in a weekend
Monday, March 23, 2009There was knitting this weekend. My new favorite "go to" baby gift set.
I have been making the Dulaan Hat for a couple of years and just found the link on Ravelry. Using size 10 1/2 needles and a ball of Lambs Pride Bulky, you can knit that hat in an hour. With the remaining yarn I make thumbless mittens joined by an i-cord. The i-cord was my favorite on my kids mittens. Heck. I wish they would still let me put i-cords on their mittens. I can't stand searching for lost mittens.
{Cast on 16 stitches, K2, P2 for 6 rows, change to stockinette and increase 4 stitches across, 1 at each end and one on the 8th and 9th stitch. Continue until piece measures 4 3/4 inch, placing marker in between the 10th and 11th stitch on last WS row. Next row RS k1, k2tog, k to within 3st from marker, sl1, k1, psso, k1, slip marker, k1, k2tog, k to last 3 st, k2tog, k1. P 1 row. Repeat these 2 rows 1x more. (12 st) Next row, k2tog across (6 st). Next row, p2tog across. Run yarn through remaining 3 st. Sew sides together. Weave in ends. Make a 3 st i-cord long enough to run through 2 sleeves and back of baby/toddler. Join to mittens.}
And there was baking. Chocolate n' Cream cookies from April '09 everyday food. Anyone else try those? I had to double the amount of butter in the cookies and the cream filling. Well worth it. We devoured those and now have to make more.
