Somehow, I managed to finish this fab little project in two days. Oh wait, MJ had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpas… that’s how.

hood

Yarn: Manor Silk Blends (3106)
Needles: sz 4 dpns and circ

This is a little hood with collar for unborn daughter #2. All it needs is a toggle button by October or November of this year :)

The pattern can be found at Brooklyn General (store only for now, sorry) and is intended to be knit with the store’s brand name 2-ply cashmere. But I just couldn’t resist this Manos Silk Blend. For some reason, whenever I buy Manos, it’s this same colorway.

Very cute! I want one for me - it’s FREEZING outside today. Totally worth a trip to BG for this pattern…

You know, I’ve stopped by Brooklyn General three times and they’ve always been close (my fault for not checking the hours. I just stop by when I happen to be in the area.) Maybe me and BG just have some bad mojo…or maybe it’s my wallet sending out vibes to thwart my stash-enhancing plans. My goal is to make it there one day to go go inside and not just press my nose up against the glass from the outside.

Oh Ive been waiting to see this yarn knit up, so pretty! I think I might finally have to jump on the Manos bandwagon!
