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!

Take A Little Time To Enjoy The View!

We got tickets to The View for March 3rd!
Last year I went with First and Last Born. My friend PF was to have gone with us but found out she had Breast Cancer and was about to start the fight of her life.
Happy to say she is doing great and will be going with us this time!!!!


Now to baby knits.

The first is Child's Placket-Neck Pullover. It is a free pattern by Joelle Hoverson.


It is made with Miss Priss Schaefer Yarn. First Born gave me this awhile ago and it was waiting for just the right project.


This is a Debbie Bliss pattern from Baby Knits for Beginners.



I made it with Baby Zarella a Filatura Di Crosa yarn.


It is cute and thank goodness I like to seam because it's made up of five parts!
I don't see the need to made this sweater again when I can get the same raglan style with a top down pattern like the one I'm working on now.


This raglan is more like it and it's free Top Down Raglan Baby Sweater by Carole Barenys.



A few years ago my Husband and I went on a little trip to Mystic Connecticut. We had gone with our daughters many times when they were little and found it to be very peaceful and relaxing. I, as always, checked out the local yarn stores and found Mystic River Yarns.
That's where I found this amazing yarn!
If you are member of Ravelry you must check out Ellyn Copper's yarns because they are amazing!


By the way shouldn't Valentines Day be everyday!

New pictures of old projects

The Debbie Bliss, Baby Bobble Jacket was my first attempt at cables.
The yarn is Rowan handknit dk cotton and was very nice to use with the cables.






The knitty Trellis was my next cable project.






The yarn I used was Adrienne Vittadini Trina that I bought on sale at stix-n-stitches.

As I have said in the past, the buttons can make the sweater. I'm still looking for the right buttons for this sweater.
These were the projects that started my CABLE MADNESS!
