I haven't knit anything for the past few weeks, but when I look back at everything I made in December and January, I realize I got a bit burnt out. Take a look at it all and you understand why I've been taking a break.
Three fun, and bright bibs for a baby boy. The pattern is available
here for free. They were knit using dishcloth cotton from my stash.
My little Miss M. wanted a purple
beret for Christmas. I finished that on time, and the coordinating
scarf came a few days later. Both free patterns, just follow the links if you're interested. They were both knit in Lion Brand Wool-Ease.
Another baby, this time a girl. I thought this cardi was quite feminine even though the pattern is called
Baby Boy 5-Hour Sweater. It's available as a free Ravelry download. It's made in Knit Picks Swish Bare. I enjoyed shopping for the buttons at a local thrift shop. While I was there I got chatting with a woman whose daughter in law, like me, is from Bournemouth. What are the chances of that !?!
This baby girl hat drove me a little crazy. It was supposed to have little bear paw mitts to go with it, but I only finished the hat the morning of the baby shower, so the mitts never happened. The pattern is
here for free if you are interested. It's not the greatest pattern, though it is cute.
I decided I needed a new hat for me. It's been a long and snowy winter here. I've had to dig out my driveway more times than I can remember. This hat keeps my ears nice and warm. I've used this pattern before for a friend. It's called
Hinagiku Hat. It's a free Ravelry download. My friend posted a picture on facebook in which she is wearing hers, and I decided I really wanted one for myself. I knit with HiKoo yarn that was given to me at a yarn swap. I love the colour.
Well, I need to get my motivation back, since birthdays are looming, and there are a couple of really important ones this year. I'll be back soon.
