Lullaby Layette

I loved this pattern when I saw it first time. I wasn’t aware it would take so long for me to finish(due to my laziness).
I felt the blanket would become too small with given instructions. So I increased it. I could not figure out how much yarn would be required. So ran out of the yarn twice and had to order them online twice, lots of money spent on shipping :( .

It took me about 6 months to finish. I worked bit by bit when I got time after work. I thought I could never even finish it. But finally this is all done. V loves it. It looks great. There are some finishing touches that I need to be more careful next time. I don’t like holes in the neck. But in all, this has come out really nice.

Gloves

I had a very hard time working with DPNs, but I was hell bent on learning knitting with them. I don’t call this is one of my best works, because there were too many mistakes. But V loves these.

He didn’t want fingerless mittens/gloves, so I worked with the one and only one glove pattern I found on the internet after searching for a while. Looks like people have stopped knitting these kind of traditional gloves. They are very warm.
