What a Difference a Day Makes

I was going to wait to post this but First Born has already posted on her blog.
I'm going to be a Grandma!!!!!
First Born is the writer in the family and she has been writng about her 3 year struggle having a baby on her blog.
She is only 6 weeks so we are taking it one step at a time.

Last Born couldn't wait to buy something!



Now to some fiber work.
I started this crochet blanket years ago. Now that a baby is on the way I wanted to finish it.


I made it out of Bernat Handicraft Cotton. I love the feel of this blanket and the shell stitch pattern I used for it.




I started this sweater last week as soon as we found out about the Baby.



It's a free pattern from Lion Brand Heirloom Cables Baby Sweater.


It is made with Cascade 220 Tweed. I love working with this yarn and the pattern was easy.
I put button holes on both sides to play it safe.


The Chalk Dust Knitters/Crocheters met up Thursday.


There was less knitting/crocheting but lots of eating and talking about Grandbabies.


I would like to thank almondrose
for this

She has a great blog and if you have not checked it out you must do so!
I was to tell ten things about myself.
I'm going to be a Grandma is my 10 things.

My 100th Post!

My Tower of Gloves!




I have given many away but still have a few.



Just finished this pair out of Cascade 220 Tweed.
I used the Blackthorn pattern from Knitting New Mittens & Gloves by Robin Melanson.
I didn't add the little vest part as I had on my first pair and I used a 1x1 Rib for the cuff. I just love tweed yarn!


These are the same pattern without the Rib cuff and made out of Noro Kureyon. I love the natural rustic look and the beautiful colorway Noro creates.



Now my venture into Fair Isle Gloves! Winter Twilight Mitts
These are for my First Born. A free pattern from Knittingdaily Winter Twilight Mitts that I am working on making gloves. I hope it works and I don't have to frog them because my daughter doesn't like them as mitts. Time will tell.



These are for my Last Born and are also a free pattern, from Interweave Norwegian Gloves
(when you go to the link scroll down to find the pattern)
They are beautiful gloves but the pattern is a little confusing for my old brain.
I was able to finish the little finger after frogging it once and have started the ring finger.



The palm and the thumb gusset are also very beautiful.


The reason for the missing pictures is because Geocity is no more. I must wait for First Born to fix it.
