For those of you not fortunate to have a knitter in your family or, like me, can't knit your way out of a paper bag, I have found the next best thing.

Dreamland Knits has gorgeous handknit baby sweaters. I'm featuring my favorite in this post, but if it isn't your taste, they have others which are quite different in style.

When I was a baby my mom knit sweet sweaters for me, and as I grew up my grandmother knit for me every year. I could look forward to getting an amazing couture sweater every year, and now that she is gone they are a wonderful reminder of the love she had for me.

It isn't the same as having a sweater made for you by someone who loves you, but Dreamland Knits has a real love for the art of knitting, and it shows in her every stitch.

She also understands that babies need to be extremely comfortable at all times, and the edging on this sweater is incredibly soft. No tight edges to crimp pudgy baby arms, and no scratchy collar to make red welts.

Dreamland Knits baby sweaters range from $62 - $75, and the one featured here is $65. - Erika
