Project Name: Heavenly Haze Tunic

Pattern Source: Knit One, Crochet Too Leaflet

Comments:
I got several balls of this yarn from another knitter on the Knitswap list, then bought some more at Personal Threads in Omaha. This tunic gets its shaping from changing needle sizes instead of decreasing stitches - you start with 6US needles and end up with 4US needles. Despite how gauzy this is, it's quite warm because of the mohair/silk yarn. I'm also not happy with the length - I should have knit it a little longer.

Comments:
Cotton Classic is my favorite cotton yarn. The hat is designed by Theresa Gaffey, who works at The Yarnery in St. Paul. I used a bootie pattern that was posted to the Knitlist which is my favorite bootie pattern. This set was made for a friend's new baby - the hat is a little large, but he'll grow into it :-)
