Keeping Busy

Since I don’t have anything interesting to say today, I have these for you instead. Here are some projects I’ve completed over the past few weeks. You can click on the photos for a larger view on Flickr.

This is a wool beret that I absolutely love. I made it out of Taos 100% wool yarn #15 by Crystal Palace Yarns. The yarn itself is pretty expensive, about $9.00 per skein, but well worth it! I used one skein plus a few feet from the second skein for this beret.

This is a cable knit hat made from ON line Linie 44 in Caramel and Merlot. It was a little difficult to work with due to the fact that it tends to split, but the final product is soft and totally wearable.

And finally, these are baby booties I made for a friend of a friend who is expecting a boy! I don’t even know the woman very well, but any excuse to make these…I mean, how could I refuse? They are 100% cotton - not sure the brand of the yard. Just picked it up at a local fabric store. I made the bows out of some left over ribbon I found laying around. Adorable.
