Knitted wrap top

I'm trying a new pattern out at the moment. It's for a garter stitch wrap top that you knit all in one piece - it looks very pretty and hopefully not beyond my skill level! :-) I'll post some pics when I've progressed a bit further with the project! The pattern is from a book called 'Simple knits for cherished babies' by Erika Knight, p.61

Here's a photo of the wrap top in progress (27-02-2011).

Dinner Napkins



Today I went fabric shopping to get material to make a skirt and also some dinner napkins as I'm over using the paper ones. I found some nice fabric that is a chocolate stripy jacquard material. I made 6 napkins from 1m of material, cut out as 40 cm x 40 cm squares with 5 cm hems. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out :-) I think the only thing I would do differently if I was making them again is making them slightly larger.
