Hand Knit by Deb: Raleigh's outfit

My mother-in-law has been working on a beautiful baby outfit for Raleigh since before he was born. For you knitters out there, she was making a Dale of Norway pattern using needles as small as sizes 0, 1, and 2.

This outfit will be an heirloom and is truly beautiful. In some of the pictures below, my hair got in the way of the flash, so for example, one of the arms of the sweater looks darker than the other. And the pants look like they have darker areas on them, which is not the case. The picture of Raleigh wearing the outfit is the best rendition of the true colors of the outfit.

As a knitter, I can appreciate the work that went into that outfit. Fairisle knitting takes great skill.
