Elfie.

I've been a busy bee recently, working on few project at the same time and taking any opportunity to knit one more row whenever possible (and believe me, it's hard to find a spare moment with a vary active almost two year old toddler around ;) ). Today when G. was having her afternoon nap I managed to finish this little green top. And I feel quite content with the way it turned out. It's yet another of my experimental knits: I had the idea in my head and I braught it out to real life. I enjoyed knitting this top: so very simple and quick. I aimed to make 6-9 months size but I think it actually is 12-18 months (I tried it on G. and it was a bit too short and a bit too tight but not very uncomfortable and she is 21 months now). After the top was done, I decided to call it "Elfie"- this forest green color and cable motif make me think of little elves.


I've got so many ideas for other knitting projects these days, I should start writting them down . If only I could strech days and nights a little bit... For a while now I've been thinking of opening my Etsy shop with little knits like this one. But I don't think I've got enough courage yet...

  1. This is absolutely stunning ~ the courage should be overflowing because this sweater is perfection! If my crumb was still a wee one, I would ask to purchase Elfie this very moment! Open the Etsy shop now...you have the talent!

  2. It looks great - maybe we should cheer each other on with the Etsy shop thing - I really should open one and start putting a little ? back in for my habits, but still too scared:)

  4. This is another beautiful creation, Kasia! What a talent! You should consider writing up and selling your patterns (and registering as a designer at Ravelry).
