Opptuna and Kid Mohair
April 18th, 2005
I finished Opptuna over the weekend, AND knitted up some baby booties, too! I used the 1 hour baby booties pattern in stitch-n-bitch nation. It really only did take one hour to make both of them. I love me a quick knit. I love the way Opptuna turned out. So sweet and frostingy. And so small and cute. Here’s a closeup of the booties.
While I was at the lys I couldn’t resist buying some kid mohair. Judy is making Ultra Femme from SnB Nation and has been tempting me with her Colinette mohair. I’ve been eyeing it and thinking that, perhaps, that cute little tunic, To Dye For in SnB would be really cute. So while I was at the lys buying buttons I happened upon the mohair section and found some that was soooo soft. so I just went ahead and bought it. I casted on for the sweater Saturday and am already about halfway done with the back. Yep. I loves me a quick knit.
Have a good week, everyone!

Very nice!! How many hanks of the Colinette do you think it will take to make to dye for? I still have the two plum ones that I won’t be using for the top of the lacy top.

Oh My! What a squishy, cutey & cuddly baby sweater & booties! Just adorable.
I love that sweater in the SnB. The bell sleeves are fab! Looking forward to seeing your progress. The colors are so gorgeous!
