waiting for one more before they head off to America. How exciting!
Eta: See what Littlestuff had to say about this set at their Blog Love post! How cool is that?!
