They are not walking yet so I thought some nice warm trousers and a knitted top would make sense. Sounds like a great idea and the sewing of the trousers will not be difficult but I don't knit well enough to create anything suitable so I put out a call to my friends and was thrilled when Laurel offered to knit two little tops for me.
I chose the pattern and bought the yarn and sent them up to Laurel in Queensland. Today the first little garment arrived and I am so thrilled with it. I couldn't wait to show it to you.
Now I have to find a pattern and yarn for the second one.
Thanks so much Laurel for being kind enough to do this for me.

That is a lovely little jacket. I'm sure their mum will love it. How kind of Laurel to knit it up for you. Anne
Beautiful work Dian, I am sure their parents will be thrilled at these gifts. Have some pics of the little ones for us to see in their outfits. xox Corrine
Laurel has done such a good job; it is a lovely jacket. What a lovely idea for the girls' birthday.
It certainly is a lovely idea to give the little ones something hand made. I am sure they will both look adorable in their little outfits. It is very generous of you Dian, not to mention how wonderful the cardigan is of course. Laurel is a fantastic knitter, and has certainly shown that here. The cardigan is a beauty, lovely yarn, lovely design, beautifully knitted. Hope you are not too cold down there.
Its a beautiful top and wonderful that Laurel has knitted it for you. Can't wait to see the next one and the trousers you are going to make too.
