I love the fact that knitting is coming back into fashion again, although it never really went out of fashion in my world :-)
One of the good things about being pregnant is you have a great excuse to put your feet up every now and then. And if you have something to do that's creative, relaxing and fun, even more reason to relax and enjoy the moment.
Get yourself a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn and take up the craze that's even being endorsed by Royals... woohoo... Good on you Kate!
At about 6 months plus, you should be able to rest the patterns on your tummy. Baby doesn't mind! For many generations the emphasis has been on knitting bootees and cardigans, which are beautiful and cute and gorgeous etc; but these days with babygros and slick designer baby gear available, it hardly seems worth while.
Make a family heirloom that all your children, present and future will adore. The Ekokids are eco-versions of Barbie dolls and have unique characters because you make them yourself! They are simple and quick to make, designed for beginner knitters.
Later in the year, we're launching a 'Knit-A-Kid' knitting kit which will have all the tools and materials you need to make an Ekokid doll, with a few additional surprises. But for now, the pattern books on Kindle are just what the doctor ordered.
Put your feet up, grab a cuppa and relax, this is a creative moment for you and your baby, and you know you're in good company!
