Good for a Friday finish, and a new beginning

I finished the lion I featured in my previous post and sent him on his merry way...





I have begun a new little project - emphasis on little - for a preemie baby.  Born at 31 weeks, 15 inches long and 3 lb 5 oz.  Such a beautiful little girlie needs a dainty sweater.


The pattern is Ray of Hope's Premature Baby Set (ravelry link).  Size 3.25 mm needles, Pulcino Baby Wool  Allessandra, a superwash merino, fingering weight (or 4 ply in British Knitting terms). Hope to be finished this weekend.  This is a teeny, tiny, very little thing!

What I've been working on...







Another sort of sekrit project - my first amigurumi!


edited to add another shot that I love: 




A pretty pink hat for a lovely little girl.  Except, this pretty pink hat is too big for the lovely little girl.



I might rip it back to make it smaller.  Or I might make a new one with DK instead of Worsted and fewer increases.  If I make a new one, I'll donate this one somewhere.

It turned out so darned cute.  I wish it was the right size!

Click into any one of them and be taken to my Flickr set.  They do look better smaller though - using digital zoom, then optical to get the close ups, they aren't all that sharp.

We had a good time.  Toby was a little TOOOOOO LOUDDDDDDDD, and raunchier than I expected.  But I love me some Trace!  :)
