I used Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton.
Olive.
Its SO soft. Perfect for a baby. Although the hand wash, lay flat part isn't entirely perfect for baby, but hey, its worth it.
After a test swatch it seemed the yarn and my gauge was knitting up too big. Of course. So I stuck with the 5mm needles but made the size smaller than the pattern called for and it worked out quite perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion mum!
And... hurrah, I tried a new technique.
The Magic Loop.
On the sleeves.
Aw yeah!
And I think I have a new way to knit in the round! Because I've only tried dble points once before I didn't have a habit to break. Thank goodness. Lord knows comfort zones are brutal for anyone to get out of!
I wanted to write 'A+' on the chalk board but that's a bit self serving isn't it? But maybe that's a new idea and I can grade myself! Hmm... |
I thought the navy buttons were perfect on it. (They're not as royal blue as it appears) |
And I think she likes it. |
I think you need to put an *A+* on your board, not self serving at all :D Love the 3/4 sleeves they work well, and 'yes' a great colour.
ReplyDeleteCute photo's too! ..well done!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome Cindy! It turned out just perfect for her. I'm so impressed that you used Magic Loop for the sleeves. It looks just adorable on the little onion skin eater :) She's a little dream-boat!
ReplyDeleteSo so sweet! I love the colors, great job!
