A little knitting

It's been quite a while since I posted anything about knitting -- although there has been some going on in the background.

Here are two little projects I completed this weekend....



Baby Surprise Jacket (infant sized)

Details: Batika, size 4 circular needle


Seamless Infant Kimono (0-6 mos)

(Needs to be blocked, still)

Details: Dream in Color Classy, size 6 and 8 needles



I was pleased with how both turned out. I struggled with EZ's pattern, but now that I've completed it, and I know what she was going for, I get it! The next one will be a piece of cake. The seamless infant kimono pattern is quite simple. Quick, easy knit.
