Ermm I don't know, are they for Ava then?

ummmmm NO!

The pink cardy on its own isn't too bad, but all the rest is way OTT for me!

I think those are beautiful, I would probably dress them for a special occasion, but they look handmade and would go into a keepsake box. xxx

No.
I've been given a few cardis like that and although i appreciate the effort to knit, i really couldn't put Immi in them.

dont think i would. i love cute baby clothes but they look a bit "chav" to me - sorry if they are Ava's. Anyway, Ava's got more class xx

No susan they're really not my taste , I was just wondering what the general consensus was. If you like them we could do a whip round for the new arrival

mmm second thoughts i would use the white cardi (showing my chav side now ) x

Id use the white set for a christening perhaps

Ermm no thank you, I was trying to save your feeling in case you loved them

No TBH I really don't like them, we got loads of bits like that from old biddies on Simon's post round and I gave them away to charity

LOL. Now..Shayne's Ukrainian Baba, may she rest in peace, has knitted the most beautiful cardi's and blankets for Matt and Maddy, that I had to dress them in them when we went to visit. I kept all of them. Not usually my taste, but loved the effort put forth in making them. xxx

OMG
