FINALLY I CAN WEAR IT OUT!

I fell in love first sight with the pattern as soon as I saw it and had actually started knitting it in November last year. I chose to do it in size one with smaller halter triangles (bro idk what that's called) and really didn't like the fit, so I frogged everything and set it aside.

So glad I came back around to finish it this year! The final version you see here is knit in size two, stopping with the triangles after row 45. I didn't want them to be so centered, so I removed one pattern repeat from the back and added half a repeat on both fronts.

The crochet edge was a challenge and I feel like that's visible, but I love it nonetheless. Handknits are allowed to look like labors of love, no?

Pattern: Astraea Top by PearlByRae

I finished another one of Cinthia Vallet's plushies! This time it's Agi the Sheep from her book Mouche & friends. Again a super fun and quick knit.

Since my baby nephew came to visit for the first time, I wanted to give him something special. I half expected him to not really ne interested in a toy, that doesn't make noices or anything yet. He's only 4-5 months old now. But he loves Agi! The shape of her arms and legs were perfect for his little hands to grab onto.

I'm so excited for him to grow older, so that he can enjoy dressing up the plushies. Until then, I'll just make him some more friends!
