I know I haven’t posted anything recently, and I’d like to say I spent all my time knitting. I spent a little of my time knitting, and more of my time frustrated with WordPress. There’s nothing wrong with WordPress, I have just experienced quite a bit of user error. But onto the knitting…
I made a pair of baby pants for a friend. The yarn was hand dyed with easter egg dye. I was trying to create a yarn that would have short color repeats and no pooling of color. I think if I had knitted this in any other size it would have. This is the first pair I have made using the Adorabubble Baby Britches pattern. If you are looking for a pattern for baby pants I highly recommend this one. Melanie has created a unique gusset that doesn’t require grafting. Someone commented that the color pattern looks like ripples from a rock dropped in water. Even though they didn’t completely meet my vision I like the way these pants turned out. Unfortunately, they were lost in the mail.
I actually started these socks at the end of April and finished them sometime in May, but didn’t take a picture until August. They are 100% superwash wool boot socks custom made for my husband. My second pair of completed socks! I used the Bernat Socks for the Family pattern. Its a free pattern but you have to register and log into their site to view it.
