For example, itty bitty baby socks,
Fun felted fishies (the front two aren't finished yet),
Soft Alpaca wristlets,
Fuzzy baby hoodies (this looks much nicer in person. I don't know why everything knit from this yarn looks weird when photographed, but it does. The hoody is very light and soft as cashmere),
And a teddy bear sweater, knit from cotton yarn.
I told them that knitting wasn't all there was to do. I've been trying my hand at applique quilting and made this the other day. It's 14 x 14 inches. Now if I can just figure out how to get the excess stickum from the fusable web off the front. See that little smudge just under the dragonfly's wing? Gonna have to look it up somewhere.
I'm trying out a pattern loosely based on the Randomly Slanted Sweater pattern from the spring 2000 issue of Knitter's Magazine, using the Iris yarn from yesterday. It's created from bias strips and then sewn together. Here's the beginning.
So...no, it isn't too hot to knit in the summertime but you do need to keep your iced tea from dripping on your knitting! :)
