Baby's Hat

I knitted this hat with my spindle spun merino yarn dyed with Kool-Aid. The yarn was spun thick & thin and it is single ply.

Capelet?

This capelet is made from a part of unfinished camisole. Since I know I'll never wear a mohair camisole, I thought... maybe it would make a capelet. I made a crocheted flower and here it is. I think I'll never wear a capelet either, though.

Another Slippers

I knitted another pair of slippers. This one is for K. I used leftover Cotton-Ease so that K can wear these now. Wool slippers are still too warm... I think I'll knit a few more pairs!

I started to knit a baby cardigan from Jaeger pattern book a few weeks ago. This is a gift, so I want to make it right, but.... this yarn -Jaeger Match Maker 4ply- is giving me a hard time. I just can't knit it with steady tension. Somehow the width of the piece affects the gauge, so I can't rely on my swatch gauge, and every part knits up in a different size!!! I'm not a very experienced knitter but this doesn't happen a lot to me. Well, there is still lots to learn!
