Speaking of Kids Tricots...

This is either great or dangerous timing for me, depending on your perspective. There are three adorable new Kids Tricots patterns in the shop now. And as you now know, I've just finished Baby Liliha, which I loved making.


So, feel free to place bets on whether or not I can stop myself from starting one of these lovelies today. (Have I mentioned that during the last visit to the yarn store, um, yesterday, that I was seduced by a few skeins of ice blue, silky merino malabrigo and a few skeins of sunny yellow Jil Eaton Minnow Merino? And I'm sure either of them would be perfect for these patterns...)

If anyone else out there has recently given in to the siren song of some luscious yarn, definitely consider one of these patterns. They're well written (and that's translated from French even!) and easy to follow. And of course the end results are so sweet!

Oh, and I really hope you'll share your pictures!

Happy knitting everyone!

I love the Kina and baby Kina cardigans! Do you know if the construction is just back and forth? I have sworn off any more projects with seams, as they just sit un-completed. But those look like they may be seamless?

How funny! I was just writing about that! I love seamless patterns for the same reason. Kina and Baby Kina are both seamless - a perfect pattern for both of us!

Thanks--I'm so excited to start this cardigan! And I have a baby Nora too (but we spell it without the "h".). She's 14 months. Maybe both our Nora(h)s will get the Kina!

How lovely! Isn't Nora (or Norah) the sweetest name? I hope you'll send a picture of your baby Nora wearing Kina. Then I'll be able to post them together! Happy knitting!
