Life is certainly an interesting thing to experience. You're coasting along, everything is in its groove, and then suddenly it all gets crazy. Spring break Disney vacations, birthdays, funerals, weddings, baby showers, then the next thing you know it's your kid's last day of school.
So I've been busy is what I'm trying to say. So busy that I have done very little knitting. Because of the upcoming baby shower (this Sunday in fact,) I did finally buckle down and get some stuff accomplished.
That's the Zebrafol pattern from the Dale baby collection #129. I made it out of Knitpicks Pallette which is Peruvian Highlands wool. It turned out nicely, but it's certainly not a pattern that I'll be making for casual acquaintances. Because of the number of colors that are used this is what the inside of the leggings looked like when I started sewing in the ends. Keep in mind that I worked about half of them in as I went, so this could have been double what it looks like.
And this is what the pile of cut off ends looked like when I got done:
So definitely a labor of love. Hopefully the Great-Niece and her parents will appreciate it.
Under the Mistletoe with You!

You were very brave to even attempt that pattern. And because you finished it...you're my freakin' hero.
Awww, thanks.
Wow, that is an amazing outfit! It's obvious that you love the (impending) recipient very much.
