New Year = New Knits

Well, the holiday knitting momentum has carried over into the new year. No surprises there. Here’s an update on how that’s been going.

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.

Sweater: another pattern from the Last Minute Knitted Gifts book.
