Elephant Snuggle (crochet)

My cousin is expecting a baby and, after browsing their registry, I noticed a lot of elephant-themed items. So I had to find something elephant-related that I could gift for their shower. 🙂

Purple Diaper Cover / Soaker, NB (knitting)

Trying this project again with slightly smaller needles to see if I can get a tighter fabric. I’m OK with the project being slightly smaller than the first one.

Because my last one used almost exactly 100g of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, I decided to use a complementary purple partial skein for the waist and leg cuffs, and a full skein for the body. I expect a very small amount of leftover yarn.

Done! And it looks SO much better than my last diaper cover — changing the needle size (and actually using a 16” circular vs fudging it with magic loop) really seemed to help keep the ribbing nice and stretchy.

I ended up with scrap yarn of the partial dark purple ball I had (I lost the label, so the actual color is a mystery), and had about half the ball of Amethyst by the end. I used the teensy weensy scrap of Tidepool Heather from my first diaper cover as an accent before doing the ribbing.

Used a 100g ball of Knit Picks WoTA almost EXACTLY. I was really pushing it with the leg cuffs, but I just barely made it. Next time I will use a complementary color on the waistband and leg cuffs – which also means I can get longer legs too.

It has been lanolized, and repels water (even with what looked like it was a too-loose weave with the pattern gauge)!

Now to sew on a button for the umbilical snap-down >.<

Button has been sewn, and it’s officially done!

Baby Flax (knitting)

This newborn sweater surprised me by just BARELY working up using just a single 100g ball of Knit Picks Mighty Stitch.

Took me a while to finish because I had to wait for my US6 and US8 DPNs to arrive.
