Another Cute Little Sirdar Pattern... They sure have the cutest things!!!
This is a Vest for Claire.. I did a size 2 for her and I used woolease. You can't read it but the button says " Cute As A Button"

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!!! :)

Her's My Two Little Dinosours !!!!

Complete with Little Bonnet!!!

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!!! :)

Felix went to Disneyworld for his 4th Birthday..They had Lunch with Goofy and his Friends.. The Day was a Fun Filled Adventure for them all....
Here he is showing Sami something..

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...

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...

Two Dinosour Sweaters I just finished for Sami & Felix... They got to Calif. on time for his Birthday!!!
I used Vannas Choice for the Brown one and The Leader Yarn for the Green one..

Life is like a ball of yarn
sometimes when you pull
on the string you get knots.
But do not fret just work them out.

Hre are some Tribbles that I made for My Friend Marilyn...
They are scrubbie dishcloths! :)
They are really nice and I will be making more of them I am sure...
I love cotton dishcloths.
