nantucket!
but first the baby blankie-



the sunshine baby blanket if finally finished. crocheted a little shell edging all the way around. squeaked through with just barely enough yarn of each color yellow. maybe i'll have enough left over for some baby socks.

yarn- baby ull from norway
crochet hook- turn of the century size f



look at this gorgeous skein of yarn! it's north country cotton mini from cherry tree hill, color nantucket red of course! i've been eyeing this yarn for a while, and this year the yarn store had enough for a sweater.

it swatched beautifully, and will be a simple(ish) raglan cardi with garter borders.

cast on provisionally with size 6 circs, and will knit the garter border all the way around the cardi at the end. mostly because i can't decide on whether to put just one button at the collar, or buttons all the way down.

sheep to shore, where the yarn was purchased, is a lovely shop, full of beautiful yarn and tons of knit-up samples.

s'more montage.

dukie actually turned around and posed for this photo.
he purrs like a machine.
