AND HERE IT IS IN RED! (In Progress)

I thought I'd show you what this little Cabin Fever no-sew sweater project looks like on the needles. It looks all scary and stuff, right? Well despite the sleeve being on 3 dpn's (a practice which I heretofore eschewed) I have to say it still beats sewing up seams at the end of a project when all you want is to see it finished and gloat. So anyway, here's the red, which I think is turning out pretty nice even if I do say so myself. I should have this set done by the end of the week. Okay, maybe THEN I'll get back to the socks...

Joy in knitting and procrastinating...

AND HERE IT IS IN GOLD
I'M A LITTLE STAR!
I like to call this one "I'm a Little Star" because, obviously, of the little buttons. It is identical to the turquoise one shown below and was equally as much fun to make. Cabin Fever is my Friend!

TOP DOWN CARDIGAN FOR NEWBORN

This little gem is a pattern by Cabin Fever whose specialty, as you may or may not know, is no-sew creations.


I am in love with this technique - seriously! No sewing. Gotta love it. This little creation was started on Sunday night - that's two nights ago. It's done and ready to wear. Knit in one piece. Love it. I got the pattern from The Purple Purl in Toronto, together with the Cabin Fever Tweed DK and cast on as soon as I got home.

I think this might must be my favourite pattern to make for newborns. Check out the little lady bug buttons.
