While on a recent holiday I picked up a copy of Amanda Keeys Baby Beanie Book. It could have been the highlight of my whole trip I think!
I knit this beanie up for Possum in two days. With two small children any project that can be finished in that time frame is very exciting.
Knitting in 8ply on 5.5mm needles made this come together so fast. I just used remnant wool from the leftover stash stuff Mum bought over. I could not find 5.5mm dpn's anywhere in town so the Mr chopped up a plastic pair of needles and carved points for me and they worked a treat!
I have just cast on a new hat for the Boy child. I am really excited about this book. The projects are wonderful, the photography is fantastic and I can't say enough good things about it. BUY THIS BOOK!!
It looks gorgeous! cant wait to see the boy version.
ReplyDeleteLove it - what a great idea with the sraights - you have a hand Mr:)
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the beanies in that book - Have often thought to get it if I ever see it:)
Fabulous. I love the colours. What a gorgeous hat. You are so clever.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stuff! :) Your daughter is too cute. Thanks for the lovely plug.
ReplyDeleteP.s You can find 5.5mm dpns at most yarn shops. I get mine online 'cause I had a heck of a time finding them when I was just teaching myself to knit!
The hat is just adorable, I love the colours you've used.
ReplyDeleteMy dad has made me dpns the same way. The hat is gorgeous - beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteI've made a few hats out of that book too and was very impressed with the simplicity of the patterns... I love the one that you made and the 'Mr' sure is one handy guy turning those straights into dpn's for you, what a clever idea..
ReplyDeleteTake Care
Jodie :)
It's a very cool hat. The book is officially added to my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteYour gorgeous girl looks even more gorgeous-er in her gorgeous hat Becky!
