happy easter!
Happy easter and spring my peeps! I hope you are all having a good celebration and it is warm and sunny wherever you happen to be.
Work is trying to swallow up all of my time, but I'm managing to stay one step ahead. That said I only have a few things to show for myself craft-wise. I just finished up a pile of knitting gifts for my friends expecting a little chick pea. You know who you are and your baby shower is next Saturday - so if you're reading this, close the browser and step away from the blog...
So one of these friends is descended from the pirate Henry Avery, which of course meant that this baby needed some pirate knitwear:
Ensemble:
-Anouk dress/tunic from Knitty Spring 2004, modified to have pirate pockets and embroidered label.
-Saartje's Bootees
- your basic stripy baby hat with I-cord loops
All knit with Cascade Pima Tencel
I've also been doing a wee bit of spinning:
This is corriedale in the watermelon colorway from Sakina Knits. Worsted weight 2-ply.
I'm going to be swallowed up by work for the next week or so, but I'll be back as soon as I can.
happy spring!

The baby set is so incredible. Very inspiring!
What a fantastic set - your friend is incredibly lucky. I love how it looks like the skull/crossbones looks like it is smiling. ;)

This is one of the best baby sets I've seen! The colors, the style, the nice photography, so cute! I love the bright blue background. :o)
awe-some! that turned out so great! ye ole baby is going to be the coolest baby around. yar!
also: i did not read that first sentence correctly, and thought you said, "spring my peeps," as in, "my peeps are being held hostage - spring 'em!" but that's after much travel and fatigue. and bedazzlement by the pirate ensemble.
Happy Easter!
