Fringe Hammock Progress

I did manage to find myself some US Size 35 knitting needles at Michaels (A.C. Moore did not have them). I was thankful to find them in a store so that I didn't have to order them online. The Homespun Lion Brand yarn was also on sale for 3 for $10 at A.C. Moore and since that was the yarn I needed, I was quite happy! I got a set of yarn for a boy fringe hammock and a girl fringe hammock.
Here is just a teaser picture of the edge of the hammock. I really like how pretty it looks. It was really easy to complete! I am very excited for my photo shoot to get a chance to use it!
After completing the body of the pattern, I have decided that it isn't quite wide enough to my liking so I am going to alter it when I do the girl pattern. I would like it a little wider to fit better in to bigger baskets. I would rather it be too big than too small. After reviewing the pattern I do believe this would be an easy task.

Once all the fringe is put on the hammock, I will post final pictures to share with you!

Operation Fringe Hammock

Today I venture to A.C. Moore for a LARGE pair of knitting needles...US Size 35! I have never used such big needles, so this should be interesting. Why am I buying such large needles you ask? I am on a mission to knit a fringe hammock for newborn photo shoots! I am excited to make it and try it out during my photo shoot in March. A.C. Moore also has the Homespun yarn on sale that is used to make the hammock. So hopefully my trip can be a successful one! I will post pictures and updates as the project begins. Because of the large size of the needles it shouldn't take too long to finish the projects.

I also ordered my Amy Butler: Style Stitches book last night for the sew along! I am very excited to sew a new bag/purse. The one on the cover is the most intriguing! That would make a great weekender bag for traveling! Stay tuned for updates on the sew along!
