Knitting updates

My needles have been very busy this year. The Easy Baby Aran referenced here turned out really cute. I guess the reason they call it an easy aran is because there's only one place where you do any actual cabling. The rest of the textured effects are just done with knits and purls.

I made another of the little hoodies, this time with the alterations I'd considered as I followed the instructions the first time. The little guy is still much too small in it, but his mom got a pic of him wearing it all the same. :)

I came across a pattern for Hello Kitty pants (on Boing Boing? Epbot? can't remember) and I thought they were adorable. So I made those for another friend's baby.

I made a cardi with a leaf pattern down the button band for another friend.

That was a top-down, raglan pattern. I really liked how the sleeve caps looked when I separated those stitches and continued down the body, so I decided to make another top-down raglan, but in short sleeve (and a pullover, not a cardi).

I'm holding on to this one for a little while, because the HOT Fair is coming up and this is the only completed garment I still have.

I've put a bit more work into the Elizabeth of York jacket in between baby garments, but I'm still only on the first piece. Fingering weight yarn and size 1 needles don't make for a speedy project!

    [...] Just about six weeks ago one of my cousins had twin baby girls, Maisie and Annabelle. I only found out he and his wife were pregnant about a month earlier. He's not the best letter/email writer. Anyway, I've been knitting steadily since I first found out. I decided to make them each a pair of the Hello Kitty pants. I had enough yarn left from the first pair to make two more, if I did the smallest size, though I ended up having to swap the order of the two pinks in the second pair, so I'd have enough of the dark pink to finish. I also made them each one of the Baby Arans. [...]
