It spins nice and easy while you knit so the yarn ball is not flopping all around the place.. Thanks Tom !! I Love it!!!!

This is a neat gadget that I found at an Estate sale today...... You pull it or make it smaller to mark yor place where your buttons and buttonholes go and they are evenly spaced and you can use it for sewing .....it had the widths of the buttonholes ...It opens and closes like an accordian

2010-04-10T12:23:00.001-04:00

2010-02-07T19:43:00.000-05:00

THis is a Sirdar Pattern and it is for Sami... Her Mama bought me the yarn for this ohhhhh about 4 years ago.. Which is Sirdar Snuggly and I just love it... It looks all white in the photo but there are tiny bits of mint and yellow in it also... The sweater feels soooooooooooooo soft!!! It was very interesting keeping all the holes in the right places!

This one is for Claire ( if it fits her) I did a 1-2 size but it seems small to me...( Maybe not) We will see...
The yarn is Valentino Cotton which I had in my stash for years!!! Its so nice to be using my stash..I have been very good and not buying any yarn for a few months now.. No Withdrawal Symptoms Yet!!! :)

2010-01-23T20:55:00.000-05:00

I LOVE this sweater.. It has to be the cutest little baby sweater I have made in a long time... After following the directions the pattern became clearer as to what was happening.. The pattern is from an old Bernat Baby Book from 1954.. As it happened I was using a Bernat Baby Yarn with a # 3 needle for this sweater...
I wish you could see and feel this Very Dainty Sweater as the photo really does not do it justice... It feels so Light and Fluffy!!! :)

2010-01-18T19:52:00.000-05:00

2010-01-13T19:56:00.000-05:00

This is the beginning of a baby sweater that I have started... I know.. I know.. I said the same thing... "What the heck".....
I started with casting on 36 stitches with this Very Fine baby Yarn.. Then I have to make 36 of these ( bubble like) rows which consist of 6 rows of knit stitch on each side of the fabric.. So that will be 216 rows.. hummmm Are you still with me here???
IN this photo I still have 9 more rows of 6 to do....
Tonight I get to do Step 2 of this adorable sweater ( That is if I do it correctly) :)
This is a pattern from a really old baby book and I just thought it was so cute that I had to make one...
I'll post more pictures as I go along...

2010-01-07T19:20:00.000-05:00

This is The Blue Sky Alpaca Baby Dress...
It is so cute and dainty looking for a Baby Girl...
I used Pingouin Corrida 3 Cotton yarn which is a fingering weight. I made a 6-12 month size and the size works out pretty much on the mark .I did do mine about an inch longer than suggested just because I wanted to.. :)

OK.. No I'm on to the second project for 2010....
What is everyone planning on their list to make for this year? I know my list is pretty full already...

2009-12-30T19:36:00.000-05:00

Life is like a ball of yarn

MEOW.........

2009-10-11T16:43:00.000-04:00

The Forever Scarf......................Why oh Why is it taking me so long?????
My Daughter Terry has been waiting and waiting for me to send her a scarf... I don't know what it is with me and scarves... I have so many of them on needles but I have such a hard time getting them finished... I do a little and then start knitting something else.. I can make a sweater or a blanket or a shawl in less time then it takes me to Finish a darn little scarf..
What is it??? Do I just have a thing against scarves???
I think its the fact that they go on and on forever in the same stitch and the same number of stitches that it just gets me so darn BORED !!! It practically gives me Anxiety just thinking of it while I am knitting.. LOL.. I would almost rather clean the house than have to kit a scarf from start to finish... Well... ALMOST!!!
I did this one with a feather & fan bottom and then started stockinette stitch because I liked the feel of the yarn in St . Stitch..
I did garter on the ends so that it would not roll. BUT Guess What??? yes.. It rolls right up and it bothers me to no end...
I will continue to torture myself and get this thing finished so Terry can be warm up in Buffalo But I will not enjoy doing it...
I'm going to do another FAST one for her but this time I will use bulky yarn and BIG needles... It will be a shorter Torture Time...
Soooo I guess if you want me to knit you something... Don't expect a scarf....

