Update; Little Red FO...



Question: How long does something have to be in your stash to be considered stash yarn? Is there a requisite period of time that must lapse? Cuz technically, I knit this from stash yarn, which would mean that I have now a 3rd stash project finished.

I had a lot of the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino left over from my tubey, so I used some to knit this, about three balls or so. Oh, and it's a Debbie Bliss pattern too, Shawl Collar Sweater from Essential Baby. Our laptop isn't very big, so perhaps it might give you an idea of scale. Anyhow, a couple of my regulars expressed interest in seeing a finished product, so I didn't want to keep anyone waiting! A very cute little knit.

PS: If you look closely, you'll be able to see where I am missing my one key, as it was brought up in our last Knit Nite meeting.

Until later...

I am loving it ... too cute! It looks so grown up , but tiny ... aww! it will nice for a little baby. I think that if the yarn has been in your house for more than 2 days ... it is stash (or if it was leftover from another project, or bought without a pattern in mind for it -- I have a very loose definition of stash.

Congrats on finishing it -- it is absolutely adorable.

Very cute! I wish I had a little girl to knit for. But I am making the 4-month-old nephew a really cute sweater for Easter. (Although it's 12 months, so he'll have to grow into it.)

I reminded nephew about Thursday night. Only three more left, then they're graduates! (Tho I don't think Jewel will graduate with honors. She has very selective hearing in the great wide open.)

That's a sweet little sweater!
And how often do you really use that 1 key??!! :)

Oh my, it's not at all what I thought it was going to be. I had imagined girly and kimono-esq for some bizarre reason! (I was probably channeling one my wish list projects through you)

Definitely a bit nautical and I bet it is sooo soft! Adorable!

Seeing you going on about your 1 woes, I thought I would remind you about the number key pad you can get fairly reasonably.
