It’s been a while since I had an FO to post here. And now I’ve got 3 of them! Almost 4.
I finished the baby socks, hat, and sweater for J’s friend.
Can I just say SOCKS! They’re so tiny! For size reference, that spoon? That’s a tea spoon. They have lost of stretch though so they can grow with the child.
And this is the “watermelon” sweater that I did. There is a picture of it with the little flower buttons I added, but I forgot my camera at home so no pics for now.
The socks ended up being a pattern of my own design. The sweater is Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Baby Surprise Jacket which is adorable.
The hat was the Berry Baby Hat by Michele Sabatier. Wonderful easy knit with great results. The only mod I made to the hat pattern was I did the “adult” size with a DK weight yarn, which came out to a baby size.
I’m also binding off my Peacock Feathers Shawl. Finally. Can I just say that crochet chain bind-offs, while they look great, take for freaking ever. I spent just over 2 hours binding off last night, I’m not quite half way through.
Pictures of that to come.
