Have a little one in the house or on the way? Newborn gifts are so much fun to make, whether they are a DIY baby gift idea or you are making one for your own little bundle of joy. Adorable knits for babies are some of my favorite things ever. When I was expecting my son, I made a bear he still keeps, and the blankets I made for my daughters are now safely tucked away as heirlooms. Learning to knit is not hard, either. I taught myself when I was expecting. Whether you are a beginner at knitting or a more seasoned pro, these cute and easy knitting ideas for baby are some of the most darling ones around. Complete with step by step tutorials, what you see is what you get.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
