Quick Knits

This is a baby gift that I knitted up for Farah's almost-here arrival.  Can't wait to give it to her for her new little one.  It's a baby kimono sweater, a really quick and satisfying knit.  It striped a little oddly but, oh well.  He will probably fit into it for 2-3 days so it's no big loss :) 


I was reading my friend Amy's blog about her dark urges to rip apart sweaters and reuse yarn.  I too have had this urge ever since I saw on Etsy that people are actually doing this and selling the yarn.  WHA?!?  I have dark knitting secrets of my own, most notably lately being the one where I see something knitted that someone is wearing and I casually (or not) inspect it and the stitches to see if I could replicate the pattern just by looking at it.

It's always fun to reach a new level of nerd-itude.
