My Needles Seem to Fly...
I've been knitting like crazy lately. Or so it seems with all the stuff I'm getting finished!I think it helps that lots of it is small, so it's quick to make.
So here's a little run down on some of the stuff you saw blocking in a previous post:
I made this Paprika vest for MiddleMiss.
It was done as part of the Olive & Emma KAL on Ravelry.
The colourway is Baby Blue Eyes and is the perfect colour for MiddleMiss!
Though I was a little disappointed with the fit. I chose the size according to her chest size (size 5yrs) but knit to her age length (size 7yrs) and pre-blocking it really didn't fit! I managed to stretch it out a lot when blocking and it's ok now, but won't last long.
I do really like the cabling details on it though.
This is a little NB cardigan I made for a friend's new baby.
I had originally intended on using the apple chart from here, but the apples looked too big for such a little top so I sort of made up my own smaller version.
This was my third attempt at colourwork and I think I'm getting better, though it's still a little tighter than it should be!
This vest is one I've made before for my nephew. This time, though, I changed the pockets and made the collar longer which I think looks much better. Right now it's enroute to Canada to some friends who have just had their first baby (a boy) and with no appropriately aged babies around, I don't have any nice modelled photos.
The pattern is in-process - I just need a hurry up to do the little tweaks and send it off to testers!
