Gift Knitting

I went to visit my former hometown, Newman, this weekend where my cousin Tura and his family still live. I didn't get a chance to visit during Easter, so this was a long needed trip. I had bought a cute brown/biege short outfit formy Godson Andrew, which I might get to see him in next weekend! For my little couse Alyssa, I decided to knit her a headband late Friday night, about 10 p.m. I quickly searched Ravelry for a child's headband pattern, and went with Nora. I found some real pretty "Little Lovely" Malabrigo Chunky in my stash, and it was perfect! I had to adjust my needle size since the pattern isn't knitted with chunky weight yarn. I went with a US3 needle, and it worked out perfect. I had it finished by the time we got to the house the morning on Saturday.


Here are my pics!







And look at her smile! She loves pink!



Another gift I'm almost done with, here's some quick pics:





I don't want to say too much about this because it's a surprise, but I'm really excited to get to the finishing portion, it will really take shape then.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Wow, look at that smile! And the bright pink looks wonderful against her dark hair. It's so nice when your handiwork is appreciated like that.
