Have been very slow on the knitting front since my last post!
However, my friend Penny posted a little jacket and blanket on her blog, which was the subject of a couple of nasty comments,because of the colour. I had some yarn in a lovely nutmeg brown - so shamelessly copied her idea - used the same baby jacket pattern and made up a little blanket identical to hers!! Told you I would Pen!
The colour is a nutmeg brown and very attractive - all from a couple of odd balls in the donation bag! It is very tiny - just preemie size.
Here is a little sweetie - Rindy's Raglan - all for not quite one 50 gram ball of anonymous wool, from a batch bought from Wangaratta Knitting Mills - thank you Karen, it was lovely to knit with. It has little nubs of white fluffy stuff throughout the blue. The white collar and cuffs are a left over scrap of Angoretta. The buttons are little white bunnies - from daverun on ebay of course!
Another little bit of scrap yarn made this next little jacket. I really am trying to use up my stash!
So lovely Yvette! I am so impressed with your adult surprise jacket! That is a LOT of work there! The baby sweaters and the blanket are lovely as well!
ReplyDeleteI happen to love odd colors for baby items. Here in the states we have many odd ball parents who would never stick to just blue and pink for a baby. I love the nutmeg brown.
ReplyDeleteAdorable Sweater and Blankie Yvette and I especially LOVE your color Choice!!!! LOL

I love the Rindy sweater. Any idea where to find the pattern? I have seen her album and there are tons of adorables, but no pattern link. Thanks.
