Nope, there are no grand children on the horizon, one of the young girls at work is expecting her 2nd and its a girl. I gently asked if she liked handknits on babies, and to my surprise she turned out to be a knitter! I asked if I could knit a thing or 2 for the baby, she's due in December so prime handknit season, and she said yes. So here I am knitting baby garments.
How exciting shopping for pink baby wool! this is what I chose
It reminds me of a Neapolitan ice cream. Yarn sorted next was a pattern. I wanted some thing easy to put on and not fussy. I came across the Eliza cardigan and thought it fit the bill perfectly. Its a free pattern on Marianna's blog. Worth a look as she has loads or patterns!
This is such a quick knit, easily done in a few days, and as a result I am almost done. I just need to finish the sleeve, sew them up and weave in the ends then find some dinky little buttons and it will be ready to go. I may have bought some more yarn for another baby knit
That is so sweet, I love multi-coloured wools. When I used to crochet they always made me do more than I meant to as I loved seeing the colour changes.
ReplyDeleteIts such a lovely change to knit small things.
