Oh my goodness, I didn't know if I was going to make it blogging a Fo a Day for 5 days but I'm almost there! Only 1 more day to go!
Today's Fo is actually two items, but since they go as a set I wanted to post them as one. It's a super cute BSJ by EZ in the most scrumptious yarn Hello Yarn Fat Sock with matching Saartje's booties too. I was able to squeeze both out of two skeins. It is so, so cute, that's all I could say to myself over and over again as I took photo after photo.
So, so cute.
I had a annoyingly hard time finding the perfect buttons for this set. I really wanted to find a set that had smaller ones for the booties and larger ones for the jacket but coordinated overall which is darn near impossible (who knew?) I finally found some that worked and while I think they're cute I'm not IN-LOVE with them, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another set.
Details on ravelry as always, the jacket here and the booties here. If you haven't knit either pattern yet, I highly recommend it, both are an enjoyable knit.
You are right - oh so cute!
Those little booties have got to be one of the cutest patterns for knitted baby items I've seen! The coordinated buttons are a great touch, too.

The set is SO adorable! I have yet to knit a BSJ, but it's good to know that it's an enjoyable knit.

Gorgeous set, who have you made it for? I think your FO a day challenge has been a real achievement - you should definately get yourself something nice as a reward!

Almost too cute! What a great colorway, and not the usual baby pastels. I think I agree with you on the buttons. Something closer to one of the yarn colors, maybe?

The jacket and those booties are so adorable. I love the yarn and the buttons. I'm going to have to knit each just 'cause they're so darn cute. There aren't any little ones in my family but I suppose my niece and nephew will start producing babies eventually. :-)
