Saint Brigid is slowly progressing. I have a foot's worth and it is getting easier to knit, still checking the chart but not nearly as closely as before. I have even ventured to bring it out for knitting in public.
I also found the most adorable baby knits book from
Sublime . I bought 2 skeins of yarn intending to do
this sweater, but cast on for
this hat instead. It was super easy to make. I adjusted the pattern a little to work in the round once the ear flaps were done.
It looks a little like the crown of the hat is too shallow, but I think it is just the angle of the picture. I also started a bootie, but I'm not crazy about the shape. I think I didn't pay close enough of attention to the rows as a I was knitting it, so I think I'll be frogging and redoing. Also, it seems like I should do a provisional cast on so that I can graft the edge together and it will more closely match the other side of the sole. More on that later.

hey, thanks for the comment - Pat at W&W seems to think the baby yarn might not be so bad, since it's thinner, it's wound tighter maybe? And if you got a lighter color, the white fuzz will be better hidden. But let me know how it works out! Beautiful cables, by the way.... Thea
