Year of Projects: A Knitting Post

A few weeks have gone by since I posted any knitting projects and that's mainly because one of my projects has been in the "need to block" stage. 

I finally finished and blocked out the Comfort Wrap for my friend and I am in love. I will be knitting this pattern again!


I used 4 skeins of Berroco Vintage Chunky in the ruby color way. This yarn doesn't really seem bulky weight to me, can anyone else chime in? The wrap is very cozy and hoping it brings lots of warmth and comfort to my friend. 

(BIG shout out to my mother-in-law and hubby for their awesome landscaping work!)


I also finished this Newborn Pig Hat and Diaper Cover. I made up the hat and the diaper cover pattern can be found here


Finally, I whipped up a quick cowl! Weather here in MN has almost felt Fall-like some days and I can't help but be excited about Fall knitting!

  4. Um wow, you've been busy! That piglet set is just adorable ... look at that wee curly tail! Awesome. And what a lovely wrap. I've just knit some Berroco Vintage DK and it's really quite drapey isn't it? I was looking at the Chunky with Umaro in mind.
