My knitting group is knitting baby hats for our local hospital. We decided to use the same yarn and pattern. We are using TLC Cotton Plus, Lavender. It is perfect. I am writing up a pattern for us to use. As you can see this is not original. I have just adjusted the size of what I normally make for a newborn. I knit quite a few hats a year so I just cast on and go. Once again nothing original.
This lovely Tidepool Heather will become a beret, Gretel by Ysolda and a pair of mittens. I am leaning toward the cabled mittens from Charmed Knits. These will be for my lovely niece's 18th birthday. I have until the end of October to get them knit. Plenty of time.
And this yarn will become...
I am looking forward to casting on for this monster! I love fair isle and it's time to kick it up a notch from hats and mittens to this! Now which to start first!

The hats are so sweet, lovely colour! I can't wait to see the vest, it will be wonderful!
Wow! Lots of yarn to knit!
I admire your commitment to your local hospital. That's awesome!
I can't wait to see what you will knit first. You have wonderful options. I love the Gretel beret and the mittens. I have never attempted to knit fair isle but I love how it looks. You go girl!!!
Wow! The vest looks intimidating to me, but we will cheer you on! Looks like lots of knitting fun ahead for you!
Hey! I just saw that in your queue and was going to ask you when you planned on casting on... I'm excited for you! I don't have the nerve for something that complex yet...although the hat I made was so much fun (I was listening to great books at the time ) I think I would like to do some more colourwork in the future
I'm excited about the vest!
