Knitting baby + sewing toddler projects

We're highlighting two projects today: one knitting for baby and one sewing for toddlers.

Nancy came in for yarn for a baby blanket...she picked out Spud & Chloe Outer Bulky in a luscious chocolatey brown and soft blue.

Here she is with the completed project (blanket pattern from Ravelry).

So pretty!

Now for a sewing project: Here's Liz with Molly. Liz wants to make Molly and her cousin matching dresses...

She picked out a contrasting set of 100% organic Mod Gull and Dots fabrics in rust and mineral from Birch.

Et voila! A fun popover sundress (free downloadable pattern from Oliver & S) for the lucky Molly and her cousin Francesca.
