Baby knits

It has been a while since I last blogged on here to share my thoughts and activities. This year has certainly been slipping past me without myself knowing. 

What have I been up to since my last post? After the epic failure, the next project(s) I have been working on are still work in progress. Finally, I have managed to complete at least one of them. 

Lets start off with the cardigan, Sirdar escape dk 100% wool. It was great to work with this as the pattern I followed was for a striped cardigan. I couldn't resist in using a self striping yarn. I was trying to use some of my never ending stash. 

The hat was just luxury to knit with. Thanks to Erika Knights British wool. I just used less than 25g to knit a 0 -6 months size. It was so soft and allowed me to have my dream come true of picking up a rather dinky ball of yarn off a shelf in Wool & Co, Dundee. 

Booties... The yarn used was bought from a few years back. It was a trip in Edinburgh, K1. The lady sourced from local farms. So it's a little bit rough looking but if I remember correctly it was Hayes Moss. 

I just LOVE knitting baby items. Please note, I'm not expecting. Its family members and friend. Baby stuff are all so dinky which means it requires less time to complete but it took me a while before I actually got round to sew up the pieces together. Now that I have the time I can plan and prioritise everything. 

Below are pictures of what I'm about to post to a friend in London. 

I hope the owner of these items will love them and get a sense for fashion at a very young age. Kaffe Fasset style. =)
