Yarn Along ~ Shawl

Yay I am so happy to have an FO to share on the Yarn Along!!! I finished up my Mystery Knit Along with Romi. I used Anzula Squishy in the colorways Paprika and Sexy. There is something so satisfying about getting one clue a week for five weeks. It was a joy to knit and like always Romi put in a few techniques I haven't done before, which I always find as a bonus by making her patterns.

I have to give props to Tiny (age 6) for taking the pictures of me in the shawl. He did a good job holding my big camera. Had I realized I was going to be in the pictures maybe I would have dressed nicer and done my hair :)

Yarn Along ~ Baby Knitting

Over the weekend I was invited to a baby shower for my cousin. She is expecting her first baby in May. She is more like a 3rd cousin (well married to my third cousin), but she is having a girl and if you know my family we don't know how to make girls. So I couldn't resist knitting a little pink jacket!

I made the six month size and I used Anzula Squishy in the colorway Mauve. It is 80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere & 10% nylon. It is so soft and squishy.  I modified the original pattern and didn't make a hood. I didn't think a newborn needed a hood. The pattern goes up to a size 2 I believe. if I was making it for a two year old I would have made the hood.

I was lucky to find just the right buttons as Chelsea Yarn.  They are having an Anniversary Sale I highly recommend checking it out! 

Raverly Link- Baby Apple's Little Jacket

For reading (or listening since it was an audio book) I just finished "Gaining Ground: A Story of Farmers' Markets, Local Food, and Saving the Family Farm" by Forrest Prichard. I absolutely loved it!

Postcard Cardigan Take 2

I finished my second Postcard Cardigan. The first one I made with Brooklyn Tweed's Loft yarn, which sadly I learned I was allergic to. So I made a second one with Anzula Squishy yarn in the colorway "sexy". I am thrilled with how it turned out.

 

I apologize for all the finished pictures, but sometimes I have just as much fun taking pictures as I do knitting it.

 

 

 

 

Yay a finished knit I can wear :) I'm still unsure about releasing the pattern. If you are interested in test knitting it for me leave me a message.

 

FYI test knitters skills needed for this knit:

You must be able to knit, purl, graft (Kitchener stitch), increase, knit lace & decrease.
