Upon cleaning up the studio, I unearthed a number of projects that were... half done;
this being one of them ~ a baby beanie & cocoon.
All it needed was the flowers, so I took a much-needed break from the cleaning to finish this. It was initially meant to be a gift for a dear friend. By the time we scheduled our visit, baby was a wee bit bigger. So, in a panic, I made my first ever baby sweater.
*Basic pattern for cocoon below
(creativity under pressure ~ why not :o)
And yet, the best part of this, was seeing the expression on Mama's face when she opened this baby gift; love, love, love it.
...I've done it again, easy to get side-tracked isn't it?
Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday,
Tajie
