Chad's Scarf

I finally finished it! Now he just has to wait another 7 or 8 months to wear it...

Go Steelers!

Emma knit this coaster in Pittsburgh Steelers colors for Daddy's birthday. Mommy did the casting on and binding off, but Emma did the rest. My lousy crochet edging doesn't do her knitting justice. I'm so proud my 4-year-old can knit!








It also makes a nice resting spot for a duck.

Lion Brand Crochet Top

I made this for Emma. I didn't use the Microspun yarn that it called for because I couldn't find it. I used Caron Simply Soft, but I think it gives it too much stretch. I did eventually find the Microspun, so I'm going to use it for Novalee's. Emma insisted on fuzzy yarn on the bottom, so that's another deviation from the original pattern, and I'm going to redo the collar because the fuzziness makes it too bulky in the overlap. So when I fix that, I post the new picture.

Knitting Needle Lock Down

Made this to stop my knitting needles from escaping.



I think they like it. It's pretty cozy in there.

New Yarn & New Project

It's been a while...

I went to the grand opening of a new yarn shop here in Norman, OK, on Saturday, Yarn & Loops. And here's my new stuff:


I plan to make a pair of socks for my 2 year old niece, Novalee, from the sock yarn and a hat for my four year old niece, Emma, from the purple yarn (since purple is her new favorite color).

I finished the knitting on the baby kimono this weekend and now all that's left is to sew on the ribbon ties. I also finished the crocheted bobble bag, which will be really finished once I sew in the zipper. Pictures will be posted soon...

I cast on a new project this weeked...a lacy baby pullover in Moda Dea Dream that will be a birthday present for a birthday girl in the near future (assuming I finish it in time).


In progress:
- Lacy Baby Pullover
- Very Easy Child's Sweater for Care Wool
