So soon!

As I said in another post, I knew that I would make the Latte Baby Sweater again sometime. But I didn't expect it to be so soon!

Now two new colours are ready for the stripes - a contrast for the edges is yet to be found. This time I will add a few stitches to the body and maybe a row of stripes or two.

And all this because of Agnes' sweet little face, who popped up in our mailbox yesterday. How can I not make her a striped sweater?

Latte Baby Sweater - part 2

The knitting of the baby sweater is done, and I'm left with the not so funny part of knitting. The ends must be weaved in!

I'm also going to crochet along the neckline, while including some buttonhole loops.

The buttons have not yet gotten their shape or colour, but at least I know that it's not going to be any of the colours I used for the yarn.

Sadly I think that Agnes is a bit too big for the sweater, but luckily we know several women who are expecting little baby girls. So I'm not worried about finding a recipient.

I know for sure that I will knit from this pattern again...in fact I know a little newborn Karl who could use a little sweater with stripes.


It has been far too long ago...

 I can tell from looking at their website, that they have made so many gorgeous  new things. The lemon and applebowls would look great in my kitchen, and so would the little pink pig cup.

I'm so fond of the hen bowls which I have bought at Lange Keramik some years ago - they are a continuous source of joy in our house. How lovely it must be to be able to make peole smile and get happy whenever they see one's work.
