Sunny Baby Blanket

Bright yellow baby blanket for the laundry challenged mother to be, made of wear- like -iron acrylic. Sure, I know it's not organic or Eco-anything, but most likely no animals were harmed in the making of it. And it's indestructible. That's got to count for something, right?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Yarn Basket

Or basket of yarn. I am pleased with the way this turned out. It makes a good storage basket for my yarn. The pattern is the same as the one for the felted kitty beds, just with taller sides. It measures 14" circumference and 10" high. I used up a lot of my stash, but then my neighbor came over and gave me 16 more balls of yarn - enough to fill it up. I can't win.

An Assortment of Hats

Candy Corn
For Halloween, of course.

An Unoriginal Hat
A fun knit of a popular pattern in Red Heart Zoomy.

Love It Hat

Love It is the name of the yarn. I made this recently when I was in Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta. I finished it just in time for the cold weather.

I love knitting hats. They're fast and don't take much yarn. I end up giving most of them away.

This is a Baby Blanket

A small one, 23 inches square, meant to go over a car seat or stroller. Knitted in garter stitch on the diagonal with two skeins of Blue Sky organic cotton. Very soft. And in a gender neutral color too!

Basketweave Blanket

Baby blanket or lap blanket? Or maybe dog blanket. About 32" square. Pretty color, good stitch definition, but not very soft. That's because it's knit from 1970's acrylic that has been in my stash for a very long time. I'll wash it to see if it will soften up, then decide.
I like the pattern though.

Another Not a Baby Sweater

Classic Twinset for the well dressed doll or teddy bear. I knit this to test out my seamless top down teddy bear sweater pattern. It measures 13" around, knit of Red Heart sport yarn.

Blue Felted Bag

Another felted bag, it must be about the 10th bag I've knit. Yes, it is an addiction, but I always find a purpose for them. This one turned out quite nicely. The size is about 9" square, just right for a small knitting project.

A Lovely Shrug

Enough with the baby knitting! Here is something to wear over a summer dress or a sleeveless top while you are walking around a museum or an art gallery. The pattern designer called it a bolero, but I call it a shrug. Knit in Cotton-Ease, a washable cotton -acrylic blend. Very easy to knit, it's essentially a rectangle with a little seaming at both ends.

OK, I'm still going to knit baby things!

Serf Booties

Serf Booties

Or maybe SCA Booties? Knitted and felted. Pattern from Interweave Knits. The soles measure about 4". They turned out darn cute! Not sure what kind of garb would go with them.

Not a Baby Sweater

Mohair Sweater and Hat

It's an American Girl Doll sweater. Do I have one of these dolls? No. Do I know anyone with one.? No. But I had a pattern and a little bit of yarn and so I knit this. I do think the hat came out too small. I'm giving it away, if you know of any little girl with a doll who would like this, let me know.

I've been knitting a lot of small projects lately, because it's too hot to have a lot of wool in my lap