2009-10-11T16:22:00.000-04:00

Oh No.. No.. No.. This can not be my "LITTLE" First Grandaughter Allie!!!!

I love You Allie!!!

Nice and Bright, Right?? Guess it will make it easy to see where the kids are :)
One is for Felix and I made Sami's more "Girly"
I was up 'digging" into my age old Stash in the attic and Catherine commented about this antique yarn I had ... so I was "Thinking" Hummm.. I bet that would make some cute hats!!! And I think it did!!! The yarn is belonged to my stash that is at least 12 years old!!!! :)
Good Stash Busters!!!!

So.. My Daughter *April* sent me a photo of this Hat and said " Can you make me one?"
Well... I did the best I could.. Its a little different but more or less the same :) When I saw the photo I wasn't even sure that it was knitted... It looks like a stretch fabric hat but I think she will like this one.. I tried it on and it looks cute... Naturally it will look much better on April :)
I did a little rib becaue it was rolling too much but when its on you don't even notice the rib that much..
Anyway.. It goes off in the mail this week along with the other hats...

Another Shawl finished :)

This one is definately for "Me".....
It is the perfect size that I like and the weight is how I like it and the color is nice... Its a green with specks of red-yellow-white and black in it... A cotton yarn.. I do not know the name because I bought skeins of it years ago without labels on them...
The Pattern is from Ravelry.. Elanas Simple Shawl... I did a border on it with points.. I didn't block it so thats whay they are not so "pointy".. But I plan on just throwning it in the washer like my Friend Mary does with her cotton shawl.. Hopefully I will get some wear out of this one..

Now I have a few more shawls that I just have to make BUT... Its time to do some sweaters for the Kiddos being that it will be getting cold pretty soon... First on the list is Claire because she is in Buffalo... Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

I haven't posted a completed Project this week .. So just incase you think I have been sitting around
with " Idle Hands from Devils Workshop"..
These are th WIPS I am working on.. Well... SOME of them :)

This is The All Way Wrap from Fall 09 Interweave Knitters...
The Cable Design in the pattern was giving me a real pain in the Butt so after three trys I decide to go with My Own Cable Pattern.. It looks Lovely and Feels so nice.. Its a long Wrap so it will be a while till I finish it especially with so many other projetcs going on.. But it will be such Fun when they all come to the Finish Line :)

This is a Simple Shawl from Ravelry....Lala's Simple Shawl....
I have had skeins of this yarn For a while now.. So I finally started something with it..
I also gave some to my Knit Friends and they will be making something of their choice..
It looks all green here but it has specks of black, yellow & red in it..

The Beginning of an Afghan.. The actual colors are pink and lilac but it looks like blue and white here which also looks nice :)
Can you see The Hearts ???? No... Look Again ..... Ok..... Now Your See Them, Right!!!

I did a hat to go with The Scarf I am making... I started the scarf and then remembered that I had another skein so I did the hat so that now I know how much I have left for the scarf.. Make sense ?? Ohhh Sure it does....
The Hat is Cabled and The scarf is a simple K2 p1 pattern.. I started with a slip stitch on the ends..

I hd this glorious ball of oh so soft Alpaca which was given to me last year from a Friend.. ...Lori...
I don't know how much is in it but I started this scarf and it looks like it will make a pretty good length... It feels wonderful!!!!
The Scarf Pattern is from Yarn Harlot.. Another simple K2, K tbl, p1... Easy Peasy!!!

I sent Little Claire her Sweater two weeks ago and her Mommy took her picture right away and sent it to me...
I posted it in Ravelry and forgot to put her here in My Blog!!!!
Terry usually does not send many photos so I have to use them while I can... :) Now she knows how to take them with her phone so I'll get more of them .....
So Claire loved her sweater and hugged it when she got it... Awwwwwww !!!
And Look... It fits Perfect!!!!
Hi Claire... Grandma love you!!!! (((((HUGS))))XXXOOO
