Ms. Cutie's Little Car Coat
Pattern: Garter Yoke Baby Cardi
Designer: Jennifer Hoel
Yarn: DROPS Merino
Color: 17 Cerise
Needles: Circular - 3.75 mm and 3.25 mm
This is one of my favourite patterns for babies.
The only modifications I made were to increase the bottom border by a few rows to reduce the risk of rollover, and to finish the sleeve cuffs on a smaller needle as I prefer them to be just a bit narrower.

Finally Finished - The Robin Wears Brown Too Cardi
Pattern: Top Down Raglan Baby Sweater
Designer: Carole Barenys
Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed
Color: 153 Phantom
Needles: Circular - 3.25 mm and 3.5 mm
I've had this dear little brown cardigan on the back burner for weeks while I searched for just the right buttons. There are very few places in this province to buy great buttons - in fact, the only one of note is LK Yarns in the Hydrostone. Louise helped me one Saturday afternoon explore her many boxes of buttons and I came out of the shop with five sets for future sweaters.
This sweater will be boxed and sent on its way to Toronto tomorrow morning.

Barbie's Autumn Wardrobe
Lucy Darling was eyeing a particular ball of leftover Tosh Merino Light yarn this summer when she was visiting and she suggested a couple of times that we should make a dolly scarf with it. I thought it should be saved for something a little more special and last evening, I hit upon the very thing - a chunky turtleneck for Barbie. I think she looks great in it and I even found jeans in the basement Barbie Box (The Girls 1.0) to coordinate. I hope Lucy will like it when it arrives in France!
