No new projects

I go totally nuts when I don't have a project to work on. I'm just knitting a basic garter stitch scarf for teacher gifts (I needed 2 and I'm on the 2nd). They are nothing fancy, just a bulky yarn with fun fur...they do look pretty though and I'm sure the teacher's will love them. I had to make 5 of them but couldn't finish before christmas, so I'm doing them now.

I found out a couple of weeks ago that I'm pregnant with number 7! I decided yesterday that I'm going to knit this baby his/her baptism gown. I have a basic pattern for a top that I modify to make dresses, different type of tops, etc...the possibilities are endless. It's going to look somewhat like the little dress I made in my last post. Simple, yet beautiful. I just need to find some really nice white yarn, or I might just make it out of organic merino in natural, as I already have a sweater made out of that same yarn. I don't know, I have some time...or so I think LOLOL. I just might have to get started soon.

Until next time.....Knit On!

Dress and Longies

This is the fastest outfit I ever knit in my entire life. It took a total of 2.5 days. This outfit is for a gal I post with on a message board...I told her when she was pregnant that I would knit her a pair of longies out of organic merino wool, as she cloth diapers. Well, I never got around to it, and before I know it, she has the baby...a girl! I was thrilled as I had this cute brown/pink yarn that I dyed, so I made legging type longies. I then knit this little dress and dyed it brown to go with the leggings. I might embroider or duplicate stitch something on it, but I'm not sure.

Finally scarf pictures

I spent so much time knitting the scarves, I finally got the pictures after I was all finished. I had to dye 4 of them, and they came out so pretty. I had to over dye one, but that was not a big deal...there was just too much unevenness LOL.

I had alot of fun with them, but I'm done for a while...I guess I got a little burnt out. I knit 6 of the cabled scarves for one friend, and 5 for another. That's a lot.!! Oh, the other dyed scarf was sapphire blue and fifth was just natural.
