A scrappy start... and a skirt.

 
I've reached 20 weeks, the half-way point to baby, and I can't believe how the time is just whizzing by, especially now I'm not lingering by the toilet bowl of a morning/afternoon/evening.  Time to get busy.  Thus far, this little collection of woolly warmers is all I have managed, though I am currently sewing up a bunny and a teddy.  The palette might have you thinking I'm knitting wee things for a boy, but that the colours are merely those scraps I had in my stash from previous little gifts etc.  It will be another two weeks before we know the gender of this little wriggler. 

In the meantime, I wanted to make sure Boo got a winter woolly out of me before the house may seem dominated by making/buying/preparing for the baby.  This little wrap skirt was from Catherine Tough's 'Easy Knits for Little Kids' book and was, as the title suggests, dead simple.  What was not simple was getting the little lady to stay still for half a second to pose for a picture. 

See what I mean?  Doesn't help that dark n drizzly days have set in round these parts.  The skirt was knitted with the yarn that is becoming my favourite it seems: Rowan Scottish Tweed.  The textures are great, the wool softens lots on washing and the colours are Scottishly soft. 

Happy Autumn!
