as august comes to an end
Aug 31st, 2006 by Ginger
I have some FOs.
ÂÂ
pattern: Einstein Coat from The Knit Stitch by Sally Melville
yarn: Classic Elite Paint Box
needles: Clover Bamboo US10 & Brittany Birch US8
cast on: Aug 2nd   cast off:  Aug 23rd   completed: Aug 31st
notes: I loved knitting this sweater. The pattern is so simple but the look is timeless. Bug loves the sweater but pointed out it needs pockets. At some point I may add a couple of afterthought pockets, ala Elizabeth Zimmerman, but not right now. Right now I am going to enjoy the finished sweater.
And what would a month be without a dishcloth, or three . . .
Left to right: Garterlac dishcloth in Sugar n’ Cream Westport, MDBD in Sugar ‘n Cream Cornflower and Jute, Garterlac dishcloth in Sugar ‘n Cream Rosewood (this one reminds me of neopolitan ice cream)

What an adorable little jacket for the Bug! Lucky girl!
Wow the coat looks great on Bug. That will be wonderful when the cooler weather hits.
The Einstein is adorable!! I might have to knit another one…
It looks great! Love the buttons and the fun yarn you used for it. Perfect little jacket ;)
Great dishcloths too! I have the same pink/brown cotton colorway in the stash. I want to try one of these garterlac ones. Very cool.
