FO: Jasmine Lace Edge Cardigan - White

Ta-Da! I just finished sewing on buttons and it is all ready to go. Hopefully it will still fit the little one it was intended for.

Pattern: Jasmine Lace Edge Cardigan
from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms

Yarn: Ella Rae Baby Cotton (88% Cotton, 12% Nylon) in "White" - 1 and a half(ish) balls

Needles: Body - US 6/4mm
Sleeves and edging - US 5/3.75mm

Variations: Again, I knit this in one piece with picked up sleeves, rather than in pieces. I really hate seaming and doing it in one piece keeps my sanity. In addition to that, I did the lace edging on the sleeves a little differently too. Instead of knitting them up and then sewing them on, I attached them as I went by knitting the first stitch of every other row together with the edge of the jacket.

FO: Baby Outfit

This is going to be a picture heavy post. I finished knitting this up about two months ago, but finally put the buttons on the jacket and got pictures done yesterday. I had it packed away in my bag, awaiting the coming of the little one when I realized it had no closure device! So out it came and here it is!

Pattern: Beanie Hat
from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms

Yarn: Ella Rae Baby Cotton(88% Cotton, 12% Nylon) in "Aloha" - Not even a whole ball

Needles: US 6/4mm


Pattern: Harvey Kimono
from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms

Yarn: Ella Rae Baby Cotton(88% Cotton, 12% Nylon) in "Aloha" - Again, less than a ball

Needles: US 7/4.5mm


Pattern: Boy's Booties
from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms

Yarn: Ella Rae Baby Cotton(88% Cotton, 12% Nylon) in "Aloha" - Maybe a 1/4 of a ball

Needles: US 6/4mm

Variations: The only big variations I made where on the hat - solid color instead of stripes - and the jacket is a short sleeve instead of long sleeve the pattern called for. If I do the jacket again I will be converting it so I don't have to do as much seaming since I apparently suck at it!

I have spent the last few days thinking about how I want the little man to show up so bad just so I can put him in his outfit! Hopefully soon, and then I will have pictures of a baby in knitwear!
