I finished this blanket from Rowan Classic Bambino for my 4 month old neice in time to gift on Christmas. I had to do some cabling and bobbling for the first time. I also used the instructions for the Wild Stripes blanket to add a lining.
Here's a peak at the lining.
For Christmas, my sisiter got me this book.
Nell shops for yarn!
I was trying to finish something really quick to boost my knit ego, so I knit this hat for my 2 year old nephew. (Turns out it wasn't such a quick knit; it still took a whole week to finish!)
I don't have any shots of him wearing the hat, but I do have shots of him wearing this for the Easter egg hunt:
This is Wildfiber Kujaku Purse. I just finished sewing in the lining. It was inspired by a crocheted purse I saw at Wildfiber in Santa Monica a couple weeks ago. I tried to make a Knit version of the purse I saw, but made something totally different instead.
Pattern: my own
Needles: US8 bamboo
Yarn: 2 skeins of Noro Kujaku in color #18
This is a picture of the lining; I used a crazy butterfly print I already had. I made a little cell phone compartment for it and knit a rosette for the zipper pull.
I'll leave you with a blurry shot of my nephew in his Weasley sweater.
Happy New Year!
