as promised, here are more of q's fancy knit work. this one is very impressive to me mostly because she has the ability to knit two things alike. i have knitted one mitten in my life and promptly gave it away before i had to knit another to match. for those of you who don't knit: yes, it is very difficult to knit identical garments!
see and be impressed:
identical booties!
and a beanie to boot!
add to the challenge, q used cotton, which is not a forgiving fiber because it doesn't stretch or give much. i'm very impressed with her stuff, from technique to color selection.
here's her take on her beanie and booties:
"here is some baby knits i did for a friend's niece. i got these patterns from debbi bliss* baby knits. the colors were purely his choice which i have to admit i fell in love with. all in all, i love knitting these so much that i've made four more sets since then."
*debbie bliss patterns are not easy. db is a poom so she can't help but uses the queen's english. her knit lingo looks like arabic to me. on top of that, her patterns are more often flawed than not!
when i talk to q, she makes knitting sound like chewing gum. and she's super modest about it. i admire that.
the booties and hat are very cute, and hip in that yarn. what debbi bliss book is that from? did the pattern call for dpn throughout the booties? thanks.
