No Time to Blog

My new life has left me little time to blog but much time with the new love of my life!

Lula
Here doing just has her mother did at her age, pulling out all the books.


Here she is wearing one of the many sweaters I made her.


I'm back to making new baby sweaters because Last Born will be having her first baby in November!
YES I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA AGAIN!
Such a blessed life I now live, doing what I've always dreamed of, taking care of my grand babies!
We hope to know the sex of our new little one at the end of June.
For now I am making gender neutral things.

This is the same pattern Lula is wearing above Raglan Cardigan with Fully Fashioned Shaping by Debbie Bliss.

The hat is a free pattern Little Boy Blue Ribbed Baby Hat by Tonya Wagner. found here

Here is one of Lula's friends modeling another one I made.



This is a great free pattern Top Down Raglan Baby Sweater by Carole Barenys found here

It also had a ribbed hat to match.

I've also made some gloves. This is a pair I made for my husband. The pattern is free Ken
by Berroco Design Team found here



I lost my Mother, Father and Brother between 1990 and 1993. My birth family all gone in 3 years. After that we spent many years just the four of us. Now there is new life as the family grows again. Everyday is a gift I hold very dear!

Oh Yes I Did!

My lupus flares keep me from moving so my goal this summer is to start moving more.
I hope the Wii Fit will help.


I started yesterday and was sad to see how little I could do.
I hope to be better and able to do more as the summer goes on.


On the knitting front I finished the Welig gloves by Robin Melanson.



The pattern can be found in Knitting New Mittens & Gloves a great bookby Robin Melanson.This pattern is well written and the cable chart is very easy to follow.


I made them out of Berroco Ultra Alpaca so they are super soft and warm.


I'm up to 11 hand wear projects. Most knitter/crocheters hate doing detail work but I enjoy it. I guess that's why I like making gloves and doing the fingers!
Yes there are more gloves on the way and another lace shawl.
