I just remembered this little vest the other day. It's almost too small - he's growing so fast. This is knit from some handspun that I've had for years. If I can remember correctly it's 100% merino wool. I double-plied it to get worsted weight yarn. There was enough of it for this project. Perfect colors for a little boy.
The blood oranges have been great this season. After our bout with the sniffles I made sure we stocked up on citrus. Pretty in pictures!
I'm going to cast on for another - bigger - one of these soon!

Love that giggly looking shot of him. I have never tried a blood orange, I see them in the supermarket from the USA, but they don't smell fresh like normal ranges. One day maybe.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie! Blood oranges taste different than regular oranges too - I think they taste like a cross between an orange, a pomegranate and a cranberry. I didn't really like them either until a few years ago.
DeleteYour vest is a beautiful knit! And such a beautiful model! Thank you so much for sharing the link with me. I will definitely have to knit a second after the first in a handspun variegated--you've inspired me. I love blood oranges myself, but I made the mistake of eating one a couple weeks ago and my baby had a horrible horrible string of days afterwards. I did it again and same reaction in him. No more delicious oranges for me for awhile. And of course now my craving for them is off the charts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy boy! I love the scrunchy face!
