I greatly appreciate the advice and cheerleading re: kidlet nightshirts.

I couldn't find a pattern that looked like what I wanted, which is
probably so simple that patterns don't come into it for the same
reason you can't find a recipe for toast. So I took the old baby size
one, outlined it on her big scribble pad, sketched the pieces bigger
and cobbled together both a pattern and a prototype.

Cmonkey offered in moral support in the form of running amok and
munching crayons.

thassalia, I used the green stripey
flannel that was to be a blanket. To my stunned amazement, even
though the sleeves meet a bit crooked and aren't quite the same
length, the stripes are pretty straight and meet nicely at the seams.

I redid the pattern using an actual ruler, bought more flannel and cut
out three more nightshirts. My hausfrau projects are burgeoning out
of control, mainly due to the fact I can more easily squeeze things
like this into the random 5 and 10 minute chunks of downtime I have
during a given day. I have in progress:

1 woolie
1 kidlet sweater
1 doll sweater
1 knitted pair of cargo pants (10 minutes from done)
3 kidlet nightshirts (cut, need to be sewn)

And in the queue but not yet started:

3-4 more woolies
1 patterned scarf (I've graphed a two-color pattern and am dithering
between doing it double-knit so one side is a negative of the other,
or converting the graph and trying to do it as illusion knitting)
2 kidlet hats (to be determined)
Random doll clothes for Abby Normal (if Cmonkey doesn't already have
the hang of dressing by the time I get to it).

Be happy I don't have the free time to post pictures. One day, as the
intertubes are my witness, I will post fannish and/or interesting
things again!
