FO Friday 38: Proof of Whuppin'














So this week I have two, yes, an amazing two whole Finished Objects to share with you. 'Course, they are small, which helps in terms of speed, and the closest that I think knitting gets to instant gratification.

Firstly, my go-to baby pattern, but this time with a hood. It reminds me of Kenny in South Park. I must impress upon you that I do not watch South Park, but everybody knows the main characters, I guess. The yarn was James C.Brett's Baby Rainbow DK; I didn't like the feel of it at all while I was knitting with it, but it feels a lot better after a wash and some fabric conditioner:



And I have also completed the butt-whuppin' vintage baby cardigan, sewing the buttons on this morning; the yarn is James C.Brett's Baby Bliss DK, which comes in several interesting colorways and is far nicer to work with; a little on the thin side, I'd say, an American sport-weight between 4ply and DK.



So for the weekend I shall be leafing through my patterns, favorites and Ravelry queue for my nextest project ....but I feel there's family birthdates that I must check too ....

Over at Tami's there are lots of other people exulting in their success ...
