2 baby sweaters
Pattern: Organic Guernsey
Yarn: Araucania Nature Wool (just one ball!)
Needles: US 6 & 8
it measures about 18-20″ around the chest so, HOPEFULLY, it will fit the new baby when he’s about 6 months. it stretches a bunch, so I’m hopeful it will fit in november/december. even if it isn’t cold outside, babies could always use extra warmth, right?
next up are some pants and maybe some more booties.
when I soaked/washed this one, I also FINALLY washed/blocked the pink sweater I knit a long time ago. it’s the basic top-down raglan I made with some yarn I kool-aid dyed.
this one is a little bit bigger. I’m not quite sure what to do with it. over-dye it with some red to make it more masculine? try and sell it? it’s so soft! I have 2 balls of fisherman wool (over 800yds!) that I want to dye and make something out of. maybe a blanket for the boys. speaking of blankets, I should probably make one for le fetus, so that I can cuddle with it and make it smell like me. you know, to become like a security blanket for him or something.
