Baby knits

I'm out of town without my knitting (CATASTROPHE!), so decided to post photos of gifts I recently made for my first niece (!) and her older brother.

Crocheted blanket for niece

Pattern: Twirling Pinwheels by Carole Rutter Tippett
Yarn: Bernat Baby Sport Solid in Baby White
Dates: 7 Jan - 11 Feb 2014
Notes: MIT's intersession made it possible to finish in time.

Purple Haze Sweater for niece

Pattern: Baby Sweater on Two Needles by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Yarn: Knit Picks Stroll Tonal in Royalty Tonal
Dates: 17 Feb - 22 Mar 2014
Notes: Would have been done sooner, but I redid the bottom half to avoid pooling.

UMich hobby horse for nephew

Pattern: Hobby Horse by Ann Budd
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Winter Night, Semolina, and Cloud
Dates: 14 Oct 2013 - 27 Mar 2014
Notes: I chose the colors based on his dad's (my brother's) alma mater, but I should've thought twice about adding a wooden pole.
