Friday Finish – Baby Jacket from Stash Yarn

Even though the description on the pattern suggested that I would finish in 5 hours, I took my time. It actually took me five evenings to finish this project.

The pattern I used is by Franklin Habit:

It really was a delightful knit. I am so thrilled that the yarn combination created an interesting and sturdy fabric. I held two yarns together to achieve the look.

Now there are two less balls of yarn in my stash. With the ball of yellow yarn remaining, I plan to knit some baby beanies.

Anyone out there in Blogville have some patterns to suggest?

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber.

  1. Oh, this is adorable. Your comment about the time made me chuckle. I am not too savvy in the kitchen and it kills me when a recipe says total prep time 15 min and an hour later, I’m still preparing . . .
