Messing around with some 1:12 knitting. This pattern may be obvious to folks who were knitting a few years back — it's a miniature version of Lisa Shobhana Mason's "Big Bad Baby Blanket" from the first Stitch 'n Bitch book (2004). It's in Caron's Impressions wool/silk thread, in the "Abalone" color, wh. is very pretty. My border probably could have been a stitch smaller all around to better match the original, but it didn't come out too badly for a first attempt, and the thread blocks very well, so I'm happy. This was worked on 3/0 needles (1.5mm), I think — the only needle gauge I have that is small enough is from Hong Kong, so it says 17, which I am assuming is correct!
In other news, I found a frame shop on Etsy that had something quite perfect for my "Zoé Elie" — this framer makes new frames out of old-stock molding, and so they have that antique look while being a custom size should one need it.
