Ease of Cotton-ease

Back maybe three-four years ago when I first started knitting I used to follow Knitter's Review like a diligent student. When the big hoopla about Lion Brand cotton-ease being discontinued began I fell victim to greed and bought tons of the stuff, in blue, light blue, orange, yellow, any color I could get my grubby little hands on. And you know what? When I finally got around to using the stuff on an actual garment for me, I realized that I hated wearing it. ***(Please also note this yarn it is no longer discontinued so really this was a huge lesson in haste makes waste)****

Anyway, me and Cotton-ease don't mesh on garments but for baby products. I LOVE it! Honestly, L-O-V-E. It washes easily (just wash with warm water and toss in the dryer) and it knits up so fast it almost knits itself.

Without further ado, may I present....

Diamond and Smock Cover

Pattern: Diamond and Smock Cover (pdf link)
Yarn: 5 balls of Cotton Ease in Light Blue on Size 9 needles.
Recipient: Not me =) It's for a friend who is expecting in March.
Likey? Yep. The smocking was fun. It wasn't the best knit for watching movies (the only time I really get to knit) but I made do.

p.s. thanks for all your nice comments about my knockoff!
