Here are a few things I’ve been working on lately.

Flannel baby blankets. I made two sets of these for my sisters twins and one for my friend Sarah. Simple instructions are on the Tangle blog.

Baby sweater. I made this one for my friend Amy’s new baby, Charlie. Tangle recently got in a new yarn, Hap’i from Mirasol. I love this yarn! The colors are so bright and cheerful and all of them coordinate in such fun ways. It’s 100% thick/thin cotton and the gauge was perfect for the Knitting Pure and Simple baby pullover pattern (#214). Whenever I make this pattern, I always lengthen the body and sleeves because the patterns are written wide. I figure if I lengthen it, the baby can get more wear out of it.

And a set of pillowcases. I made these for my friend Danielle. The fabric is Amy Butler’s Love and I’m so excited that pillowcases will be the project for Tangle’s brand new sewing classes! (I am SO excited! We’ve hired some amazing sewing teachers to teach all the fun and modern patterns the local fabric stores don’t seem to be interested in.)
