little knitting

For a wee one. This was a lovely little cardi to knit, as it was done all in one with only the collar attached separately. The pattern was a free download from Ravelry and I used a cotton/bamboo blend variegated yarn.

I'm one of those people who doesn't like to genderise babies, and if we have a girl she won't be wearing bright pink - especially if she has my skin tone as well. Pink skin and pink clothes do not work very well.


A while ago I bought some of that specially designed sock yarn that produces a type of fair isle pattern as you knit. I'm glad I had enough left over for these booties, aren't they cute?!!

I've started knitting another type of booties, also from Ravelry, and I want to knit a few nappy covers to wear over the nappies I'm making - more on that soon....

Have a great weekend. :o)

  5. You continue to amaze me with your talents. I love the beautiful pieces you have made. I agree with the choice of the gender neutral.
    They will be great on either a boy or a girl.

  6. Jen, the cardi and booties are divine!

    I envy those who can create such small things. My skills are lacking in that area. I can't even knit a scarf so it is even. *grin*
