Off the needles

Two projects done!

Owen chose this "rainbow" yarn for his hat. The colorway didn't work up the way I expected (stripes), but it turned out cute none-the-less, and Owen loves it. The yarn is Paton's Classic Wool in Autumn. A basic "beanie" 2x3 ribbed, and then knitted in the round to desired size.




and the vest... I have to say, this is my first real garment, and I think it came out very cute. Elliot loves it. There is such pride when my boys where a "Mommy made" item. This is also Patons classic wool. The color is charcoal. I used a modified version of this Pebble vest.



It is very soft, too. and looks great with a fireman's hat & PJ's.

and many more projects await!
