Piccolo Coniglio
Piccola 70.
A little Kit70 in Lamb Linen for Pia using leftovers from the short pullover. The perfect left over* yarn project. It is finished with 2 little black rabbit buttons made of horn (decorative only) from Linnet, and large press studs inside holding it together. The neck, Oh God! the neckfold is just beautiful on her little soft neck, and the fabric is so soft. Every time the Short Pullover comes out, Pia wraps herself in it and pretends to put herself to sleep with it over her, or to do the same to her dolls, so I hope she'll like this just as much. Worn with a dark denim skirt, or with the grey (or grape for that matter) linen circle skirt, and her new black shoes and cream cable wool socks, this is going to be one stylish girl. If I do say so myself.
* This would have been the perfect left over yarn project except I ran out of left over yarn, so ordered more 'left over' yarn. And over ordered beyond belief, so now have even more 'left over' yarn than when I began....
I absolutely adore the rabbit buttons!!!

It is so beautiful- a perfect wardrobe staple and yes, she is, just like her mamma.
Did you find the cabled socks somewhere or knit them?

totally adorable.
i was wondering about the next left over yarn project but i think caterine has the perfect solution! (you do feel like knitting a third variation of this jacket, don't you?!)
[and i am enjoying visions of the matching 'mummy and me' fashion spread... hee hee]

If there's one thing I love in life, it's miniature versions of things...this is genius! I love the story of her putting herself to sleep with it...sounds like she is a fan. Now, what to do with the new leftover yarn? A little hat (there is a baby Koolhaas hat in Ravelry calling your name) or leg warmers?

Lovely - your knit projects are so wonderful. Well all your projects are wonderful its just that the knitted pieces translate especially well into the photographs. They look irresistible!
