As promised to Tracy (Wool Windings), I knit one preemie hat and one pair of booties last night (both from Bev’s Country Cottage and both of these things are QUICK!). Of course, I don’t read directions very well and made them from wool (merino super-wash that is oh-so-soft) but I’ll send them in anyway and stick to acrylics and cottons from now on.
Fun, cute, quick and for a very good cause. What more could you ask for in a project? So I’ll *have* to go back to the yarn shop and find some more appropriate yarns. Yea… like I’m not always looking for an excuse for that little trip.
I finished the back to the baby sweater from Knitting For Baby. It’s a very easy pattern as all the cable patterning is done on only two rows of the eight rows total. Very easy and quick. Perfect for those of you that haven’t tried your hand at cables. Really. Would I steer you wrong?
That book IS very cool!!! It’d be perfect for teaching my young niece (she’s 6) and my little knitters too.
Wow! That hat/bootie set is lovely–what beautiful colors. As a very(VERY) novice knitter, it always amazes me how quickly other knitters can work things up. I love the cabling on that baby sweater too. 🙂
The baby sweater is adorable! I’m so going to have to go and get Martha’s Kids, that is precious. And, it is so nice to see knitting in a kids magazine.
The yarn you used for you hat and booties is gorgeous! I also love the cables in your baby sweater; I’ll have to keep it in mind.
Jean, the hat and booties are just adorable. I love the yarn! Thanks for helping out.
The preemie set is adorable! Love the cables, too! I was just looking at that book in Barnes N Noble…I haven’t seen the Martha’s kids I love the sheep I’m going to have to find that 😉
