I made another In Threes sweater. This time in pink and for another baby. I love this shade of pink. It is kind of dusky and not pink, pink! There is neon everywhere right now, and I admit that I am just not a neon girl. I have had the hardest time shopping for my kids this spring. Everything is so...BRIGHT. I don't mind it in bits and pieces, but well...where are my pretty pastels??
I haven't been knitting as much lately because I have been dealing with horrible tendonitis. I was working on a cute little baby dress in a fingering weight, and it just did me in. I am half way done, and the dress is turning out so, so cute. I don't know if I can ever work with fingering again though. Thankfully, this is worsted weight, and so it didn't bother my hand and shoulder as much...whew. I made another little peasant dress to go underneath. I used a sweet little flower fabric from Hunky Dory that I have had in my stash for awhile. Perfect for a little baby, yes?
I also made some fun Foldover Clutches. I have been wanting to make some of these for awhile. The envelope clutch I made last year was starting to look a little dingy, so it was time for a little something new. One for me and one for a gift.
These are super simple, quick sews. However, the touch of leather gives them that perfect touch. Very satisfying! ;0)
Kid Clothes Week starts tomorrow. I don't know if I will be productive as I was last fall, but fabrics and patterns are picked! Fingers are crossed!
what a gorgeous sweater. absolutely stunning. my husband doesn't like neon either. he jokes that he's lived through the 80s once.... and that was enough! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the cardigan and the clutches! I'm waiting for it to get nice and cold here in Melbourne to pick up my knitting again. I've had a cowl on the needles for at least 6 months!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about neons. I don't mind a bit of neon trim or accent, but I can't cope with it as a main colour! Love that cardigan - the buttons are perfect :)
ReplyDeleteSuch cuteness! I love the little dress and sweater. And the clutches are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteMost adorable sweater and dress! That will be one stylin' little girl Meg!
