I finished a LOT of baby knitting for my cousin's baby shower this past Saturday. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the pile of baby knits.

So, that included some Lion Brand Wool-ease, which is a 20% wool 80% acrylic yarn. I've gotten to be pickier about my knitting yarn since I discovered that yarn was made out of more than just acrylic! I usually don't use acrylic much anymore, but t… Continue
