Shirt was left over from my fall crafting for Attached at the Hip. I started knitting a different hat for her using stash yarn from Lara's baby pants, but it didn't look good, so I snatched some Caron Simply Soft at JoAnn's on Friday afternoon and had this ready by the shower on Sat. at 2. Thanks, Leanna, for driving so I could finish it in the car!

Lizzy's Earwarmer
Whipped this puppy up for her birthday one afternoon last week using some stashed Lamb's Pride Bulky and a photo of something she liked on Urban Outfitters.

5 Hour Baby Sweater
More like 10 hours. I swear, this has to be the worst written free pattern ever.

Hearts Hat
Blurry no flash photo of Hearts Hat for Baby Sydney. I knit an embossed heart border around the base of the hat using a pattern from Nicky Epstein's Knitting on the Edge, but this yarn was so chunky and irregular that you couldn't see the hearts. Therefore I had to break out the trusty old felt. I also knit an i-cord, shaped it into a heart, and sewed it on the top. It turned out cute, and ended up being a completely original creation. Pretty neat!
Sydney Set
Too bad this baby won't be born by Valentine's Day! Baby legwarmers and impromptu matching hat knit on 9s and 10s using Crystal Palace Puffin, which is fleece. I really prefer natural fibers and didn't think I would like this yarn, but I ended up loving it! It's so soft!!!

Fingerless Mitts
Finally finished these last week. I used Classic Elite Wool Bamboo on size 5s, and the pattern is from an issue of Interweave from last winter. They're too big, and despite my best efforts I couldn't figure out how to narrow them without totally messing up the slip stitch pattern. I also felt like a true amateur when I ended up with 28 tails to weave in. Yes, that's 14 per glove. No, I did not join new yarn at every round.
