Thanks! I love the texture also. The yarn is an interesting thick & thin spin (mostly thin). It was fun to knit, and felt wonderful flowing through my fingers. Each row added a teeny bit to the length, because the yarn was so thin. But, I just love the finished fabric!
I’m hoping that simple is what the baby’s parents want. I wish I had been able to knit when my boys were little. I would definitely have made a top like this for them. (with a different embellishment, of course!) :teehee:
Thanks Jan! When I got that yarn, I couldn’t decide what I would make with it. Then, when I looked through that vintage pattern book, I glanced over and saw that yarn…BINGO!
Thank you! I’ve been doing embroidery since I was a young girl. I think it’s best to do a small bit of embroidery, to keep it looking clean and bright. I considered doing a blanket stitch all along the edges, but decided that would not look right. I’m very happy with the little blossom.
Quick and simple - just my sort of project. The little flower is brilliant!
I’m not sure if you’d have had much time to knit when your boys were younger if you knew how to then. Mind you, I [I]did[/I] manage to knit a [I]little[/I] bit for my daughter.
Thank you all so much!
And Tamar…you’re right. I would NOT have had time to knit a single thing for them. :teehee: I did manage to crochet a baby bag for my youngest, but he outgrew it the first week. :roll:
GrandmaLori, I LOVE that book. It is filled to the brim with lots of knitting patterns. I have a lot of vintage knitting books, and am always amazed at how many patterns are in them.
