Umbilical Cord Hat / Car Onesies

Filed under: knitting,miscellaneous — Kristin @ 10:50 pm

I made the Umbilical Cord Hat from Stitch ‘N Bitch and two onesies for my friend Scott’s baby, due in January. The hat was knit from TLC Cotton Plus 51% cotton / 49% acrylic in Lavendar (3590) on US 7 needles. The onesies have Little Beeper (the baby Road Runner from Tiny Toons) for his Plymouth Road Runner, and the Mopar symbol for Chrysler auto parts.

Satin-Edged Blanket

Filed under: embroidery,knitting,sewing — Kristin @ 9:03 pm

I made the Satin-Edged Blanket from Knitting for Two for a former professor’s baby, due in December. The yarn is Lion Brand Homespun 98% acrylic / 2% polyester in Candy Apple (375). I used US 15 and US 19 needles. I embroidered the Chinese character for luck in one corner. The ribbon was actually 4″ wide instead of 2″ like the pattern called for.

Panta #2

Filed under: knitting — Kristin @ 6:08 pm

I made another Panta for Kelly’s birthday present. The yarn is Moda Dea Eclipse 60% extra fine wool / 40% nylon in Peri (2595), and it was knit on size US 5 needles. I altered it a little by only casting on 16 stitches.

Fetching

Filed under: knitting — Kristin @ 11:34 pm

I made Fetching for Laura’s birthday present. The yarn is Moda Dea Eclipse 60% extra fine wool / 40% nylon in Linen (2551). I had to do several modifications to get them small enough to fit her 6″ wrists. I used size US 5 needles. I also only cast on 40 stitches (instead of 45), which got rid of one cable repeat around. I did a 3″ thumb gusset instead of following the pattern’s thumb instructions.

Ruby

Filed under: knitting — Kristin @ 1:27 pm

I made Ruby for Haley. The yarn is Lion Brand Microspun 100% micro-fiber acrylic in Ebony (153) and Lily White (100), and Patons Brilliant 69% acrylic / 31% polyester in Radiant Red (4942). They were knit on size US 3 and US 6 needles. I made the 3-6 month size and she’s 5 months old now. They look a little stretched in the picture because we tried them on over the socks she was already wearing.

I’m not sure how I feel about the finishing on these. I might redo it.

I designed Besotted Hat from a few different patterns to match the Besotted Scarf I just made.  It was knit with Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky 80% acrylic / 20% wool in Willow (173) on US 10.5 needles.
