Since I'm coming up on the third trimester, I'm probably way behind on posting about what I've been knitting for Wiggle Bug.
I got all kinds of yarn during the eat.sleep.knit annual sale... I don't know if I've shown you all just how yarn crazy I went:
I have some specific ideas and not so specific. One specific one is an OpArt blankie. The progress looks speedy in the beginning...
But soon, with over 400 stitches per round, progress seems slower...
But my first baby FO, was a very special hat.
The first yarn purchased after we confirmed that Wiggle Bug was on the way...
I wanted to make a hat and add a celtic knot. So I modified this pattern...
Into...
I never thought I'd make a celtic knot on size 2 DPNs. The things we do for love...
Pattern: Cashel
Yarn: Twirling Petals, 119 yards
Modifications: 120 stitches, in the round. Oh, and turning a sweater into a hat. :)
Knitting yardage total 2012: 2499
Gorgeous! I've got the op art pattern in my favourites, so can't wait to see yours.
The hat is wonderful.
And you look so beautiful, mom-to-be!

I made a couple of blankets similar to that one (twins, don'tcha know) and yes, by the last row, I was ready to be done. But, it is good tv knitting. Cute hat!
