Maybe we should talk about crafting then. Blogger friend and fellow crafter, Mazhalai, is having a baby (yeah!) boy and this is what I made for the little fellow.
Stashbusting is the new name of the game. I had 1.5 skeins from the Blue project, and this worked just fine for this baby kimono. I just made the sleeves shorter.
This is a super easy project and of course, it has got to be top down. (I think I am officially a top down snob.) I didnt have two identical buttons in my stash so I used what I had. Well, babies can carry off all kinds of fashion.
Pattern: Baby Kimono Wrap
Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton, 1.5 skeins
Hook: 5mm
Size: 6 months
Modifications:
1. The yarn was too heavy for hdc, so I did the entire project in dc.
2. Worked the sleeves until I ran out of yarn.
