WIPs a-plenty
Well, it didn't get finished before Zoe got here, but I started it late. Here's a peek of the Big Bad Baby Blanket. Boy, do I heart this Claudia yarn.
The stripey angora hat was such a hit, that I decided to make another one. I picked up a couple skeins of Belangor angora at the Yarn Basket in Chico. It's soooo yummy. This is 100% angora, and it feels like knitting with cotton candy. Looks like it, too:
My Brooks Farm stash is staring at me longingly, but I'm being good.

That makes me want to knit...then I remember that I don't know how....

How much Claudia did you buy to make that blanket? And would you maybe share the pattern (it looks simple, so I could actually do it). The hat -- oh my god, I want that yarn! I want to knit with angora. Yum yum yum.

The super-easy pattern, which is in the first Stitch-n-Bitch book, takes eight skeins of Claudia. The yarn is doubled, so it works up quicker than you might think.

that angora looks dangerously soft, I don't think I'd ever be able to put it down, and it's probably end up me crashing into another car because I'd be too addicted to touching it.
