| Lace and Leaves sweater and cap set 1 |
I was rather busy on the weekend knitting away on these baby sets which are oh so cute. I had seen the pattern on ravelry and really wanted to try it but didnt know where to buy the pattern from. My mum informed me that the Fox Collection had a new catalogue and what did I find in there, the pattern for these sets. It arrived last Friday and I promptly cast on the burgundy one in Smoothie DK which knit up easily in 2 days. Then I decided I would knit another one out of some yarn that I have had for about 14 years now. They both turned out beautifully and the best thing about this pattern is that you just change the needle size and the thickness of your yarn and you get a different sized garment. There is also a blanket to match and a bonnet if you prefer. My mum is trying out the blanket at the moment for a baby gift! There is also another cute pattern and hat or bonnet at the back of the booklet so I will show you that one once I have finished it. I knit a sleeve today at the new knitting group I am attending and it was rather pleasant with a different vibe to the nighttime one. One of the ladies actually lives near me so maybe one day we will have a knit together afternoon. At least my Thursday mornings will be filled with knitting and chatting!
