It all started in November of 2013 . . .

I was on Ravelry reading the postings in the designers group  way back in November of 2013 when I saw a call for submissions for Little One Skein Wonders.  I am a fan of the One Skein books and was excited to have the chance to design for them.

Off to my stash I flew to see if I had anything that inspired me. Now I may have had one or two (ahem . . . okay maybe 5) skeins that would have worked, but we all know we love an excuse to go browsing for yarn.   I had an idea for a little boys vest, how adorable would that be!  And as soon as I walked into Spun Fibre Arts I knew I had found the perfect yarn!  There it was, Sweet Georgia Superwash DK in a lovely semi-tonal denim blue named Coastal.

Back home the designing began, first with the dreaded (but very important) swatch.  I loved the way that the semi-tonal quality of the yarn gave the textured pattern a well loved look.   The yardage was such that I was also able to add a hat to complete the ensemble.   

How cute will that special little man in your life look when he is sporting his new vest and hat, paired with a crisp white collared shirt and his first pair of blue jeans!  I know that this will be my go-to baby shower knit gift!
 
The Claredon Baby Vest and Hat is now available in the newly released One Skein Wonders for Babies. And I am very proud to be not only a One Skein Fan but now also a contributor!
