My name is Brandy Fortune, and I design knit-wear for kids. I love Crème Brulée, Sci-Fi, 70 degree weather and reading a good book in bed. I spend my time knitting, sewing, taking pictures, co-editing the web-zine 
knitting with a newborn is hard. Actually no, knitting with a newborn AND a toddler in the house, now that’s hard! At night when I *want* to knit, I *need* to sleep. So I don’t get much knitting done.
I did manage to knit up an adorable wrap top for LG that I had attempted to knit while pregnant (frogged twice), but alas she grew faster then I knit, and at 2.5 months she won’t fit into the Newborn so now I have to knit a 3 month size. I always seem to knit each of my patterns twice and it will give me a chanse to tweak the pattern so I guess it’s for the best, but really my goal was to capture her as a newborn in a hand knit. I suppose I’ll have to settle for capturing her as an “infant”. Here are the woe-begun photos of her. She’s adorable, the sweater is adorable, but alas her belly is big and it’s a bit snug looking on her (but fits very comfortably as the yarn stretches really nice). It’s knit in Wollmeise Natural and scalloped in Frosh Harmonic.
It’s going to be called “Milk” and features fold-over cuffs. I’ll let you know when it’s ready for mass consumption. Here I go, knitting it again!
Very cute!
I love it and can’t wait for the pattern release.
Knitting with a toddler and newborn sounds nearly impossible. The only way I get things done is by not sleeping. I am usually up until 2am.
Awesome. I’m in total sympathy as my daughter is 10 weeks old tomorrow.
So beautiful…both “Milk” and the model!!
