First Steps

 





I'm working on a baby onesie for an order. I've spun the wool, dyed it and rolled it into balls. I hope it'll be enough, I have no experience in knitting baby clothes. I looked on Ravelry for a pattern and found one called Simply Sweet, by Drops Designs. I'll have to adapt it a little to match the picture I was sent. The dark pink wool in the picture is to embroider the baby's name across the front, for instance. Since it's a multisize pattern, my first task was to mark the figures for the size I'll be making:


My next task is to check the needle size by knitting a gauge swatch. Then I'll be ready to cast on.
