Sprinkles the elefante
holding two deep stash yarns together – brown sheep wildfoote and then either Knit Picks Shine Sport in Fuschia or Silver for some really basic stripes and and all over “sprinkle” design!
Baby K animal hoodie
Bittersweet, reindeer, camel heathers, maybe marshmallow (combing yarn totals in with baby blanket as I didn’t weigh in between the two!)
Chloe washclothes
Using some of the leftover yarn from the Stripey Steeky Blanket. Knit during baby shower and while Lisa was in labor to send my positive energy towards her. Plus, while waiting to meet her for the first time. They turned out kinda manta-ray-ish as I wasn’t paying full attention to the increases and decreases. Delivered…
baby K sweater
using Knit Picks Simply Cotton in the same colors from the blanket, adding a little green tea heather from the stripey steeky blanket for baby C, also due this summer.
Megan’s baby blanket
Adapting from original pattern to use worsted weight and knit shorter length. k-co 23 stitches for about 3” square blocks. putting totals used for blanket, sweater, and hoodie in this entry for ease of measuring – I didn’t weigh skeins between projects! still need to enter marshmallow, grey, and green tea which are overlapping with…

Chloe Dress/Tunic
Wanted something that would work as a baby dress this summer and then be a tunic as she gets older. Adjusted the pattern to work in the round, be more full of a dress, and have ties instead of shoulder straps. Lace is slightly askew on part of the skirt but it’s not too noticeable….
Chloe Bonnet
Saw this pattern on the Yarn Crawl 2012 at Close Knit and had to make it to match the dress already in process. Using more of the sport-weight cotton to make a hat to match the dress/tunic. Adjusting pattern to make it work with the same feather-and-fan spacing of the dress and my gauge from…
Stripey Steek Baby Blanket
Gauge swatch on size 8. Went down to size 7 for the blanket. Gauge swatch had several steeks cut into it for testing. Best was when the steek was around 2 single stitches instead of further apart. Used Crochet method to secure stitches, tacked down on the back and did a row of shell stitch…
