This took longer than I intended, what with our busy summer and near-constant company. It was supposed to take a couple of days and wound up taking over a month. But she really loves it, and it was easy. I was so afraid of sewing it up that I had the finished pieces done for almost a week before I seamed them together.

My knitting tote is sitting in the living room mocking me. It's stuffed full of yarn, most of it designated for projects that I can't seem to find time to do. I haven't knit a stitch since before Piper was born, and that particular project (a very cute bonnet that reminded me of marshmallow fluff) has been misplaced in the moving shuffle so I can ( Read more... )
