Lamb Rattle

I designed this cute little cashmere and alpaca rattle from scratch! I am pretty proud of the outcome. This will be a gift to my newborn niece.

Baby Bed

 


This picture shows a good lot of items I have made. In the bag there's the baby blanket made of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Baby. I also made the sheets and the Bumber.

Walter the Bear

 

This guy is ready for the winter! The bear pattern is from The Knitted Teddy Bear. Swater and scarf are my own creations.

Yarn: Lion Brand Yarn 100% wool

Fair Isle Vest

 
 

This pattern is picked up from Vintage Knits. It's cute as a button. The yarn is again Knit Picks Shine Sport.

Rose the Bear

 
 


You've gotta love these overalls! Shiny happy bear is made of Shine Sport. It turned out to be a great bear yarn. This was an item I couldn't put down. I just had to finish it as soon as I picked up the pattern.

Nursery Makeover From Last Winter

 
 


This is not a knitted nursery, but includes a lot of knitted items! I suppose it passes as a handicrafted project as well. Don't you just love before and after hots.

Marakatti Monkey

 
 

Nikolas loves this one. It has gone through some serious drooling, but remained in shape through a regular washing machine cycle.

Yarn: Knit Picks Shine Sport
80% pima cotton, 20 % modal

Bunny Rabbit

 

This was my very first softie for Nikolas. It remains to be my favorite design by Debbie Bliss. I love the attention to detail. Just look at those chubby thighs!

Ladies Lace Socks

 
 

These I finished a while ago. The design is from the lovely pattern book Knitting Vintage Socks.I like this yarn but would love to try Lorna's Laces for similar patterns. However, it's really hard to beat the price for Knit Pick's Essential.

Mr. Monkey

 
 


Here's Mr. Monkey. I think I will add on a tail and suspenders. This guy is mashine washable, so the baby can keep on drooling!

Happy Hat in Red

 
 

This is the same design, with some extra spices.

Infant Cap

 

I am not sure if he likes this one! It's a great cap, though. Silk and alpaca blend never fails to amaze me. So warm and light weight.

Striped Pants and Socks that Kind of Stay on

 

These I made to match. Cute and silky soft. I love this yarn.

Yarn: Knit Picks Gloss70 % merino wool 30% silk

Nikolas' Own Cabled Sweater

 

Here is another Casmerino Aran creation. The cables took forever to knit but I am so happy with the results. This is supersoft and comfy and easy to put on. And... it is machine washable! I have had more than one person stopping me on the street for this one. One person suspected I got it from Neiman Marcus!

Darling Cardigan

 

Here is my darling wearing the cutes coat. The design is from Debbie Bliss' Special Knits. This is propably my favorite yarn ever.

Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerion Aran in Duck Egg.
