Pepita

The young couple at the end of our laneway are having a baby and I want to
give them something from my handspun. I decided on a pair of rompers which would be warm enough for a wee one, but they will be washed often. They needed to be superwash merino.  So a road trip to Rose Haven Farm in
Picton was planned.  Rick and Michelle were going that way Sunday afternoon anyway so I decided to tag along.  Rose Haven Farm store didn't
let me down.  I purchased some black/white/grey superwash Merino from dyeingforcolour.etsy.com expecting it to be the hohum superwash that I've
purchased in the past.  Not so this stuff! it is so soft and wonderful to spin
with just like spinning butter.  I decided to have a look into this dyeingforcolour.etsy.com and found she is from Trenton and has purchased a mill. Maybe another road trip is in my near future!
I found a great pattern over at ravelry called Pepita and this pattern calls for Superwash Merino, added a few rows of beads to the front.  Actually I planned to make three hearts out of beads but forgot that the romper is knit top down and the heart pattern was ending up upside down.  Didn't feel like
starting over so the diamond pattern was improvised.  ahem!

Here's a sneak peak!
