An FO!
Name of project: Infant Wrap! (You’ll need a Ravelry account to view the pattern)
Yarn: Patons Australia Merino Totem DK 8ply
Needles: Knit picks 3.75mm
Cast on date: 12 December 2008
Cast off date: 18 December 2008 (My birthday!)
Learned: Nothing.
Modifications: There are some weird things going on with the pattern! The mistake rib was weird and different on different panels (I.e the front plackets). I decided to ignore those that didn’t make any sense to me.
Also modified the button bands. Didn’t want to have all 6 buttons.
Mistakes: Nadah.
Baby Chubbs would have something snuggly to snuggle into when he’s born. The yarn is gorgeous and sooo soft! I love the yarn and will definitely get more to store in the stash. It doesn’t flake, so it’s perfect for babies. It’s merino wool and so soft against the skin. And best of all, it’s not too expensive! The perfect choice to knit baby items with.
I’ve also dug up from under my stash UFOs that have been forgotten. Cast on more than a year ago and abandoned.
They are the Peekaboo scarf for my mum-in-law and a basketweave blanket meant for Sunshine. I’ve decided to resurrect them and am knitting them now. The blanket would be for Chubbs, of course. Since it will be too small to cover Sunshine’s long and slender body now.
They should be finished soon as they are easy knits.
