N is wearing her Fletcher sweater from Tadpoles & Tiddlers knit in Rowan All Season Cotton -- it's a bit over a year old now. It was a joy to knit ...
I'm on the sleeves of a sweater for N or R, I'm not clear if it will fit N, but I'm knitting the biggest size I can with the sale yarn. I hate sleeves. All that tedious increasing that seems to never, ever end. So I knit up this fun baby hat:
This is for my friend Jenny who we saw this weekend. She's having her 3rd baby and needs more baby stuff like she needs a hole in the head, but I love the leaf design and the purple color. It's hard to get a good picture of it ... I used some Wildfoote sock yarn that I had with size 3 needles. It was a nice break from the chunky cotton on size 10s.
I'll be ready for the KAL socks after this weekend friends! I've just got to finish the dratted sleeves ....

What a beautiful photo of N. I am planning a photo gallery of hand-knits being worn in every day life, sort of a "Tricot in Situ" photo album, and this would be great. I love the leaves on the baby hat! So sweet! BTW, I want to hear about your knits' at the auction. How'd it all go over?
It went great -- I can't remember what the hats sold for at auction, maybe $100? I get to see them on the kids at school and it just makes me so happy! (I did that!)
go Ann!
love, tina
