Last week Baby John’s cashmere sweater came off my needles. Am I insane to knit a cashmere sweater for a 5 month baby? Probably. But he’s my munchkin to spoil. However, I will say I paid a total of $8 for this cashmere.

I’ve been finishing a few projects lately. One of them was the crochet mitts — I added flowers. Aren’t they cute? I haven’t settled on the pattern yet, it needs a few tweaks! But someday soon!
