Image
This is the first officially finished project of 2019. Layette set 37 will go to KnitWits. The Cardigan Pattern : Polka Dot Cardigan by Linda Jo Park Size : 3-6 months Yarn : Cloverleaf  by American Thread Company Content : 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color : 348 Tangerine Yarn : UnKnown Acrylic, but probably a Red Heart yarn Content : 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color : Medium Teal ? Needles : Circular size 6 and 8 Started : December 25, 2018 Finished : January 3, 2019 Comments : This is the third prototype of my design. Checking to make sure I've got it right. This is the back. Here is a close up of the stitch pattern. It's a 2-color Moss stitch. I had a very hard time finding buttons to go with these colors. I found these ones online at Embellishment Buttons on Etsy. It's not what I really wanted, but they'll do I guess.

Layette Set #34

Another one done. I didn't have to do the blanket this time. A pretty little pink blanket was donated to KnitWits, so I made it into a Layette set. Cardigan Pattern : Super Natural Stripes by Fawn Pea Size : 0-3 months Yarn : Caron Easy Care Acrylic Content : 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color : Off White Yarn : Caron Jumbo Content : 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color : Spicy Ombre Yarn : Red Heart With Love Content : 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color : Bubble Gum Needles : Circular size 5 and 8 Started : September 10, 2018 Finished : September 17 I love the pinks in this project. A nice change after all the brown. Back of cardigan. Nothing fancy about the button. I sewed it on with yarn. I split the plies apart and used just one ply and a small tapestry needle that would fit through the holes in the button.

Layette Set #33

Geez, I had a hard time getting this post done. Everything was working so slow on the internet. Sweet Hubby suggested rebooting the modem when he got home from school. It fixed the problem. I wish I'd thought of that sooner. Would have decreased the frustration. Layette set #33 is done.

I hope to have it published before the end of the year. I've been trying to come up with a clever name for it. I love this stitch pattern. I found some adorable sheep buttons for it. The back looks pretty nice too. Hat Pattern: My own Size:  3-6 months Yarn : Red Heart Super Saver Content : 100% Acrylic, w...

Layette Set 32

Image
This is the 32nd layette set I've made for KnitWits. The Cardigan Pattern: Little Avery by Taiga Hilliard Designs Size: 3-6 months Yarn: Caron Simply Soft Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color: Bone Needles: Circular size 7 Started: June 29, 2018 Finished: July 13, 2018 I have been wanting to try this pattern for quite some time. I like it. It's easy to knit and looks so cute.   I embellished it with some embroidery just to feminize it. Just because it's tan in color doesn't mean it has to be for a boy. The stitch pattern is simple and easy to memorize. The hat Pattern:   Chibi Striped Baby Hat by Chiaki Hayashi Size:  3-6 months Yarn:  Caron Simply Soft Content:  100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color:  Bone Needles:  Circular size 7 Started:  July 14, 2018 Finished:  July 21, 2018 I used the same hat pattern I always use. Just put the stitch pattern from the cardigan in the cuff instead of garter stitch. The booties Pattern:...
