The "plan" didn't work out, but the hat did, somehow, anyway. And I even had enough yarn for ear flaps. There is a scant few yards left over that may be just enough to crochet a flower or something. It was that serendipitous combination of yarn, colour, stitch, and project. :)
Couldn't you just eat her?!
I finished the scrappy coffee bean too, also for Talia. I love random colour changes, and I'm very happy with this little top. It's something Katia (Aztec maybe?) a few bits of James C Brett Monsoon, and a length of James C Brett Imagine, and the button bands are Rico Melange! Once again, I really *could* have been more careful working the button bands, but I'm not bored with this pattern yet and have to make at least once more!
I shan't put up a single work in progress, because they are increasing in number at a crazy rate and I'm having trouble keeping track of them all. Honestly, I am so distracted by so many things at the moment, I just want to snatch up a project at random and work a row or two of something small. So everything is taking ages!
I'm not even reading much. So I won't be sharing any pretty book pictures. I did just start "What Katy Did" with Jenna, and she is transfixed. :)
Ooooh that cards is delicious, the baby tho is scrumptious!! Wooooweeee 3. Sleeps
ReplyDelete(Anxious about car, stress stress stress!) Yes - however we end up getting there, we are looking forwards to camp!
DeleteOh my word...what a cutie! She looks like she is enjoying her new hat!
ReplyDeleteThe little cardi is gorgeous as well! :)
She's a dumpling. :) It's far too hot here for her to wear the hat for real, but it really suits her. I rather like the suspicious expression. :)
DeleteOh a momma after my own knitted heart- Your babies are beautiful and your handknits are lovely! I am curious about all the little projects you are knitting on--as I am feeling the same way!
ReplyDeleteThankyou! :) I think, if I remember everything, I'm working on:
Delete- a coffee bean for my brother's new baby
- an aviatrix for same expected arrival
- a water bottle bag
- a big shawl that I am hardly working on in the heat
- a hat in rainbow wool with different stitch patterns at random
- about to cast on a cotton sunhat and a skinny silky shawl!
Oh my goodness that hat is adorable! I love having lots of things on the needles - it prevents boredom.
ReplyDeleteBaby items are a great way to use up those bits of left over yarn.
Pixie hats are an especial favourite. My sister in law is about to have a baby, and they like pixie hats (yay!), so I am knitting lots of adorable hats in mini size too!
DeleteThat little hat and the baby in it both look adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love the cardigan. What pattern did you use?
