Announcing the Birth of Catherine Margaret !! Born August 28Th Parents are John and Marissa ! The picture is of Marissa and her only daughter , she also has two boys. This Coat was knit in the 12-18 months. Pattern was written by Debbie Bliss. I have to tell you I like the moss stitch or as some call the seed stitch. It is very pretty. But would I ever knit this coat in that stitch again NO WAY!!. Would I knit this coat again in a different stitch YES. I did post this on Ravelry. I did do a few thing different than the pattern. First I added a hood , along with a garter stitch belt (with double strands of yarn). I didn't do the collar. The yarn I used was Dark Horse Fantasy . I have to tell you is a great yarn . The coat was very heavy to which means it was warm. I can't wait to started on something else. I can tell you this project seemed like it took forever. You can only do the stitch so long before your hands and arms hurt or at least for me that was the case. All in all the baby looks great in it and I 'm glad the momma loves it since she picked the pattern and colors.
Knitting next.
I have to knit my kiddo hats before if get to cold here and then I can finish my UFO projects which include. A shawl , french market back, and a ton of socks.
God Bless!!
