I made the Emma Snowflake ornament from Knitted Snowflakes for my grandparents. I knit it with J&P Coats Knit-Cro-Sheen (Size 10) on US 1 needles.

I made Avast for Michael using Cascade 220 Wool 100% Peruvian highland wool in black on US 4 and 6 needles. The only difference is that I took the cable out, and added length everywhere.

I made this baby blanket for Kevin using the Horizontal Waves pattern from the Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Volume One. The yarn is KnitPicks Swish Worsted 100% superwash merino wool in Tidepool Heather and it was knit on US 8 needles.

I made the Amanda Hat [pdf] for Nichelle. The yarn is Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice 100% acrylic in Kelly Green (172) and it was knit on US 9 needles.

I made this Robot Blanket (based on the Robot Hat) for Owen. The yarn is Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice 100% acrylic in Kelly Green (172), Espresso (127), and Beige (123). It was knit on US 9 needles. I duplicate stitched the robots on instead of knitting them in because it presents a slightly neater back with less loops for little fingers to get stuck in.

I made the Baby Yoda Sweater [pdf] for a friend’s baby that will arrive in March. It was knit from Mission Falls 1824 Cotton 100% cotton in color #303 on US 6 needles. The size is 0-6 months. I changed the inside ties to crochet chains instead of i-cords since I thought the cords would be too bulky.

I made Womb for Heather. It was made with TLC Essentials 100% acrylic in Fusion (2690) on US 8 needles.

I knit the Herringbone Neck Warmer out of Manos del Uruguay 100% wool in color #104 on size US 11 needles.
