Finished projects! Wooo!

First up..the two Heartbreakingly Cute One Piece Baby Kimonos from Mason Dixon Knitting. My daughter wanted them to give as gifts to friends. She chose the colors from Caron Simply Soft in grape and watermelon and the ribbons. These were a lot of fun and very easy.

I also finished my first socks on two circular needles. I knew basically how to make socks, but I took a class Yarn Lady to make sure I got it right since it was a new technique. I have some more yarn for the next pair!
That's it for now!

Do you mind sharing this pattern? I'm having a hard time being directed back to the correct pages on here. I would love it if you would email the pattern or the link to the pattern to me.

Love those little kimonos!!! Is there a pattern online? Or do you need to buy the book? I feel the need to knit some!

I noticed that you had left a comment on another blog requesting English instructions for a darling BiBo Cap. The website I found it on was Knitting Pattern Central. I have started the hat, but cannot finish as the decrease isn't working. Did you ever knit that hat, and how did you do it? Thanks for your help.

Chico, no I didn't knit that hat. It's really cute though. I would have replied to you in email, but I don't have it so I hope you get my reply.

The kimonos are too cute! Nice socks!! I would also like to request the pattern for the kimonos if its possible! Thank you!

Knit-a-holic- I don't know how to contact you so I'll have to answer here. The baby kimonos were from the Mason Dixon Knitting book. It's a great book. If you don't want to purchase it you can usually get it from the library. Thank you for the nice comments. :)

These are really pretty, but I don't get the ease of this pattern. I have a similar pattern that I am working on, but do not understand how to do the sleeves. My pattern jumps from 7 st to 63 st, and with my first one piece knit I just don't quite follow. Could you provide more advise on how to shape the sleeves?

Thanks,
