With a big paper out of the way this last Friday, I took a much needed break from schoolwork on Saturday. In order to rejuvenate myself I got to work finishing up the bunny I started the weekend before and then knit up her dress on the way to IKEA.
That evening I got to work [...]

the hat was intended for a baby, obviously my sizing was off. i should have used different sized needles since i knit so loose. now i just need to work on the size, find a good gauge, and [...]

I have finished two stockings. Well I do still need to put names on them. I figure that I will wait until I finish them all and then put names on, just incase someone has strong feelings toward or against a stocking. I didn’t finish knitting mine until christmas day and I didn’t finish weaving [...]

So, I’ve got Bronwyn’s stocking all knit up. Now I need to duplicate stitch her name or something, probably the letter B, and than Bron’s will be done. I don’t plan on starting my stocking until after finals as knitting is very distracting and addicting.

Well school has picked up and it seems I only have a couple of hours for myself each week. I have been cutting into my study time a little and started Bronwyn’s Christmas Stocking. I am following Laura’s pattern except I am making it a little bigger so I can knit it on 16″ circulars. [...]

This little guy was knit up with cotton yarn using my pattern again. I made him for a child so he has saftey eyes. I followed the pattern with the exception of the eyes and I used size 4 needles instead of the recommended 5. The sweater is not with the patter either. I needed [...]

For some reason I have always been against circular needles or double pointed needles. If a pattern says to use them I always try to convert the pattern to two strait ones. I don’t know what I was thinking. I knit up the pink striped hat on two strait needles and it took me the whole [...]

I figured out what to do with some of my cotton yarn.
This is my first attempt at a bib. I am happy with its size and shape. I had trouble trying to figure out how to make the neck straps curve but I think I got it. The neck is big enough that Bronwyn should [...]

Aren’t these too cute? Know anyone with a baby boy?
I made these for my Etsy shop. They are made with Tahki Cotton Classic yarn. I figured they would be great for those cooler spring/summer nights when your out and about.
I tried them on Bronwyn and I just love how they look and fit.

First I want to apologize for the quality of the photos. I can’t seem to upload pictures without drastically reducing the quality right now. Also Bronwyn wouldn’t hold still so I had a hard time getting a picture in focus.
With that said. These first booties are my favorite. I love the way they fit and [...]

I just finished these last night. I’m not sure why I knitted them other than I need a project to work on while I waited to start on my quilt blocks. These are made out of 100% super soft merino wool. I hand dyed the yarn for the roll brim and cuff. They are made to fit [...]

It is so hard to know how big or small to make a newborn hat. I got lucky.
Here is Bronwyn in her hat I made to bring her home from the hospital in. It still fits her at 2 weeks but I am afraid it will have to be retired very soon.

This is Bailey’s friend Bruce. Bruce and his overalls are made from 100% cotton Worsted Weight yarn.
Here is Bailey in her hooded jacket and Bruce in his roll brim hat and jacket. The hood and hat both have ear holes so their ears dont have to be squished inside.
These guys and their clothes were made with the [...]
