To give myself a break from the temporary daunting nature of the lace-up gloves, I started the Mason-Dixon Knitting baby kimono for my pregnant aunt. (Well, for her baby. Ha.)


I'm about half-done now, and the pattern is so simple but ingenious that I'm learning a lot (casting on at the end of rows? binding off in the middle of rows? you can do that?) and gaining tons of confidence. It's great fun to watch it grow on the needles into something that actually looks like... a baby kimono.

The eyelet edging created by the yarnovers has me utterly charmed.
