My long sleeved shrug

The Stats:

Yarn: Lion Brand Microspun, color: ebony, two and a half or so skeins.

Needles: Knit Picks Options, sizes 4 and 7, I think!

Pattern: Glampyre Knits OSW free pattern, with long sleeves added.

Started a LONG time ago!!!!

Frogged and restarted: June 7, 2007

Completed: June 16, 2007

Notes: This is a really quick pattern, I started the long sleeves knitting flat, and quickly decided not to finish. The idea of seaming two long sleeves was not a good one for me. I left the poor shrug sitting for at least a year, and finally decided to do the sleeves in the round, but then I worried about my gauge and what-not. So I ripped and restarted. I'm glad I did. I wore this at the 4th of July Parade and see myself wearing it a lot more! I love it!

Bootie and Bonnet Set

The Stats:
Yarn: TLC Baby, Acrylic and Nylon, soft, color White Sparkle (but it looks like baby blue to me)

Needles: size 2 bamboo dpns for the booties, and size 3 bamboo circular for the hat
Patterns: Christine's Baby Booties, free pattern here, Hello Yarn's top down bonnet
Started and Completed: June 2007

Notes: I love these patterns. I didn't put the ears or anime face on the bonnet, just left it as a simple quick gift for whatever baby comes along next. Super quick and cute! There is another picture of the set on my creepy baby doll, here. LOL
