Happy Friday everyone!
The day before I had my new baby - who I will now call Bean (thanks Paula!), I started a very simple little vest for him.
When I went into labour the next day, I thought it would be the perfect project to take to the hospital with me. I then spent the next 8 hours or so knitting the same two rows, over and over and over. See, the pattern is incredibly simple, but you do need to slip the first stitch of each row and that one little detail was apparently too much for my addled mind to handle. At least it was distracting!
I did finish it over the next few days and then decided to add a little hat to complete the outfit. The little jumpsuit I have made for him is not going to fit for a while but these little items are perfect right now : )
Vest:
Pattern - Pebble by Nikol Lohr (free!)
Yarn - 50g Berroco Blackstone Tweed
Hat:
Pattern - Tubey by Woolly Wormhead
Yarn: 25g Berroco Blackstone Tweed
Wishing you all a wonderful and relaxing weekend full of time to knit and check out more finished objects over at Tami's Amis!
Cheers, Nikki
