So there are about 6 or 7 babies expected amongst the women I know - that means lots of knitting. Found a truly adorable pattern for a baby kimono sweater in my Mason Dixon Knitting Book. And the yarn required is Peaches & Creme cotton. Cannot get any easier or cheaper. Knits fast and it's machine washable. Perfect. The picture below shows the progress, but I am done knitting already. I only started it two days ago. The seams needs to be sewn, and I have to find some cute ribbon for the closure.
Then I have been knitting a string market bag also. This is with Louet wet spun linen. You start by knitting the bottom as a flat square then pick up stitches around the edges of the square and knit around the sides in a mesh pattern. Due to its odd shape on the needles it is hard to get a good picture of it.
Then I tried to put my recent lace knitting course at the Knitter's Connection into practice. I knitted several swatches and went just about insane trying to find something I liked. I gave up on the designing process and just cast on with a published pattern. This is a celtic knot stole, rectangular shape, knitpicks shadow lace yarn, cyprus green.
I guess this week has been about independence from the master knitter swatches. I should stop dawdling and write up the answers to the questions. I could get it done quite readily if I tried. So little focus lately. Sigh.
