This is my first ever knit with Matawa, which I started while taking Stephanie’s class at River Colours. I’m so stoked with how it’s coming out after just a few rows. I have about half a dozen pregnant people that I can think of, so really it’ll be a present for whoever I wind up needing a shower gift for! Right now I’m leaning towards Suzy, since her baby is due in November-ish, the perfect time for a silk baby bonnet.

6/30/12 - Finished! I really have no comments on the pattern, it’s perfectly written. I learned a lot from doing this project and would TOTALLY work with silk mawata again. This whole thing has made me really just rethink the concept of fiber and needing to spin it at all, if that makes sense. I still need to work on the drafting thing. I thought I was getting it towards the end there, but there are a few patches where it became really thin on me and a few patches that were pretty thick that I just had trouble working with. But I loved it! I’ll swing by Joanne’s to get a cute ribbon to tie it off with. I only have 4 grams left, which is definitely not enough to make the booties as well…everyone else only managed to make most of one bootie with that much left. I’m thinking of making wee little baby mitts or maybe a little wrist-warmer for myself, so I have something from my first ever mawata experience.
