knitting friends and fans, this chickadee has not forgotten about you! there has been plenty of k1 p2 k1 sl1 psso k2tog going on behind the scenes at chickadee central. the cutest thing to come off the needles lately is this coordinated set of baby sets. it was a special order from two very special people for their not-quite newly born niece (she's due to make her appearance this week!). with several skeins of bernat cottontots and a eighties knitting book, this chickadee cast-on on a mission to make baby girl (blank) the best dressed neonatal in all of the nursery.
