Stick a Baby In It, It’s Done!

July 6th, 2007 · 11 Comments

Finished Leaf Yoke

It’s finally 100% finished.

Humidity plus cotton equals a long slow air drying process. I finally had to point a fan at it or it would still be damp.

It will look adorable on what is potentially a little red-haired baby girl waiting to be born.

Pattern: Leaf Yoke Cardigan from Nashua: Bloom, Spring and Summer 2007

Yarn: Nashua Handknits Natural Focus Ecologie Cotton, 2.5 balls

Color: 0083: Curcuma

Needles: Addi Turbo size US 6

Started and finished in June (though it did take till July to finish drying)

*Remember! There are errors in the pattern. Nashua hasn’t finished their website, so if you decide to make it, send me a note and I’ll forward the corrections to you!*

Thanks everyone for your input on the buttons. I wound up using my favorite of the bunch and they actually came in second of all the votes I received. I think they are a perfect match.

I hope the Mommy-to-be likes it!

Have a great weekend!
