A Cardi for Esme

I knit this for my dear friends' daughter who is turning 1 soon. My favorite parts are the embellishments, the crochet contrast edging, the heirloom buttons and the crochet flower.

Debbie Bliss baby sweater

She is pretty much the queen for designing cute baby things, but I do find her projects overly fiddly.  This one is adorable but had a surprising amount of knitting for a 0-6m size!  Ella Rae 100% wool.

 

More cricket love

Mountain colors bearfoot with some Frogtree merino alpaca yarn on a 10 dent reed. Very lacy drapey fabric.

Loved the yarn but it crocked!! Had to dowse it with vinegar to stop the bleeding.

Luckily, that worked. Whew.

I (heart) my Schacht cricket loom!

Things are going smoothly! This puppy was easy to put together and I warped directly on with no problems.

Warp here is Bearfoot Mountain Colors and some soft Frogtree alpaca merino.

Weaving - I never thought it would be easy, but I never thought it could go this badly either.

No shed:

 
I keep separating with a needle, it's killing me.

Oh, and all that separating is causing the strands to go wonky, so now when I beat down, it isn't straight:

 

And did I mention that one of my warp strings broke and I don't know how to fix it despite reading 3 different sets of instructions multiple times?

Multnomah shawl

In Handmaiden cashlana. For me this time since mom got the first one.

Mmm, that 10% cashmere really makes this sumptuous. Figue colorway.
