Ta-da!

Baby lacy cardi set is done. couldn't find any matching buttons for it, so I went with the pearl ones. I'm happy with it overall. The pattern is from Cleckheaton Little Babies Volume 2. The yarn is Cleckheaton Merino Bambino. Alas, the shade is discontinued.
So now I can wrap it up and mail it off to it's intended recipient.
I've been steadily working on the STYK Pink toddler cardi.

Lovely pattern, lovely yarn.
However, my attention is beginning to stray. How unusual! ;)
Emma posted the other day about receiving a kit from the Kim Hargreaves collection. I should never have clicked the link. I love Glint.

Love it. However, my stash is full to bursting, and I don't have a spare $100 laying around. So I got to thinking. I do have some lovely pink Jo Sharp Silkroad tweed DK. And I discovered this pattern from Cleckheaton.

Now, the silkroad isn't Rowan Summer Tweed, but I think I'll be happy with the end product. If I can get the pattern. I rang the local craft store today, and they don't have it. :(
I'll be out and about tomorrow, so I'll look for it, I think. And then I'll try to resist casting on until I finish the toddler cardi.

The baby set is so pretty! The baby is going to look wonderful in it. And I can't wait to see your bolero! Kisses to Twinkie!

I think the lace outfit looks better in the purple like you did it then in the white in the pattern book.

The STYK todder cardi looks great too!

Man your rabbit is adoreable.
