Black & white baby fever

4:44pm on the 14th of January, 2008

Sounds like an exotic disease doesn’t it? I wanted to post some photos of my newest finished object, a Seamless Baby Kimono. I made the bulky version, in worsted weight yarn on size 7 (4.5mm) needles to achieve the newborn/small size I wanted.

The photos aren’t the best, it’s finally been raining here, so you won’t hear me complain. The other modification I made was to the sleeves, I only increased on rows 16 & 21 to give it a slight flare. I thought the original looked a bit “girly.” Yarn used was three ply merino from Blackberry Ridge, wonderfully soft. I’m going to make some longies & booties with the same white/black theme for a set. :)

I’m also in the process of making some felt cookies & cakes from the “Favorite Felted Sweets” book! Hand stitching is a nice break from knitting/crochet.

    I haven’t heard from you in awhile, so I thought I’d drop in and see how things are.

    I think the kimono looks great. I love the colors and how the buttons match!
