.....and, done!

Baby Sweater on Two Needles (aka February Baby Sweater), Gift for Juniper Olivia. Final version - cast on July 1, cast off July 6.


Yarn: Elle Pure Gold DK, Rare Ruby colorway

Mods: None that were done intentionally. I mis-interpreted EZ's "pithy directions" and divided for the sleeves after 4.5 inches of the lace pattern rather than 4.5 inches from the cast on edge. I lengthened the rest of the body to accomodate. It doesn't look perfect, but it is not horrible.....

Overall I'm fairly satisfied with the finished product.



Chunky Log Cabin Baby Blanket (aka Moderne Baby Blanket from Mason Dixon Knitting), Gift for Abram Eugene. Cast on June 11, cast off June 25.

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. I'm not a huge fan of the Bernat Softee Chunky yarn (100% acrylic), but it's baby friendly and I already had it in my stash so it was a quick and inexpensive gift. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for a chunky superwash wool or wool-blend yarn that I could use for this project next time!

Now I need to head out to the post office to get them mailed to the new parents!
