Found His Mittens

No posts for over a month.  That’s partly due to Christmas presents, partly due to busy-ness.

Here is my niece, Avery, at Thanksgiving playing with the free stickers and stamps I brought her:

And my mother and my cat, napping together:

My new plates, all set up in the kitchen:

And my brand new cabinet, my Christmas present!

Bailey wanted it for himself.

I made the Top Down Baby Jacket from Plymouth Yarn, #1560.  It was indeed a simple pattern, and didn’t take long to do.  I adjusted the pattern to do the arms in the round.  Also, the pattern picture shows three buttons, but the instructions only have one button.  I left it as one button, this time.  I’m sure I’ll make it again.  I used Berroco Comfort yarn, worsted weight.  It’s half nylon, half acrylic, and amazingly soft.

I made a couple more Saturday market bags in the round using modifications detailed on the Knit with Me blog.   I used Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece again, made with wool and cotton.

I also made two of the Snowbuddies, with one more to go.
