Layette Set #5

I got some knitting done on my trip. I didn't get to knit as much as I thought I would, but at least I got some done, mostly in the car as we were zipping down the freeway/highway. Anyway, I've finally finished this layette set.

I am loving this pattern. Again, I've modified itn. I did 2.5 inches of 1x1 rib, then a garter stitch cuff to match the sweater. I also knit in a row of eyelets so I could put in cord for laces.

I'm glad I got this set done in time to take it to the next Knitwits meeting. It will be the last meeting for finished projects before we distribute everything.

I have another finished project from the trip. I will blog about that later this week.

Live long and prosper. \\//
