Five Fruits the Second

After way too long a period of time, I finally finished the second Five Fruits sweater. Don't ask me when it was started! Probably a year ago, but it was finished on March 3. Details here on Ravelry. It is intended for nephew, but by now it'll probably be too small. If so I will pick out a different pattern for him. I used Patons Astra in navy, hot blue, hot green, cardinal, deep orange, and school bus yellow, 4.5mm needles. Way too many ends to weave in!


I also went through the stash and found some odds and ends to make some baby hats. I have one finished so far, it's the cat-eared baby hat. I have another one on the go, and I'm at the decreases. This is a fun, cute knit. This one is made with Bernat Jr Jacquards.

The kids brought home a couple of boxes of their toys from Nanny's the other day. This little guy has to be kept safe from teeth, if you know what I mean. He's 32 years old, I got him when I was five. I never got the Doughgirl, and I guess there were others in the "family", but I only remember the boy and the girl. A friend of mine had the girl, so we used to take them to school and play with them. I wonder what ever happened to hers. Mine isn't white any more, even though I remember taking him in the tub all the time. I am such a packrat. The kids have a lot of toys that were mine. (Click here for Doughboy fun.)

Happy knitting!
