With autumn appearing my fingers start itching to knit. Nothing could be easier than knitting for little brand new bodies and I was quite the impressed knitter with this little number. It is a Debbie Bliss pattern from here.

Originally meant for Cashmerino I had a happy coincidence with a stash yarn. I used Harmony 8 ply from Bendigo Woollen Mills on 6.5mm (10.5 US) needles which met the tension requirements of 18 sts and 24 rows to a 10cm square. This yarn is quite lovely, with a texture in wool and cotton and a hint of lycra. Ok then it’s hand wash and the new mother I’m giving it to won’t know what she’s in for but it did wash and dry really easily.

Bolstered with extreme confidence I now go forth to knit more. The next  in a bamboo/cotton yarn. How good does success feel!
