You are too Cute!


It started on Friday, as a baby kimono sweater, inspired by the Baby Yoda pattern I saw on Ravelry. I loved the pattern, but as I knit, I felt like it was looking a bit big, and I really wanted something for a newborn. So, I frogged, and cast-on the Heartbreakingly Cute Baby Kimono Sweater from Mason-Dixon Knitting. This pattern is so easy and smart, and cute, I cannot stand it. Knit in one piece, it flies off your needles, and is a perfect baby gift. I think the ribbon through the eyelet border adds a whimsical touch. I have another one planned for another friend with a baby on the way!

Dancing Kimono

As if there's not plenty of knitting projects going on, I cast on for a baby sweater. A friend of mine is due in October, but I have my doubts as to if she (and baby) will hold on quite that long. So last night, while watching the movie, Shall We Dance? I started a kimono sweater. I am working it out of Mission Falls Cotton, and knocked out 2 sleeves and cast-on for the back before nodding off!
The pattern may turn out to be a hodge-podge of a few different patterns . . . I'm keeping good notes, which I will detail at some point!
