My sweet niece, Sophie is celebrating her first birthday in a few weeks. I went through my stash and decided to use some Knit Picks Stroll Tonal to make a Baby Ruched Cardigan.
So far, so good. This is my first experience with this yarn and it's a pretty nice yarn for the price. The color has some variation and depth and it's not too splitty.
My quilt guild is part of a challenge using the new Habitat line of fabrics. This line was designed by Jay McCarroll of Project Runway fame. I wouldn't normally pick these prints so it will be a nice way to stretch my skills a bit.
We're allowed to add solids but no other prints. I received 8 fat eights so I'll definitely need some more yardage to make something substantial. Thinking....

Oh my gosh ... what a CUTE cardigan. Can't wait to see yours all finished.
Those fabrics are interesting. They aren't colors you usually see together.
