Goldfish shorties for Declan:






A few soakers:






And a pair of capris:


I have a medium soaker and a newborn sized pair of longies on the needles right now. I'm itching to cast on a scrappy project so Declan may get scrappy shorties this weekend.

Felted Easter Basket

I started this project the day before Easter thinking I would be able to get it done in time to use as decor for Easter Dinner. It didn't happen. Ha ha! I actually finished it up on the Tuesday after Easter.

Knit from all scraps in singly ply merino, 3 ply merino, BFL, and Licorice Twist.
