New project by request...

...finished the hat for my Dad. This was knit to match the scarf he'd picked up earlier in the winter. I posted a picture on Facebook for him to see and he's quite pleased with it. As are quite a few other people. I've had a lot of compliments. A nice pat on the back. Always nice to have your work appreciated. :)

 
  Now, I've started the next requested item. Our daughter and son-in-law are expecting their first in mid-April. She has asked that I knit a cocoon for baby Adelyn. She's planning on pictures of new baby in this. What's a grandma to do? Of course, I'll knit it. I'm using a chunky yarn ~ it's an acrylic/superwash wool blend. I've had to fudge the pattern a bit as it was written for a bulky yarn at 2.5 sts/inch and this yarn knits a nice fabric at 3.5 sts/inch. It's an Eileen Casey design and knits up fast. Should have it for the new momma-to-be in the next couple of days.

Off to knit and watch the Brier for a bit before bed!
