I am very remiss in my blogging of late. Problem is that by the time I get to sit down these days, my eager hands are far more likely to reach for my knitting than my keyboard.
\nAlthough I have finished projects to show for it!
\nFirst off, I finished the little striped baby cardi.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nA lovely knit with a lovely result! (And yes, bigger than expected, I still didn’t check my washed tension!)
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Striped Cardigan<\/a> by Debbie Bliss from her “Booties Blankets and Bears” book.
\nYarn: Baby Cashmerino, 2 balls each of white and blue (Book and yarn from Calico & Ivy, Balmain)
\nNeedles: 2.5mm and 3mm. Should’ve been 2.25 and 2.75mm, I think.
\nMods: None, knit precisely to the pattern.
\nAnd I finished something for myself, too.

\nWhen the lovely DrK headed over to the USA before Christmas, I made her a little case for her camera. In return, she brought me back a most beautiful gift – two skeins of Koigu Mori<\/a> in the most gorgeous shade of pink!
\nIt begged to be a scarf, and who am I to resist such lush yarn?

\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Montego Bay<\/a> scarf by Amy Singer
\nYarn: Koigu Mori, two skeins.
\nNeedles: 5mm.
\nMods: None. I knit the first skein, then I cut off enough pieces for the little braided fringe from the second skein and then I knit until I ran out of yarn. It’s perfect! The yardage of the yarn is less than the pattern calls for, but the length is just right.
