Knitting Today

 A couple of months ago I put the Harbin Sweater Test Knit aside for a variety of smaller knitting projects.  Here are two of them:


This is the front of the mini Nordic sweater for great-grandchild number two and family member number twenty-five!


Here is the back of that sweater.  I kind of like the pattern.  It was a bit of an accident. I forgot to start a pattern at the right time so this was the best design I could come up it.  As I say, I sort of like it.


This is my rendition of the Swaddle Pals Volume 1 bunny.  Not great but the baby will not care.  I did not block it.

The tail is not ideal but it does look like a tail, I guess.  The bunny is supposed to be flat rather than round.


Here we have the actual swaddle blanket with the loop and button showing.


Little Bun is ready to be swaddled!  If I make another of these swaddle pals and blanket, I will make the blanket square instead of rectangular as the pattern specifies.

 

Little Bun is ready to be held. I hope the new baby will want to snuggle with this little creature.  My guess is that it will not happen. I feel like the yarn is a little scratchy.  Still it was fun to make.

Now...back to the Harbin Sweater.  With good fortune it will be complete by the end of the month and a report and photos sent to the designer.
