Ribbit… Ribbit…

I’m afraid both of the projects I was actually making progress on have been tossed to the frog pond. I messed up somewhere at the underarm joining of the EZ baby sweater and that completely messed up the gull stitch pattern… I’m still novice enough that I have no idea how to frog [...]

Too many projects

As always seems to happen to me, I have startitis and get too many things going at once, so all the projects suffer V-E-R-Y slow progress.
Over the weekend, I did make a little progress on E’s Hearts blanket, but not much. I think it would be easier and more fun to knit this blanket [...]

Neutral Baby Gift Set

The last piece of the baby gift set is seamed and ready to go. I finished the Debbie Bliss boatneck sweater this morning and decided last minute to add a striped pocket because the winter white color was way too boring!
A close up of the pocket:

I’m not happy with how the buttons worked out, [...]

Progress shot

The Rowan Wool Cotton is becoming a blanket for E. I’m following the Hearts and Stars Blanket pattern from Adorable Knits for Tots–I just subbed the yarn. And skipped the stars part because my little princess likes “pink hearts, no stars, just hearts.”
I had never felt or seen the wool cotton, [...]

Next up… Any guesses?

It’s pink, it’s girly, and it’s big…

I’ll at least have some progress shots soon. I’ve decided to scrap the bear toy and booties that were to be part of the gift set. I’m hoping to have the last element of the gift set done this week, so pictures will be posted then.

BSJ #2

This one in Lion Brand Baby Soft cream color on size 7 Knit Picks Options circular needles at a gauge of 5spi. A little loose for my liking, but it’s still nice. I also don’t care too much for the color… or lack thereof. I might try another bsj in a solid [...]

Duck and Gift Set

Here is the completed duck toy:

The duck toy was made following a pattern from the Knitted Toys book by Fiona McTague using Red Heart Sport in yellow and pumpkin on size 3 needles. I used the entire skein of yellow and about half, maybe a bit less of the pumpkin. He’s a little [...]

Baby Surprise Jacket & Booties

It took only 3 days to finish the Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern for the Baby Surprise Jacket and I loved it!!! I can’t wait to make more of them… They just look so cool and the way they transform into a little almost seamless cardigan is so neat! I finished this several days [...]

Central Park Hoodie

I finished seaming the Central Park Hoodie made for a friend’s daughter last night, but wanted to wait until this morning when the sun was out to take a picture of it. You’ll probably notice that the cables flatten out toward the neck, but that’s only because the hoodie is too small for my [...]

Bunny Buddies 1 & 2

I have a handful of friends or acquaintances who are expecting babies in May, June, and July, so I’m working on little gift packs for them all… First up are two bunny buddies. The pattern for these can be found on Lion Brand’s website, but I don’t like the yarn called for, so [...]
