So, it seems I'll be knitting for two grandsons now. Ashley had her ultrasound yesterday, and it is definitely an unashamed boy! That will be lots of fun for everyone (well, maybe not to big-sister Audrey!) to have two cousins just 6 months apart in age! What are your favorite baby boy patterns and/or yarns?
So, yesterday afternoon I treated myself to some fresh flowers:
Seriously, how does Nature manage to create such color? I'd like to spend the whole day just looking at these tulips. They'd like it, too!
Well, I can look at them while knitting on this beauty:
Patina by Rick Mondragon from Knitter's magazine, Spring 2010. Sally of String of Purls (also of the Big Louie post) made this bolero as a shop project. Then Judy whipped up one. Now I'm hooked. It's a lovely, speedy-to-knit project. A squared-off bolero. No fuss, but has a perfect fit. I'm following the size medium directions for the number of stitches, but the size large for row count so the ribbing doesn't fall right across my chest. Sally changed up the colors just a bit to match what the shop currently had in stock. (Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine - color 1293, Lane Borgosesia Toreador - color 104, Berroco Lumina - color 1610, color 1618, color 1605, color 1620)
Gotta run. My stomach is growling for lunch and the tulips are feeling neglected!
Big congrats for the new male addition! So excited for them (and you!)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law is expecting a boy, too. She is due October 2nd. This is their second boy, so they have pretty much all the boy stuff they need.
ReplyDeleteWow. Another boy! Those two cousins are going to have a great time together!
