Knitting :0)

I FINALLY have some finished objects to share! I have been so busy with so many things lately, that knitting hasn't been on the top of the list (unfortunately). But, I have got to get moving or my gift knitting will never meet all of the deadlines it has!

So, I present, the first finished object:


Pattern: Baby Bolero
Source: One Skein by Leigh Radford
Yarn: Lion Brand Cotton Ease in Terra Cotta (less than one skein, enough left for a pair of booties, to follow)
Needles: Denise Interchangeables Size 8 and 9



I LOVED this pattern. It worked up quite quickly, which is good, since there are innumerable babies coming into the world around me! None for me, thanks, I have two.



The Cotton Ease was also really nice to knit with. My biggest complaint? The center pull skein didn't work. At all. I spent a lot of time fighting with the yarn. But once freed, it knit beautifully.



I put in the motif, and I really like it. It is very subtle. The only change I made was to add another round of ribbing to the edge because I felt like it matched the sleeves better (another blogger noted this, and I agreed).

More to come!
