Knitting

I've been busy over the past few months making beautiful little things for our little baby.

In keeping with our wish for all our baby clothes to be made from organic and sustainable materials I made this beautiful little onesie from organic cotton yarn and shell buttons.
Here's where I got the yarn... http://ecoyarns.com.au/
And here's where I found the pattern... http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gift-wrap-romper--sweater





I made this beautiful cardigan from some wool yarn in my stash.
Here's where I found the pattern (it's free too!). http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/puerperium-cardigan




Here's some great little pants from another free pattern (found here: http://ymymmytm.blogspot.com.au/2008/03/kanoko-pants.html). I made also made these from some wool yarn I found in my stash.




I've also been making wash cloths from some brand new cotton yarn I picked up in an op-shop. It's the perfect project to take on the train for school drop offs and pick ups. I've knitted each one in a different pattern, partly because it's fun and partly because it's a good way to try out different stitch patterns. I still have plenty of yarn left so I'll keep at it until I run out, and besides, you can never have too many wash cloths with a little one around.




There are many more things on my to make list, much of my inspiration comes from trawling Pinterest. Here's a link to my profile if you want to check out some awesome patterns and great ideas that I've come across. http://pinterest.com/kariedwards/
