A Little Mermaid

One last post to show off my cute baby knits. I snagged these the same day as my blackberry cocoon photos. But as you can see she was quickly becoming less and less enchanted with being mommy’s photo subject, lol.

She really doesn’t like hats….

My project page can be found here on Ravelry, although it’s pretty sparse. This is a cocoon I designed myself waaaaay back in the day. Obviously before I learned that seed stitch is the devil and doesn’t really look that much like mermaid scales, lol.

Happy Knitting!!

FO Friday: Mermaid Tail

TGIF!!!!

I have the pleasure of being friends with some fabulous photographers. So for this FO Friday I’d like to share a super cute item I knit for a really cool photographer lady.

I LOVE making baby knits. And how cute is the princess baby in the photo! The photo was shot by my friend Renee Swanson. She is a fabulous photographer who got married this past summer. So of course for her bridal shower I just had to knit something super cool for her photography business. So I improvised my own design of a Mermaid Tail. I knit in the round using US 10 1/2 circs and Knit Picks Brava Bulky. This yarn is some of my favorite to use in kiddo projects. It’s soft, easy to work with, and washable for those occasional baby accidents. I was terribly pleased with how this project turned out! I wasn’t able to attend the shower but I know she loved it because I got the lovely photo above a few weeks later!

Renee is an super adorable professional photographer who works in Kansas and North Carolina. Check out her blog and her Facebook page!

Happy Knitting!
