Lucky, lucky baby
I started blogging around the time a very dear friend was preparing for her wedding. In fact, I believe one of my first blogged projects was her wedding shawl.
Time has a way of passing.
My sweet married couple friends will welcome their first child by month's end.
When my March selection from the Rockin Sock Club arrived, I fell in instant love with the colourway, Lucky.
I loved the accompanying Leafling sock pattern, but the combination of the pattern and the medium weight STR just wasn't doing it for me. So I did what I'd done with my last skein of mediumweight yarn - a baby raglan!
All this one needs is some four-leaf clover buttons, and it will be fit for a lucky baby... lucky to have chosen such wonderful parents!
And with the leftovers, a wee cap with the whale-tail Azure pattern and a tied i-cord top. (Are your teeth aching yet?)
Top of the mornin' to ya, Lucky Baby!
I heard that someone had started their mat leave...time does fly. Nice job! The variegation is so consistent (no pooling!)

Wait. You did that with ONE skein of the mediumweight? Amazing. It's absolutely precious.

Hi Deb! James sent me the link to your blog!
Great use of the RSC March package. I'm still working on leafling, though I did have the idea to make a BSJ in the yarn for one of my girlfriends.
