His name is Félix and he is the cutest little baby boy I've seen in a while (and maybe because he's my cousin's kid? who knows!)
He was born June 16th 2010 and aaaaaaw he makes me want my own baby. And I know that when we do find out we're pregnant... I'll go into full blown nesting mode and make our baby a FULL wardrobe as soon as we found out.
ANYWAY! I got obsessed with making baby items - mostly because they're so cute AND they take no time at all to make. I made him some booties, thumb less mittens and 2 hats. 1 was made out of 100% organic cotton and the other with baby synthetic yarn.
Here's a photo of his new digs. :)
Love it!Also.. I realized I could actually follow a pattern and make stuff other than scarves.. so I attempted to learn how to knit cables. AND, it actually is SO easy... which is surprising because I had this huge fear for years about attempting anything out of my comfort zone. I guess it's a lesson learned: try new things and it may just turn out good :)
So this is my current project - a Quick Cabled Cowl :) I'm making it with Linen Wool Ease yarn by Lion Brand and it's knitting up fairly quickly.
Here's a photo of my current project :)
