Baby Cardigan and Tasman Summer Tunic
I finally finished off a couple lingering kids' projects that I was working on. The first is a cardigan for my friend Venks's new baby. The boy is named Vivaan and he was born about two weeks ago. The wool is Wired for Fibre's "Elizabeth" sock wool in colour Serenity. The pattern is free and is knitted sideways (cuff-to-cuff). I got some adorable teddy bear buttons from the button shop in the Rocks last Saturday to finish it. I can't wait to see it on Vivaan!

Next is the Tasman Summer Tunic for my niece Indie. The pattern is by Just Jussi and is available as a free Ravelry download. I knitted the smallest size and used three balls of Morris Paddington (80% bamboo, 20% merino) in colour #611 "Dover". I left off the beads at the hem, but other than that I didn't change anything. The ribbon at the front is very cute, and I found a pretty star button to use as the closure at the back. I hope it fits her!
