Finally I finished something

Santa was starting to act all anxious already and said I'll run out of time with 14 WIPs. Something about thinking too much of oneself and being overly ambitious? Go figure...

My nephew's sweater is done. I found these 50 % cotton / 50 % acrylic balls for 1€ per piece and the yarn is perfect for children's clothing. Easy to wash, dries quickly and is not so expensive you want to cry when the sweater is suddenly too small after two weeks of use.

I am not all that satisfied, I should have used smaller needles.

Sweater for a 2-year-old
Pattern: Runaround Raglan (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Samos Lollipop
Needles: 5mm
Buttons: Little shanked buttons from my LYS

This is the next thing Santa needs to worry about:

Baby Cables

I love the Baby Cables and Big Ones Too pattern! I've knit it for five balls of yarn now and loved almost every minute.






I also got the yarn for the Green Gables hoodie. I LOVE the autumn. Hate the weather, hate the fact that the winter is coming... but love the bulky yarns, woolly socks, scarves and mittens.
