More Hats

I'm on a hat kick lately.  The one on the left is made from Paton's Wool and is a pattern from Knitting Pure and Simple.  The one on the right is knit with Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride worsted in kiwi.  The pattern is "Kim's Hats" from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts.  

Baby Gifts

A lot of my friends are having babies right now so I am doing a lot of gift knitting - which is fun.

This is a picture of the Elizabeth Zimmermann baby sweater knit without the lace (for a boy). I knit it out of Jo Sharp silkroad aran tweed (I used it previously for Reed's vest) because I love that yarn. The color is Wintergrass.

I love all of the different colors that are actually in this tweed.

The body of this lamb is Bernat yarn and the ears, tail, face and hooves are knit from Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride bulky.  The pattern was a lot of fun - mostly short rows - and I had no idea how it was coming together until about 15-20 rows into it.   I gave the lamb to a friend for her little baby.  She's not sure yet whether she's having a girl or a boy so I thought a stuffed animal would be a good idea.
