With one week (one week?!?) until my due date, I figure it's time to start thinking about the "important stuff". That's right: what is baby number three going to wear home from the hospital?
Now comes the challenge. I have more of the Swan's Island Yarn and would love to do a matching cardigan/hat/booties set for coming home from the hospital, but I'm feeling a bit uninspired. The yarn is worsted weight, and usually I prefer the lighter weights for newborns- but this yarn is too soft and magnificent to not use.
So, does anybody know of any great worsted weight baby layette sets? Or maybe just a pattern that you've adapted for worsted weight yarn (maybe it was originally done in fingering /dk/sport weight?).
Links, pictures, anything- put them in the comments. I'd love to see any suggestions!

Both had special hand knits waiting for them, I think it only fitting that our third child should expect the same.
About a year ago, I purchased some amazing Merino/Alpaca Swan's Island Yarn. It's been sitting and tempting me, but I wanted to save it for just the perfect project- and I think this may just be it.
I've never knit a baby blanket for a baby. That's right: never. Working on this has made me realize I should always have a baby blanket on the needles. It's great to have a project to pick up and knit a few rows here or there without having to think too much about it or dig through my knitting bag to get a pattern out.
I recently came across and fell in love with this book and plan on knitting the bonnet that's on the cover.
