The first project to be completed was this little raglan-sleeved baby sweater, which was originally intended to have buttons on the neck but the little collar was just way too cute.

The second project was a lacy bolero. It was small and simple, and actually fit fairly well. I almost pulled it off without a hitch, but in the end realized that I need some serious practice picking up stitches.

There are a couple more projects in the works, but more on those later. Until then, I hope you are enjoying these dreary days of S.A.D. as much as I am.
Yes, that was sarcasm.
