"The Lotus Baby Blanket" by Shana Schasteen. I've made several of these little blankets in the past. Here is one in pink for Baby Zoey, and one in blue for Baby Zachary (they are folded on top of each other). Knit of KnitPicks Palette Fingering Yarn in Blush and Sky. It is a great pattern, although a bit confusing at first. It is knit on a circular needle. As it grows bigger, with your knitting, it creates a little bag, which is the perfect spot to carry your ball of yarn. However . . . because you cannot look at it laid out flat and catch your mistakes as you work. Thus, there are a few mistakes in each, that will just have to serve as my "humble spots".
This cute little guy has outgrown his hand-knit sweater, and has been begging me to knit him another. He just loves a loose cabled cardigan with a hood. He has picked out the yarn, and I've cast on in KnitPicks Brava Bulky in the color Cobblestone Heather (dark gray). He has also requested a striped scarf, which will be knit in Cobblestone Heather and Sky (light blue).
The pattern we've chose is The Robin Hood Jacket, by Zoe Mellor. I've knit this pattern many times, even adjusting the sizing for an adult. Here my daughter and daughter-in-law are both wearing their's.
He is so excited to get it. Even though the weather is much too warm to wear such a sweater, he asks me every day if it is done yet. I keep telling him it will be ready for his first day of Kindergarten in the Fall. My two-year-old grand-daughter also wants one. Her's will be knit in the same yarn, in the color "Fairy Tale" (plum purple). Her's will be knit second, but should be ready for Fall wearing as well.
These are the tease pictures I posted for our next "Knit Night" KAL. We'll be starting up our gatherings again in September, and this is what we will be knitting together.
Here is another picture. Can you guess what it will be? Write you guess in the comments. If you are the first to get it right, you will win 2 skeins of "Hooked" Cotton Yarn ($30 value), to make your own??? No need to be an attending member of our "Knit Night" group. If you are the winner, I'll send a copy of the pattern to you, along with the yarn. [I can only mail to those in the continental USA.] Happy Knitting . . . . . .
