I told Emma I would make her something as well in my learning to knit project. I picked some pink yarn for her and it was the first thing I cast on. I abandoned that and finished Davis' scarf first. Then came back to Emma's.
I cast on far too many stitches for it to be a scarf. So we decided she could use a doll blanket. She picked out some ribbon (this was mostly to hide the not so good knitting at the top and the couple of holes that I managed to do.) to embellish the blanket.
Last night I finished her blanket. It is kind of wonky. But it works for her dolly. It is also very soft (cotton yarn).
Next up is knitting in the round. My next project is going to be newborn hats and matching socks. In these projects, I will not only learn knitting in the round but also increase and decrease stitches. I hope that by August I am ready to tackle some longies.
Also, Emma has requested a purse. More like a pouch type purse. So I will add that to my learning projects. That should be good for learning how to do a cord.....
