Baby Knits and yarn mail

I love knitting baby items with kitchen cotton! I used Sugar n' cream for this shrug. I love the colorways they make. They have so many! I really prefer Peaches N' Cream cotton but I can't find many different colorways in stores here. I think its a little softer than Sugar n' cream cotton. And kitchen cotton is cheap! I mean this shrug cost less than $2 to knit. Plus I have over lefts! The pattern is Confection Baby Shrug, a free download on Ravelry.com. This is the 3 mth size but the pattern goes up 24 mths. I plan on knitting another one in a bigger size in wool for the winter.


I got all this in the mail on Friday! Some girly yarn love, for sure! This is what I traded the two Curly Purly Soakers for. First is Mermaid, a Cestari yarn; the top is It's a Girl, which is fisherman's wool and the last is Rocker Girl, also fisherman's wool. Plus a matching newborn shirt. I'm so in love with these colorways, they are my first real hand dyed yarns. I think this is going to start a new addiction, good for me but bad for our bank! The woman who died them for me is Amie who owns Eco-Wrapz. She also sells cloth diapers, wipes, and baby clothing! Check out her site here: www.EcoWrapz.com or here at www.hyenacart.com/appleocrhard.
