Chicken #2 - big mama
Chicken #1 not terrible but very lopsided
Bff's second baby clothes
Found this cute converse pattern.
I just did an eyelet tube and then narrowed for shoulders. No pattern.
Looked up generic baby hat sizes and just did a stockinette with purl walls, and variegated yarn for the top.
I just read free baby cardigan pattern after pattern and did this somewhat by eye. I counted stitches to make sure the chevron would be right, so that would have been enough of a modification alone to really make a difference in sizing except that it's a baby. It's squishy.
Luggage identifier tags
I despise trying to pick out which bags are our luggage from baggage claim. They all look the same. Constantly getting faked out!
Decided to use the same stich as the cheetoh shawl.
Cotton Merino vest for hubby
Base: Berroco's Peter Easy
The yarn is beautifully variegated so just stockinette might actually be cleanest and simple pretty enough.
Blue Aarni Mens pullover + outfit

Sirdar cashmere merino silk blend in china blue. I bought 20 balls. I ended up having to buy one or two more to finish the scarf.

Hat#4
There's so many strange old fashioned barely more than html old AF knitting pattern sites.
This simple hat pattern is apparenly an archived version of a tropicalyarns website which may have existed in the stone age. Don't get me wrong it's written like (very) old fashioned knitting articles in newspapers and magazines.
This is a 96 stch hat.
