Griffin's Snowy Tv Screen Tomten with Spiral Eye Monkey Buttons out of Jarbo Garn
Baby Sophia B.'s Baby Surprise out of Bernet CottonTots w/ Butterfly Buttons
I have some CottonTots I thought about doing a BSJ with. But I was afraid it would turn out huge and heavy. Did you modify the pattern to make it smaller or anything?
Thanks! For the CottonTots I didn't hange the pattern at all and just used a size 6 US and it came out light jacket weight. This was my second one in the yarn...I think I posted the other in May...I played with using different needles before I did that one. I will say that the other baby has had a good six months with his and can still wear it so it wasn't tiny.
Hello Zel Have just googled EZ and your site came up. Now I just love that little girl's coat. Could you tell me where I can source that pattern please. My grand daughter Zoe would look a picture in that.
Hahaha, Snow TV, how funny -- and with the digital age of TV upon us, that idea will soon be lost to history, eh? Anyway, that Tomten is wonderful! Great work.

ReplyDeleteI love that Tomten! I had some of the same buttons in yellow that I used on a February sweater. Who knew monkeys and EZ went so well together

ReplyDeleteAwesome work! Such lucky babies.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking projects! The BSJ looks festive. (I think my eyes would have rebelled at the tomten colorway!)
