A Big Sister gift for Aubrey, whose baby brother or sister is due to arrive in July.
I found some mysterious Superwash in my Mom's stash and it was JUST enough to knit this (size 2T) TINY Leaves Cardi.
I love the mini-pools of color. Aubrey has dark hair and olive skin. This will be adorable on her next Fall/Winter.
This little gem knit up so quickly! I didn't write down my start date, but I'm pretty sure it took less than 2 weeks.
I had less than 2 yds of yarn left. Just enough to sew on buttons and keep the rest in case I need to fix the sweater at a later date.
Mmmmm...details.
I bought two skeins of Simpliworsted by Hikoo a couple years ago with plans for dainty, white, Lily of the Valley mittens. After several tries I finally gave in to the fact that aran weight yarn will never make something "dainty", no matter what the pattern is. Well maybe a blanket but...
So.
I settled on a modification of SBA's Waiting for Winter Mitts (aran yarn, smaller needles, smallest size mitten, and I extended the cuff), and a cable pattern from a pattern calendar I received a couple years ago.
The yarn is super squishy and luxe. The mittens fit MY hands perfectly, and I love, love, love them!
Joining Ginny today and looking forward to everyone's projects!
Later!

Love the Tiny Tea Leaves, I will have to try that project, it's so sweet. Your winter mitts are yummy.
ReplyDeleteThose mitts look divine. Your baby jacket looks very similar to one I knit recently. Love the colour.
