Cotton Tank

Description from Vogue Knitting: "A deep cable rib and a center cable that flows to sweet shoulder straps". Yeah, I do admit the straps are kinda sweet, hee hee. Overall the project was quite enjoyable... I love the cable ribbing, but I find cotton very hard on my hands.

Josie

My frumpbuster piece. This used to be a vest, but the yarn was this really cheap nylon/poly-something that was hard, scratchy and dusty. However, working 2 strands together gave a nice thick fabric perfect for a bag.

Mr. T II & Ms. Bunnie

From Last Minute Knitted Gifts, I really enjoyed knitting these two suckers and the glass beads eyes make them look sooo innocent!... It took about 6 hours for each, which is quick and easy. Pretty soon, they will need clothes... but then again, I think they look cuter naked!

Baby Blanket

For a baby whose gender is still a secret, this blanket was knit using a crochet pattern. My calculations failed a bit, which explains why the blanket is only half the intended size. Luckily, it's still a decent size for a newborn and it's already quite heavy with a lavender flannel lining, so everything worked out by mistake!
