One for the Girls...

 
hello!
 
the week's rolling on
&
already it's tuesday.
it seems to me that with the cooler days
the pace of working days heats up!
 
no longer do we have the laid back days of summer warmth...
that slowed down holiday atmosphere
that permeates through til march around here.
 
 
 
i started my winter preparations early
with knitting scarves and beanies.
lately i've been practising baby boy beanies
but i've been eyeing off those sweet pink yarns as well.
 
i said 'Lord, please send me a few baby girls to knit for too!'
...and He did.
 
 
 
last weekend
i was at the local shopping centre enjoying a cappucino
and along came a friend
with her daughter and granddaughter in tow.
 
miss emma is 8 months old.
i asked whether i could knit her a beanie
and she agreed to let me.
 
 
 
i've knitted her two.
i hope they fit....or i'll just have to practise some more..hehe!
 
by the way this pattern is called 'spicchi'
by barbara aroldi
&
is available on ravelry...size 40cm head.
{free download}
 
i have added a bit more width and height on this one for a slightly bigger head.
 
 
i must say
i'm having fun with pink...
i'll show you more next time.
 
hoping your tuesday is terrific too...

  2. I have to admit to a slight weakness for all things pink, and your beanie is no exception! It's just so sweet and I'm sure it will be much loved by its new owner.
    Have a lovely week - it's warming up here and I'm getting into that holiday mode you mention :-)
