charming!


My Aunt Tillie sent this fabulous charm to me for Christmas. It took me forever to get a close-up picture that was not blurry and I finally got a decent shot. I guess I could have read the instructions that came with the digital camera...that would have been too easy. I just love this. I need to dig out my old charm bracelet!!

Started 2/13 for a baby to be born in June. If I knit one "strip" per week, I will have it done in seven weeks!
This pattern is really cute- Zoe Mellor's Hearts & Stars blanket pattern knit with Cascade Sierra 80 cotton/20 wool in pink.
