While searching Ravelry for patterns that would accommodate my new celery-green Manos Del Uruguay yarn (bought for a different project that didn't end up working out), I found Amanda Keeys' Squishy Love Cowl. I pinned it on Pinterest "to make" and then actually made it in just about a day.
I added vintage flower buttons from one of my many button jars. It's delightfully Victorian and so very Ivy.

Oh, that's darling. I think I'm going to have to make one for my girls.
ReplyDeleteSteph! It's so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI want one!
ReplyDeleteThat is so gorgeous (and, so is beautiful Ivy, of course)! I am so impressed by your talent, Steph! I'm even more impressed that you actually made something you pinned. I've pinned a lot, but I don't think I've actually made one thing yet. Whoops!
ReplyDeletePinning NOW.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The buttons and color are perfect on her. And good for you for following through on a project so quickly. I love that feeling!
ReplyDeleteI just started knitting. And this is why. Super cute projects. (on super cute kiddos.) Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour kid, your taste, your crafting--you just blow my mind with the gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe; so gorgeous, and I can't believe you MADE it.
ReplyDeletethat came out great! the color is beautiful on her.
ReplyDeletehappy 2012!
So lovely!! It is just amazing. And love those sweet little vintage buttons.
ReplyDeleteSoooo darling! I'm a brand-spanking-new knitter and pics like these are powerful motivation to keep plugging!
ReplyDeleteThis is just darling! Almost enough to get me interested in knitting. Almost! ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh purdy. I bet Gretchen would dig one of these! *hops over to Ravelry*
ReplyDeleteShe looks so cozy! Love!
ReplyDeleteStunning. I must know - is there a special technique you use to keep your children from using your knitting needles as swords? Because we have trouble with empty paper towel rolls and chopsticks at my house... I'm not courageous enough to bring knitting needles across my threshold. But this cape? Makes me ache to change my mind.
ReplyDeleteOne stunningingly beautiful kiddo there!!! Incredible!!!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture makes me want to just weep. She is so incredibly stunning. The cape is beautiful, too!
ReplyDeletethat is beautiful! nice job! love those buttons, too!
ReplyDeleteLOVE.
ReplyDeleteI am always blown away by her beauty.
Seriously, she is stunning. :)
Beautiful girl...beautiful creation!
ReplyDeleteLove this! And I want one! :-O
ReplyDeleteNev
LOVE it! But not nearly as much as Ivy's sweet smile. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I AM going to learn to knit. One of these days.
steph, beautiful job! and ivy is the perfect little model.
ReplyDeletewow! i love that cape!
ReplyDeletei need to spend some time knitting for Isla.
Are your talents never-ending?
ReplyDeleteOh my ......that is gorgeous and looks perfect on Ivy!
ReplyDeletel o v e it!
Ok, I have to ask: how long have you been knitting? Because I just started a couple of days ago, and that ADORABLE little cape looks about as easy as building a car out of cardboard and potatoes. Please tell me it gets easier, and I will soon have more to show for my efforts than some little squares!
ReplyDeleteI've been knitting about 7 years now or so and it DOES get so much easier! I did take a few classes at the local yarn shop that really helped me get a good grasp on reading patterns. And then just go for it! You will surprise yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteSteph
LOVE
ReplyDeleteOh, I love their yarns and this is so adorable! The buttons are beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color on Ivy and just a lovely little cape. If only I could knit!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I just love seeing Ivy's Small Style every week. Such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and makes me long for the day when my daughter outgrows her "I will only wear dark pink" phase.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Steph. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteOMG Steph! It's just gorgeous. Can you make one in my size? Pretty please? {batting eyelashes}
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I love vintage buttons.
