fall knitting projects

So, so happy to have wrapped up Em's swing coat and E's matching hat. I fell in love with this jacket from the Mason-Dixon knitting book - the same one I found the Emma Peel dress in.




I used KnitPicks yarn, repurposed three buttons from an old shirt of mine, and embroidered the sweet little ferns freehand. I made E a sort-of matching hat and I am also making one for Tall House Double Cup.
Em loves it - yea!
