Holiday Knitting

This guy is a little handwarmer. A little microwaveable pouch filled with rice can be inserted right into his belly!

He has a little heart button to show he loves you!

Dale Fair Isle Steeked Cardigan - done!

Just in time for Winter! And it fits Evan perfectly. If I'd waited any longer to finish it, then the past 3 years' work would have been in vain :).

I love Dale of Norway patterns. They're so "finished". I just wish every time I knit something from them, it would take less than 2 years. This sweater has beautiful picot finishing, and even the inside is gorgeous - with little stockinette covers over seams.

Also - steeking was easy! There really was nothing to be afraid of. And Baby Ull doesn't unravel easily at all. But I'll let you know if it holds up to some wear.

My husband also pointed out to me that white is not the smartest color for a toddler. Oops. But, it's so pretty, I don't regret it - yet :).
