Just for a change of pace this week I've put my summer cotton top I've been knitting aside. There were several very small balls of left over yarn hanging about so I decided to knit a baby hat, just to use them up. I had a little of pink, white, grey and burgundy so knitted up a striped baby hat. That didn't turn out too bad, nice easy knitting in the evenings, and I was pleased to see those tiny balls gone.

Then I came across a stalled knitting project, so pulled it out to see what was left to do on this one. It is a cozy cardigan using hand spun wool which my dear friend Merilyn sent me. With just the fronts to finish up, I then have to stitch it together and work on the front and neck bands. I'll keep this one out close by as I may as well keep on with it, I decided.

Perhaps you may remember when I posted pictures on a beautiful coat made by Vicky from the Creative Crafts group a wee while ago? Well, she has down it again and stitched herself another beautiful coat, this one is a rain coat using parka nylon, and covered with Vicky's beautiful applique and embelishments. Such a lot of work, the coat really is eye catching.

What a cool raincoat! (And it sounds like it's needed!)
I like using scraps for charity hats, too! Your little pink confection is darling.
I’m glad you are safe and sound but feel bad for all the people impacted by the cyclone. Cute baby hat…will you be donating it? All those knitting projects will keep you busy while your sewing machine is being serviced. Your friend’s new raincoat is sunshine on a rainy day!
The beanie is very sweet made from your bits of yarn.
Vicki’s raincoat is amazing but you wouldn’t want to get it wet!
Cyclones are so scary and causes so much damage.
I love the coat! Such clever and talented people!
glad your area wasn't hit hard by the storm
The baby hat is adorable, Jenny! You're so good at using up those bits of leftover yarn. Your friend's rain coat is amazing - it does look like a lot of work, but so eye-catching!
The little hat is precious, Jenny. I admire your knitting skills; I am slowly learning how to crochet. Vicky's rain jacket is spectacular.
Very cute hat and a great way to use up those little bits of yarn. That coat is simply amazing.
I am also glad that you were not hard hit by the storm.
God bless.
Great hat Jenny! We have had 3 days of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Happy to hear that the cyclone gave your area a miss, Jenny;)))
That raincoat is fabulous--what a lovely piece of work....Your little striped hat came out so cute..
We have a cloudy day here with a temp of 51 right now--a warming trend for this upcoming week. Yesterday noontime we were able to sit out in the sun on our front patio--so relaxing and nice to feel the sun warming us...
hugs, Julierose
Oh my, that is a fancy raincoat.
