This is the bassinett I made the skirt and hood for. I did it out of sage 500 count Egyption cotton sheets - very soft! And I knitted the hood cover for the front from the shawl pattern I found at The Thrifty Knitter - the leaf pattern shawl - out of organic cotton. I was happy with the way it came out - notice the light/music/vibrate control - they think of everything these days!



Here is the Big Bad Baby Blanket from Stitch N Bitch knitted in Schachenmayer's denim. After I washed and dried it, it of course shrunk a little (which it's supposed to do) and faded, just like denim jeans. The only problem was, you can see where the ends are woven in. So, from now on, my knitting will be higher quality because I learned the wonderful ends treatment found at Knitting Daily.





Here is the Umbilical Cap from Stitch N Bitch, the off center baby jacket found at f. pea's Free Pattern Fridays, and the drawstring pants from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. All knitted in the same Schachenmayer's denim in 3 different colors. People just ooohed and aaahed over this little outfit!



This is my own design - a bunting knitted in Sublime in ivory and taupe. It is a dream to knit with! I felt okay to put buttons down the front, since they want babies sleeping on their backs now.


So that's it for now - I think I'll go enjoy my family - and maybe do a little knitting -




My 2nd Post!







I started this blog over a year ago to talk about my knitting, and got too busy knitting to post! But I am ready! And the impetus for this is my new GRANDSON!!!! Here is Jackson with his Grammy - ME!



I have done some knitting for Jackson and gifted my DDIL, Amy, with it at her shower. This baby got sooooooo many clothes! I won't be knitting for him, clothes that is, until Christmas 2008! But I do have a lovely kit from Morehouse for a dragon he might get before that - ssshhhhh don't tell anyone - it will be a surprise! hahahahahahaha



Here is the knitting I have done so far:
