Wrap Around for little e


Wrap Around for little e. It's knitted using Rowan lenpur linen ($9.45 a skein) and it took two skeins. After I washed it, it felt like heave wet grass, but dried beautifully. I'm glad that this one is not up to the neck because little e likes to put everything around her mouth into her mouth.

Little e is 16" around the chest and this wrap around is 18. Hopefully, it's enough but not too much to use as a layer and over dresses.

Classic Cardigan for little e


April

On April 5, 2010, I sent this sweater and hat to little e. I got the yarn, Little Lehigh Pebbles, 45% cotton and 55% acrylic at the Birmingham knitting shop.


A skein was $6.45, made in Pennsylvania, machine and tumble dry. It knits at 22 stitches per 4". It took three skeins but I have enough left over to make another hat if this one doesn't fit.


The sweater size is 0 to 6 months and the hat is 6 months to 9 months.
Since I had a little bit of yarn left, I knitted booties and sent them to her on April 15, 2010.


After I washed it in Woollight it was nice and soft.
