progress on the blanket

i am making progress on the blanket. i have learned to do a pintuck, which i never did before. this is going to be a BIG blanket.

i cant wait to finish though b/c im making The Babywearer next. Its a poncho that allows you to wear your baby in an Ergo or Mai Tai. Its so cute! You can see what it looks like here:

one more pix of the sweater before i have to rip it all apart.

yummy organic cotton sweater

This is a sweater I knitted Ethan but its way too small. I love the organic cotton yarn but Im going to rip it all out and knit a larger sweater for him. Oh well....Live and Learn!

Green Blanket with Hearts

This is the blanket I am working on now. This is NOT my baby and NOT the blanket I have made yet. My blanket is in progress right now (about 1/3 done at the moment)

My version

So this is my version of the Honey Bee Hat. But I don't like the yarn I used, so Im waiting to add the beas to some yummy organic cotton yarn.

Honey Bee Hat

so we were in a yarn shop in Portsmouth, NH and saw this hat. So I wanted to knit it!

Maggie's Little Bag

I knitted this little bag as a gift for a friend of mine's daughter, Maggie. This is the first time I added any embellishments to my knitting and one of the first times I knitted anything in a pattern. This bag was fun but I would knit in in the round if I did it again. and the I-cord could have been done much better. Practice makes perfect, right? Well, I've been practicing!

Baby sleeping on Blue Knitted Blanket

This picture shows how large the blanket is. :)

Scarf

This was my first scarf. A bit large for Ethan. I knitted it for Michael, mny middle son. But he was unavailable for modeling when I took the picture.

Baby Blanket

This isn't the greatest picture of the blanket, but it is such a cute picture of the baby! :) This is my first blanket and I estimated it took me approximately 80 hours to knit. Wow!

Sweater & Hat

This is my first sweater and hat. Ethan has outgrown them by now put they were cute. of course, it was my FIRST one, so not that great of a job. I didn't like the yarn I chose to do this with. I won't use that type of yarn again. It didn't feel good. :(

another blue soaker on my beautiful baby boy

This one was using Merino wool, multicolored! :)

The first thing i started knitting was soakers. I use cloth diapers for my baby and wool soakers are the best covers, so that was my inspiration for learning to knit. A few pix of soakers I have knitted are pictured here.

This is one of the first ones I did. Then i "tried" to add a flower! That didn't turn out too well. But, hey, it was my first time!

My new knitting blog

here is where i will post things i have knitted and things that i am currently working on.
