Butterfly Baby Sweater (simplified top-down one piece cardigan for self-striping sock yarn)
Remember my post about pictures of knitting in sunlight? I think it’s about time I post a few finished photos to go with that, isn’t it? The project was a baby sweater, again for baby V, who probably qualifies as a toddler now that she’s, well, toddling! My pattern is based off Eyelet Baby Cardigan…

Sheep Hat
Another baby gift! This one I made just because I thought the pattern was adorable: My picture isn’t great, but… 1. Little sheep feet in the grass! 2. Adorable sheepy texture! 3. 3-D sheep head! 4. Perky sheep ears! And my favourite: 5. Puffy little tail! Pattern This one came from a book called 60…

“Best” baby sock?
This is a baby gift that got photographed and then I forgot to blog about it once the gift was received. Unfortunately, I’ve also forgotten the pattern! I think it was called “best baby sock” and touted how it was the one that would stay on the most determined of babies. I don’t suppose that…

Pi Baby Sweater
A couple of the lovely friends I met through Mathsoc announced they were expecting a child, and I knew immediately what I wanted to send to the shower. Since math nerd baby clothes aren’t exactly the sort of thing one picks up at toys-r-us, I spent a lot of time at PyCon knitting up a…

Pictures of knitting in sunlight (a work in progress)
I don’t tend to share work-in-progress shots for a few reasons: 1. I knit a lot on the go, where it’s not too convenient to take pictures. 2. I am really really bad at processing all my photos, and more of them just adds to the laod. 3. I just don’t think of it. But…

Vampire Sleeves (sort of a shrug?)
I was out shopping one day with a friend and saw this book: Vampire Knits: Projects to Keep You Knitting from Twilight to Dawn by Genevieve Miller I didn’t buy it right then, because I didn’t know how to knit and wasn’t sure what I’d do with it, but apparently it stuck with me because…

Warthog9’s blue gloves
John and I have been playing an augmented reality game called Ingress for some time. The reason this is relevant to this post is twofold: 1. We spend a lot of time walking around outside in the cold using our smart phones 2. We’re on the blue team. I have some lovely purple gloves I…

Little Fox Tail
When my friend K announced that he and his wife were expecting their first child, I threatened to make an inordinate number of animal hats for the kid. The first of these turned out to be a Failynn Fox Cowl, which while adorable, is also much too big for a newborn no matter what the…

Leafy sweater for Baby O’Byrne
This little leafy sweater is a present for Baby O’Byrne, whose name is a secret until she makes it out into the world. She was due a few days ago as I’m writing this; I’m just waiting for the announcement of her arrival! I’ve scheduled this post to go up on May 31st, and we’ll…

Knitted Finger Moustache
Today’s project does double-duty as both a knitting project and a photo assignment: a knitted finger moustache and a self portrait for Active Assignment Weekly.
