Finally, Spring

I have finally finished the Springtime in Hollis baby sweater that will be included in a silent auction for a fundraiser being held by a friend's alma mater.

This pattern is Springtime in Hollis, a pattern written by Teresa Cole of Comfort Wool. I am a licensed seller for her Springtime in Hollis and Andalusia patterns. You can see all of her designs on her Ravelry design page: http://www.ravelry.com/designers/teresa-cole

I really enjoyed this knit, and the yarn I used for this project. I knit it for the 12 month size in Stonehedge Fiber Mill's Shepherd's Wool, a very soft worsted, in the Great Lakes colorway. (The photos really don't capture the color well. The closest-to-true is the photo with the darkest green, below.)

Puff Hat

Was fooling around with a nice girly colorway of Patons SWS and made this hat, sized for a 2 year-old. I love the self-striping yarn, and the shape is funny, but cute!

The Learn-to-Knit Afghan

Going to be picking this project back up this year. We are doing a Knit-a-long on Ravelry. I have just barely got through half of the first square. I will be stashbusting to use up all my acrylic.

The KAL is officially going to start in March 2011.

If you are interested in joining the KAL, just pick up a copy of the book and cast on!
