Long time no see

Fall came, winter came, snow even came, Christmas came (and went away...) and
all along there was knitting done - well, if we count out the time I was in bed with flu and a 6 cm hole in my head...! But my Ravelry page tells me there are a lot of things I still need to share here.

I'll begin with something completely non-Christmassy. The undershirt and cardigan was made for a friend of mine who had her first baby a month ago. The cardigan is more purple and brown in real life - and the buttons are bright orange.

Short row cardigan

• Pattern : Drops Jacket - found here

• Needles : Size 3 mm circs - knit back and forth

• Weight : 50-60 grams

• Started : July 2009
  
• Finished : December 1st 2009
  
• Mods : Used thinner yarn so I modified the amount of stitches
  
• For : Tiny baby Tobias

I absolutely adore this pattern, but oh how I hated to knit it. I got so bored with it very, very soon after starting. The mother of the baby was happy, though, and it is true that the cardigan can be worn for a long time.


Baby undershirt

This was another 'going-to-the-cinema-without-anything-on-the-needles'-project. I ended up really loving it, though, and could end up knitting many more with all those babies popping up around me.

Well, I'll get back to the sofa now - more FO should be here in a few days...
