A baby blanket for my friend, Tina's little girl, Abby

When my friend, Rita, gifted me with some beautiful yellow cotton yarn I started swatching right away.  After a little fooling around, I remembered a sweater pattern I had begun years ago with a wool yarn.  This side-to-side sweater was fun to work on, and I decided it would be pretty in yellow cotton.

Unfortunately, as I later learned, seed stitch in cotton is known to grow!
And the sweater ended up too big for me, but fit my friend, Karen, perfectly.
As far as I know she is still wearing it.

Here's a little dress I made for my niece, Rhiannon.  See the original pattern here (I changed it, of course): http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring04/TTanouk.html

Three yarns--the red was a fine mercerized cotton I had on a cone, the green is Calypso DK that I won  at TKGA in July, and the purple was a purchase.  They were all slightly different weights; the red is knit doubled.  Size 5 US needle.  Finished this in Sept. of 2006, on vacation in Nova Scotia. I found the perfect buttons in a tiny knitting shop in Cape Breton.
