I went out this morning to Fabric Place and bought cute summer fabric to line my summer bag, finally--now that it is the end of July. . .
**This pattern is from the premiere issue (Fall '04) of Woman's Day Knitting & Crocheting.

I'm currently working on a cardigan for my nephew who was born this past April. It's in Tahki Cotton Classic in a chocolate brown color. I plan to put sports-themed buttons on it when I'm finished.
**The pattern is from the old Knitting Digest called Precious Jewel Baby Set {there's matching hat, booties, and blanket}. It used to be available free online but now that the magazine is Creative Knitting, I don't see it anymore. If interested, I'd email the editor at Creative Knitting and inquire about the July 2003 issue and this pattern.
