My Experiments in Knitting: 2

Hope all of you lovely ladies (and gents) are doing good. Its been long since I posted here anything. There were many reasons and without going into that detail, I would prefer to show my new creation: A sweater for 'C'.

 

I had bought wool 2-3 years back and kid has grown since then, so you can easily notice I've used fur wool at some places. 

I had planned to use crochet and knitting together for this. After two strips of crochet in front, I got bored of slow process. So crochet strips are in front only (Originally I had planned them for sleeves also).

 

Overall, I'm happy with whole look. 'C'  wanted 'G.one' on it (kids latest obsession). I tried but ended up writing 'Gone'. Does not matter as he is happy with this 'G.one'. And I'm happy with his liking for his new sweater.

My Experiments in Knitting: 1

I do not know knitting much except for simple knitting style. I can not make designs unless somebody tells me how to make it. And I can not decipher knitting language also. Even with so limited knowledge, once in a while I venture into this domain and try to make sweaters, socks etc. for 'C'. Here is one sweater I had made and designed (I make up for design disadvantage by adding embroidery/ready made stickers/colours) four years back. 'C' was about 3 yrs. old and it came out very well.

Here is back view of the sweater:

Sorry for bad quality of this pic, I cropped it from a video in which kids are running. Here is a good one with front view:

I used three colors furry wool in this knit: light blue, black and light pink. On the front, I embroidered big heart shape and random alphabets. On one side of heart added two cloth stickers. One of the sticker is not clearly visible.
Since it was done four years back, now I only have photographs as my records. Sweater is long gone to a deserving one. It feels nostalgic to see it now. This was my first sweater for my little boy and I can vouch, it was the best. I had put in my heart:-) and mind into it.

Baby Pillow Cases

 I recently made some pillow cases for my sister's son. Used cotton material to make them. To add designs painted alphabets on one, embroidered other and added only lace to third one. I'll let the pictures do rest for me (pictures were taken from a mobile camera, so not very quality pictures)...........
