Rainbows

A few months ago, while buying some yarn from Knit Picks, I happened upon this colorway of Felici (Rainbow) and had to get a ball. I intended to make a pair of socks out of it for my daughter. Good thing I did, the colorway has sold out since then.

   So this week I finally started the socks and those being for a four year old, knit up quite fast. To spice things up, I decided to try my hand at entrelac. There were many beautiful entrelac sock projects at ravelry to inspire me. Even though it was my first entrelac project and I was not following any pattern, I was determined to do the heel and toes in entrelac.

 Heels were an easy affair but the toes required some frogging and reknitting. It turned out of a most vibrant pair of socks.

    The fun did not stop here as I still had some leftover yarn. So I knit up a simple kerchief too! So much fun with a small ball of yarn!

 

A Little Kerchief

I saw this pattern (non-ravelry link) at ravelry (ravelry link) some time back and knew I had to crochet it. It is fun, cute and quick! And a pretty way to dress up my daughters now-growing locks.

For my first kerchief I used some leftover worsted cotton and 5 mm hook. The pattern is nicely written and modifiable to any gauge and head size. My daughter is very pleased with it. I might make another one for her with finer yarn.
