Cheapo Was Her Nameo

I've started a new knitting project! I'm whipping up a diaper cover for Flora to wear in her 12 month pictures next week. I found an adorable polka dot top for $2 at our local Children's Orchard, and choose a pea green colored yarn that matched to knit the bloomers with. 

This is how much I've gotten done as of this morning, I'm about half way through the pattern now. The pattern I'm using is the Milo Soakers from Vintage Baby Knits. The same adorable knit book I used for Flora's Shrug back for her 9 month photos. So far they are knitting up quite nicely! I'm using Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Pea Green. That's right. I'm no yarn snob. I make 100% acrylic look good ;) 

And here is the shirt, that obviously will need to be washed and ironed, haha. I also ordered a pair of vintage white shoes off Etsy for the photo shoot. you know, the ones that babies are always wearing in the Little Golden Books?- only 3 bucks people. So basically I just spent $5 for Flora's 12 month outfit (The yarn was from my stash) 

FRUGALISTA! 

aka cheapo.
