Mina little star sweater

It first started here,  inspired when my little cousin Mina was born.

This little star sweater is ultra soft in pure merino lace yarn.

Pure joy on delicate little baby skin.

Light weight but very warm just over a onesie.

I enjoyed designing the little star sweater with little details 

like a shinning star and helbow patches,

it is also easy to put on with a shoulder opening.

Yarn, Malabrigo lace, color Pearl ten and natural

Pattern, my own, currently in testing

Size, 3 to 6 months

I picked the pearl color and the smaller size for the first sweater 

but they should soon come in 5 colors and 

4 sizes (3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months)

Baby tiger booties

Pattern available 

Adorable 100% fine merino handknit booties, light grey color with Liberty of London ribbon (Meadow purple, red or Capel Mustard). 

Keeping baby feet warm and cosy is essential especially in the first days of a baby life. Ribbon will assure the booties are still one even if baby is on the move. 

Knitted in the round from top, cable cuff first, then top of the foot and finally finishing with the sides and the sole. 

I tried to avoid seaming as often as possible, to provide more comfort for babies.

Christmas gift, part 2

This christmas I had a lot of gifts to knit. My sister got addicted to the show "Once upon a time", so we went on a search of Emma, Ruby and Mary Margaret hat patterns.

First we went for Mary Margaret beret, easily finding a free pattern on Ravelry

I used Malabrigo worsted, US 8 needles.

Second she wanted Ruby's beret but in a cherry color.

Free pattern on Ravelry

I couldn't find the right color so I decided to dye it myself with Kool-aid.

(3 packages of Cherry and 1 Black cherry, for 200 yards of Cascade Cash vera, microwave process)

I simply love the color even if the picture is a bit bright due to the Instagram filter.
