Babies and Knee Highs
For your Friday viewing pleasure:
Yana and Baby B., working the EZ Baby Sweater
On a completely different tack, I find myself lusting after kneesocks. Links for your enjoyment:
Terhi's Highland Schottische Kilt Hose
Cookie's Rhiannon Stockings and German Stockings
Barbara's Over the Knee Stockings
And some other knee high patterns that have caught my eye lately:

SOOO Sweet. So freakin' adorable! Now if my friends would cooperate and have some girls for a change!

The sweater is so sweet and cute:-)

Thanks for all the knee socks links! It makes me want to make some too :)
The sweater is beautiful, and Baby B. is so very cute in it!

So darling! Baby and sweater are a perfect pair.
I have been looking for a great knee high pattern lately. These are great! I especially love the Rhiannon Stockings. Can't figure out how to get the pattern though. I would make those in a heartbeat.

For all of those EZ baby sweaters I've seen, this is the first time I've seen one on a baby! Adorable! (the knit and the baby, too!)

SO CUTE!! Oh and I love the Clessida socks, I so will be making them :-)

Perfect match of baby and sweater! They are both so very cute.

the clessidra socks caught my attention too.. they are very slick, modern yet traditional.

I am inpatiently waiting for my EZ's Knitter's Almanac and seeing all those cute pictures of WIP and now, this sweet little one all dressed up - I'll cast on for this sweater as soon as I get the book.
As for the knee high socks, I can not wait for Cookie's pattern to be avaliable online. I would not go for plain stockinete socks as this would be way too borring. Go for cables, lace or both. Nancy Bush knee high socks are lovely, so cast on if you have a pattern handy!

Baby B looks very stylish. And cute. (And thank you! :-))

Look at how perfectly it fits! I think this is the first time I've seen this sweater modeled by a real baby. Too fun.

Oh, that is just about the cutest thing I've seen in awhile! I made the February baby sweater a few weeks ago, it is so nice to see the modeled photos, since mine is yet to be given to the recipient.

Aww, what a cute baby in a beautiful handknit baby sweater!
I would love to be able to get behind knee socks but that is just way too much sock knitting for me. :-) The examples are beautiful, though!

What an adorable baby! Nearly had to stop myself from trying to pinch the computer screen's cheeks . . . how sweet!
I thought I was the only one who had a thing for knee socks (I chalked it up to 12 years of Catholic school). The Clessidra socks are a bit naughty too but maybe that is just the scarlet color.

Beautiful-both baby and sweater!
Posted by: brooke | March 9, 2007 3:46 PM
gorgeous gorgeous sweater!

I love the sweater and Baby B. is SO cute! I've had a thing for knee socks too, I can't wait for Cookie to start posting her designs online.
Posted by: Bea Apple | March 9, 2007 4:45 PM

Too freaking cute!

What a great rendition of EZ's baby sweater and such a lovely model! The knee sock links are great -thank you.
Posted by: Dianna | March 9, 2007 6:53 PM
The baby sweater is so cute! It really looks great!
I'm with you on the knee socks! All of those look so wonderful that I've been thinking about casting on for a pair too. Maybe we should start a knee sock KAL!

So cute. I'm planning on making that sweater soon, so it is nice to see it in action.
Posted by: Christy / Not Hip | March 9, 2007 7:43 PM
Oh, little sweet cherub! (the baby, not the sweater ;) hehe. I love the colors so much...the little green flower? Darling!
Posted by: Julia | March 9, 2007 7:46 PM
I remember thinking how adorable your sweater was when you first posted it. Now, the cuteness is off the charts!
Posted by: SpiderWomanKnits | March 9, 2007 11:37 PM
The sweater and the baby are both beautiful! What a combo:)
Posted by: Annie | March 10, 2007 6:53 AM
Sweater worked out wonderfully. Looks fab
Posted by: susan | March 10, 2007 7:38 AM

Posted by: nova | March 10, 2007 9:23 AM
The sweater only enhances the cuteness of the baby!
Posted by: LeeAnn | March 10, 2007 11:15 AM
Lovely knit-clad baby and such tempting knee-sock links!
Posted by: knittingphilistine | March 10, 2007 12:24 PM
Beautiful baby, beautiful sweater. I've never been tempted by that sweater in Knitter's Almanac, but now, I see my next baby gift ;-)
Terrific!
Posted by: Pam | March 10, 2007 4:41 PM

Posted by: HPNY Knits | March 10, 2007 6:56 PM
The sweater is gorgeous! And what a cutie pie baby.
Posted by: Oiyi | March 11, 2007 2:08 AM
Gorgeous, cutie babe and sweater!
Posted by: Lin | March 11, 2007 10:58 AM
Oh my gosh - I think I've only ever seen that sweater lying flat on someone's table - it's sooooo much cuter on a baby! And he's adorable!!!
Posted by: Lydia / Windansea | March 11, 2007 2:28 PM
two things...
1. Awwww!
2. What yarn are you using for the turquoise baby sweater in your last post?
Posted by: Emily S. | March 11, 2007 9:26 PM
That sweater looks fantastic, and what a sweet baby and mama, too!
I like the cable changes you made on the green sweater; it'll be fun to see how it turns out.

I love the combination of garter stitch yoke and lace! Just discovered your blog, and I get really inspired reading! Knit on!
Posted by: Tora | March 12, 2007 4:00 AM
Both sweater and baby are adorable! Did you make the pin on the sweater? If so, do you have the pattern? Thanks.
Posted by: Jessica | March 12, 2007 5:12 AM
How absolutely adorable!!!! Fits perfect!
Ugh - all those sock links....need to knit faster!
Posted by: stacey | March 12, 2007 9:06 AM
Sigh. Is there anything more irresistible than babies in handknits? Okay, a few of those kneesocks come close. I have major kneesock lust, too. I tell you, though, the second sock syndrome on those things is a bear.
Posted by: Sarah | March 12, 2007 11:51 AM
Aaaah, so cute! I swear that yarn and patterns are coming. I PROMISE.. tee hee.
Posted by: yaiAnn | March 13, 2007 1:24 AM
Ahhh, so cute! The yarn and patterns are coming soon, I promise!
Posted by: yaiAnn | March 13, 2007 1:25 AM
Before I cast on for my little EZ sweater, how much yarn did you use for this one?
Posted by: Agnieszka | March 16, 2007 2:30 PM
Elli - I love this post. That sweater, mom and babe are simply gorgeous. I've had little time to comment of late, but wanted to let you know that I am reading and really enjoying your work.
Posted by: Julia | March 22, 2007 8:27 PM
Sweet baby in a beautiful sweater. My brother and his wife just had a baby girl and I think I've finally figured out what I'm going to knit for her thanks to this post.
I was just poking around in some older knitting magazines for a cabled knee high pattern and the along came Clessidra! Thank you for sharing the other knee high links. Good inspiration and possibilities there as well.
