This past week at SnB I was able to finish up the Fruit Loop by Pixie Purls, a handknit for Lorelai. I had bought the yarn (Ella Rae Baby Cotton) a while back at The Yarn Basket. It’s a cotton-nylon blend that is quite soft and was pleasant while working. I made the size 2T in the hopes of getting a full summer of wear out of this, currently the Lorax is about 22lbs and ~31 inches tall. I think it turned out great and was pleased with some of these shots – she posed! She’s been into making faces and sticking up her chin when the camera comes out, not sure why, but it’s funny. 
It’s a knit I would do again – I would love to try the different “fruit” patterns. Next time I would think about doing a provisional cast on and making a hem as the bottom rolls and I couldn’t get it to block all the way out (I was lazy about it and really it’s fine as is).
The puppy is a perpetual favorite stuffed animal. The blue baby hairbrush is also a new favorite toy – it does nothing on her mini-mane, but she likes to brush her hair, my hair, hubby’s hair, the dog & stuffies with it. Whatever. 🙂
I’m currently working on a test knit of “A Little Something” for Sam of “Shawl That Jazz” fame 🙂 Mine is being done with Silky Wool in a dusty pink color. I think I’ve got about 8″ done so far. She’s great to work with – and I love the fact that I’ve met her! Photos soon!
She is so cute, and Fruit Loop is adorable. Great photos♥
