i.love.yarn.

I think I may be getting overly ambitious, but I've been looking at yarn and omg, I have so many ideas!

I just finished the main chunk of a brown and pink jacket-I need to add the pink and buttons-made from Cotton-Ease. I love it! It'll fit a newborn just right. I hope. I'm going to line it in something lightweight to cover up my bad job of finishing though-I've learned a lot about finishing with this project! I'm on the look out for some pink bamboo or organic cotton jersey. :)

I also pulled out my merino-alpaca blend that I dyed up myself and found a color that I really like-its lavender with some blues. Its very pretty and soft. I'm going to make some longies out of it for the newbie.

And then, my big projects. I'm getting Blue Sky dyed cotton in colors to coordinate with the baby's carseat-pinks and oranges mainly. I'm planning on making a bunting bag, with a hole for the crotch strap in the carseat, a jacket in a larger size that also matches, and hats to match both. I'm also going to make a removable liner for the bunting-something I can take out in the summer and still use the bunting on cooler summer days (we live in Seattle so...yeah...) and I'm going to line the jacket with something very warm too-and hopefully use it as a winter coat (again, we live in Seattle, the winters here dont tend to be super cold). I was thinking of Bamboo velour or something similar-soft and warm. Any other ideas?

I'll post a pic of the jacket after I add the pink-and charge my camera. I think I'll make a hat too...
