Kn itting from my stash!

I was sent some beautiful Irish Bainin by Jo and then when I borrowed Cheryl Oberle's book "Folk Vests" and saw this vest, I knew immediately that my Irish Bainin would be made up into this wonderful vest! I am definitely going to buy Cheryl's book on vests, as there are about three more that I want to knit! I had planned to knit the Bainin into a cross over vest from Sally Melville, but you know these cross over garments look lovely in the photo, but tugging and re arranging them does not look lovely! It is like tied scarves - looks easy in the books and some women can pull it off, but not me. Now why this is underlined - beats me!!Friends of ours, actually Bob is our computer 'geek' , just had twins. A dear little boy and girl! I wanted to knit something for them, and I was thinking about it and remembered my book by Leigh Radford - 'Oneskein" and I knew what I would make for the twins. I have some left over deep raspberry cotton from my Green Gables sweater and a ball of a beautiful navy cotton - all in my stash. The little hat, I have made it before, and it is easy, fast and really cute. The sweater is going along well, so I think I will have these little garments finished really soon. The little boy is home from hospital, as he reached the magical 'six pounds'. The little girl is still in hospital, as she has a cleft palate, so her feeding problems are being sorted. She can suckle well, but if she regurgitates, it can go up through the nose and that is not good. She has also reached the magic number, but should be home in the next few days!

I think they will get some use from these little clothes, and it is so nice to knit small things!!
