Equality and knitting

I'm knitting for a boy baby. Is it still "right over left for boys" and "left over right for girls" when it comes to buttonholes? Or has that fallen by the wayside ?

It may even be the other way round...can't remember!

Lovely Grannyknot!

Is that a self-patterning yarn or an intricate pattern?

I like those colours too.

It's a self-patterning yarn. I can only do "Easy" grin.

The L&R front are the same length BTW, that's not a very good photograph.

I like knitting those little "helmet" beanies with the earflaps too, this one will still get a pom-pom hanging from each earflap (in plain grey because the beanie took the last of my wool).

This is for a very special baby, his Mum had treatment for breast cancer in her twenties (she is well clear).

I like easy too these days, and there are some lovely yarns around.

I hope all goes well with mum and baby

It looks great. A change from the pastel colours which people often use for little babies.

Thank you.
