I finally have my baby kimono ready.
Today I finished embroidering the tiny pink roses and the green leaves. I didn't want to be quite plain so I think this small detail came in just nice. The little baby princess has an older sister and I want to send something for her too and I am considering a knitted scarf or a headband.
Back to Lion Brand. I am currently obsessed by this.
Isn't this gorgeous? And it is also for free.
That's why I like sewing more. You draft the pattern, cut the pieces, sew them together and you have a piece of clothing in a jiffy. With knitting it is a totally different issue. You have to work laboriously and for a long time (and curse a bit when you realize after a bazillion rows that you've made a mistake) to actually make something presentable.

Maya, it's absolutely precious. I love the colour you chose.
PS {I also love your obsession.}
but knnitting is so fun!! And in the winter so cozy!!! :)
The baby kimono is beautiful and the embroidery detail makes a big difference.
I'll say go on with your obsession!
;)
oh, i love the sweater! i just might try it myself, although i'm not very good with knitting and after my last attempt to do something which i couldn't get going properly, i'm feeling a little put off by knitting. i also love the grown-up sweater. i'd love to see what you do with it! :) lisa
Thanks for the link! That is a beautiful cardigan, you really should make it! I am knitting a pullover at the moment - it does take so much time!
Fantastic your baby kimono. I love the color that you chose! I love knitting too. When my daughter was a little baby I knitted a lot of sweaters for her. It was fun!
Lolo :-)
I found your blog through Papgena Made it and have enjoyed looking around. I particulary love your brooches and necklaces; beautiful!
And yes, do join in on the napkin challenge.-)
Wonderful work!
Please, tell me I didn't just read what you said about knitting as I am just beginning - and trying to convince myself it is soooo long and slow before I get to sse the result ;-)
That cardigan is super cute! Go for it!
Oh Nat, but it's the truth. It does take so long until you get to the end. Especially with the work load I get stuck every day.
Although no sewing can be compared with a quiet winter night in the coziness of my armchair and the presence of my little family, with a knitting project on the needles!
I agree! I like sewing so much more then knitting! I tried, but I can never finish, it takes way too long, then you look at the piece and think, why did I want this?
Thanks for stopping by Sand to Pearl
and your necklaces are adorable. I really need to make myself some again, but every time I wear them Little Man tries to rip them off.
