Divinely Crafty

For a sweet wee babe born to a client. Just a mere 4lb 2oz (at full term!) she is the tiniest babe I have ever held in my arms. Healthy and happy… just small. (And happily plumping up quite nicely thanks to her mama’s magic milk.) Made of Rowan All Seasons Cotton. No pattern, just winged it. Baby’s head is about the size of a small orange, but alas it is not orange season so I had none to try it on for size. Luckily Miss Marrow was happy to lend her services. A perfect fit!

Its not my first soaker, but it is the first I have made in years. The last one was when my Anja was a wee babe. She’s in Year 1 at school now. :::sheds tear:::

Pure wool DK Weight dyed by me. Not sure how it looks on your screen, but on mine it seems a bit brighter than in reality. It is a very subtle variagation of pinks,oranges,yellow and white. Very sweet. It makes me think of a sweet little flower petal. Perfect to make a soaker for a new little blossom baby.

It was supposed to be my grand vacation project, but as luck would have it, I was too busy enjoying my holiday to get much work done. But here it is nonetheless. My Norwegian Shawl in progress. This sucker goes on forever! Starting out with 568 stitches, working in lace weight (which I have double stranded)….

I will be lucky to get it done by next spring, but it will be well worth it I am sure!

Yarn is a wool silk blend in a light heathered grey/green and darker heathered blueish color. It reminds me of sage and juniper. So pretty.
