Coffee In A Cup

Some say love makes the world go 'round, but it might just be the coffee. This week's inspiration is highly caffeinated and very cute.

Work In Progress: Baby Tunic

IMG_1306

I've been knitting this cute little tunic for a friend's baby with Heartwood (75% superwash merino/25% nylon) in the Hydrangea colorway. The pattern is Little Sister's Dress, and is super quick and simple! Tora Frøseth is a Norwegian designer with a collection of unique designs just popping with texture. This little dress just needs a wee button and will be done!

Baby Bumblebirch

Bumblebirch Designs has taken on a new employee, though he's a little short on experience. Quite mischievous, he can't understand why such great yarn need be out of reach. Why not bring some of that fine fiber down here and we'll see how long it is? Or see how it tastes? Maybe the kitty wants to play with it too?

He loves the outdoors, just like Mommy, and thinks the swings at the park are great. We hike up the hill to Washington Park (I walk, he rides comfortably in the ERGO baby carrier) and there in the first clearing, between the mossy willows and some rather tall sequoias, I enjoy a few moments of quiet bliss as my little swinger smiles.

Sunny Days

What's better than a sunny day? Nothing that I know of, unless that sunny day finds you knitting in its warm rays. Along with the sunny day comes singing birds, fragrant flowers, and smiling faces. I hope it's sunny where you are!

Work In Progress: Vanilla

IMG_1117

Baby Bumblebirch is now nine months old and is growing and growing! We use cloth prefold diapers and Nikky diaper covers - but sometimes it's fun to dress him in something different. This pattern is Vanilla by Kelly Brooker which I'm knitting with Cascade 220 Wool.
