The 2nd baby surprise looks big enough to fit a toddler. The cat has given it its seal of approval. I used Cascade Soft Spun yarn, purchased at The Full Circle in Ballard Seattle, and size 5.5 mm needles (size 9 U.S.).
And then there are the Kaffe Fassett yarn socks which I knit while I was in Seattle and sold at Kilternan Market on Saturday. We had a very busy Market – maybe thanks to the Art Exhibition across the street or maybe it was the article which appeared in the Irish Times the previous Saturday. It was a glowing article – it described the market as “a hub of warm chatter and friendliness where newcomers are very welcome, and it’s a sign of a community that knows how to guide the future with values that, happily, have not been left in the past.”
Kaffe Fassett yarn socks, yarn purchased at I Knit in London.
I also sold 4 of my notecards made from my photographs. My stock is going down – I must make some more for next Saturday.
After the Market I went across the street to an Art Exhibition, wandered around admiring the paintings, and finally made the decision to buy one.
Maisie
There were 2 other cow paintings by the same artist but Maisie was my favourite.
3 cows, Daisy, Maisie, and Martha – Maisie looked the friendliest.
the cat seems to have fun on that pillow:)) I’ve seen it before in your pix and always wondered about the cats not shredding it to pieces? I thought about making a rya pillow or maybe even carpet, but I know that the dogs would destroy it in no time – so I am waiting for a time without dogs (or rather for times with only one dog, which might be better trained from the start – live in hope:))
I think it’s a good idea to make baby clothes in staggered sizes, they grow so fast and usually they have far too many clothes to wear them all at the earlier stages anyway (I should know, I gave away several large refuse bags full of baby clothes recently…)
Janet that baby surprise jacket is lovely. What a good thing you didn’t give up knitting because of the sweaters that were too short or too long!
