We’re still waiting for the little one (two weeks to my due date!), but I have another baby knit to show off. This is the Baby Sophisticate pattern, and I’m totally in love. This is the 6-12 month size, but other Ravelers said it runs small. I hope this will be just the right size [...]

The final shawl I have to show off is Stephen West’s Daybreak pattern. I saw this shawl going around Ravelry and loved it’s shape and style. I picked yarn that is outside the range of my normal color palette but I really like the results. This shawl is springy and energetic, and very easy to [...]

I’ve been really lax in getting these finished objects photographed, but in the past 6 months or so I’ve done a lot of shawl knitting. Now that the temperatures have warmed up a little, Tom and I were able to take some nice photos in the park. I’ll post a few shawls over the next [...]

More baby craft goodness! I’ve made two little hats for our fashionable future baby. This first hat is the Greenleaf baby hat, which I made another version of a year ago for a friend’s new baby. I think it’s cute and classic. I made mine with a silk-wool combo that will hopefully be soft on [...]

I bought three balls of Aslantrends Bariloche kettled dyed yarn from [...]
