La Vie Boheme

Eeks! I finished something!

buttons

Pattern: Boheme by Allegra Wermuth (Ravelry)
Size: 6 months
Yarn: Rowan Magpie (aran)
Needle: Size 7
Mods: I skipped out on the lace, lost count on my increases and did a 4 st garter border around the whole thing. The buttons are vintage, given to me by a friend from her grandmother’s sewing box… perfect.

I’m really happy with the results! I hope this will keep Cassie warm, but not too warm as the cooler air starts to blow in. I knit at a slightly tighter tension to make it more like a coat. Another one is already in progress for a friend’s baby, due in November.

A couple other random shots to keep you entertained. This one is a stash shot for Ravelry (Hempathy, Elsebeth Lavold), but check out what’s going on in the background. Maia is giving ol’ Joey (17) some love. Because, “she is OUR tiger”.

Cassie loves to sleep with something over her face. Mostly this giraffe…

Adorable! It’ll be so cute on Cassie with a little long-sleeved tee or onesie underneath. Love it!
