Baby Caps

I’m attempting to use up my bits and pieces of baby yarn when we’re over on Texada. I think these will be the last of my baby caps.

For this next trip I have a couple of patterns that I’ll attempt to make into a baby blanket, although that isn’t the pattern’s intention. I have two full skeins left and if I add a row or two of contrast I’m hopeful it will all be gone.

These will be donated.

Baby Cap

For our last trip to Texada I decided not to transport any crafts across but instead I wanted to work on some of the unfinished crafts I already had over there.

This summer I took a bag of baby yarn across and knit a baby cap. There was still plenty of yarn left so I knit another one. I think there is probably enough yarn left even now for at least three more. I’m sorry that this yarn is no longer available as I used it for all of the first blankies I made for my grandchildren.

I’ll donate these to BOND (Babies Open New Doors) when they are all finished.

Hats

I needed a warm toque for my swims with the Popsicles and I had just the yarn for it. When we were in Ireland I purchased four skeins of wool in Donegal that I set aside for “something”. I made myself a simple hat and then made a second one for donation.

I still have some of the blue wool left and it, along with some of the other colours, will go into an art piece at some point. I have the pattern, just not the time.
