Skillfully Wrought: Kickle Pickle Sleep Sack Test Knit

Skillfully Wrought

Psalm 139:15 says, "My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."(NKJV) The phrase "skillfully wrought" means "(1)to variegate, mix colours, (b)to be skilfully wrought or woven". It amazes and humbles me to know that God used such creativity to fashion each us! Not only that, but because we were created in His image we have been given that same desire and ability to be creative! What a gift!

Kickle Pickle Sleep Sack Test Knit

Pattern

The Kickle Pickle Sleep Sack by Debbie Robson

Large

Needles

US 10 1/2 - 6.5 mm

Yarn

Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky

Natural Bare (dyed by me with Kool-Aid)

Started - November 2, 2010

Completed - November 8, 2010

Frogged

Notes: For testing and before publishing, the pattern said 3 skeins would be enough to make the pattern in size Large but the yardage requirements have now been changed.

3 skeins wasn’t enough for me to finish this projects. I finished the pattern using some other WOTA Bulky yarn but will probably frog at least part of it after I decide whether to try to dye another skein to “match” or to re-knit the whole thing in the small size.

The pattern itself was a very fun knit! I really enjoyed watching the sleep sack take shape. I’m already excited about making another one! :)

(I wasn't happy with the need to use a different yarn for the "bib" part of the sleep sack so I ended up frogging it.)

About Me

Name: Leah

Location: Hammond, New York, United States

My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 12 years. We have five precious children so far, 3 sons and 2 daughters here on earth! We are praying for many more baby blessings! My husband works with his parents on our organic dairy farm. We also raise many other farm animals and grow most of our own food. I began teaching myself to knit in August of 2007. I started with dishcloths and quickly moved on to more challenging projects. I hope to learn how to spin very soon! In mid-November of 2010 I opened an Etsy shop to sell knitting and fiber arts supplies. I'm excited to see what the future holds!
