After taking full opportunity of crisp, cool air in a cloudless sky, I spent some time with things of beauty. First, thoughts on the growing belly of a lovely friend for soon, I will attend her birth and I’m over the moon about that. Her newborn babe, hours old, will slip into this diaper cover for a few early photographs and I’m over the moon about that. I bought the pattern here on etsy, knit it in Cascade 220 Superwash #1913 Jet.
In the quiet of a morning when all the girls were at school, I checked out a book that forever changed me. I can’t remember the last time I read a coffee table book, cover-to-cover.

I read it for the third time after a run outside, lungs still burning from degrees of twenty. Everyone in our home loved it so and in so many different ways. If I could, I’d have everyone I know look at it. I felt it in my heart when I looked at the pictures. I know that sounds a bit cheesy, but seriously, it’s that incredible.

how incredible to be at your friend’s birth event! The diaper cover is beautiful and I love the neutral color, it can go with any outfit.
grey works so well, Karen, when the mamas don’t find out if it’s a girl or boy..thank you.
I love knitting baby things. It will be so amazing to take photos of your friends newborn.
@della knitts, I’m not honored with the birth photography, but will instead help the babe makes his/her entrance into the world a little more filled with love.
That diaper cover is so sweet! Im sure the pictures will be gorgeous! And what a beautiful honor to attend the birth!
I can’t wait, Ko. xoxo
