Some recent knitting fun

Yesterday morning I set upon the task of taking photos of what I've been knitting in the last month or two. I still need to take photo's of my completed sewing projects but Andy's been wearing them so they're on the clothes line.

Jan./Feb. Finished Knitting Projects...

I knit these shorties for a friend in England who had a Baby Boy a few months ago. I knit a medium so hopefully it will reach him while it will still fit. I also knit a pair of Saartjie Bootees to match but still need to sew on the buttons.


One of my favourite family blogs is Back To Ancient Ways and she recently had her eighth child, and sixth son, Michael. She lives in the same area as us and they own a wonderful little health shop where we like to buy our health foods so I'll drop this pressie off at the health shop sometime this week.

Blue Saartjie Bootees and a garter stitch face cloth knit with 100% pure cotton yarn...


Another friend had a Baby girl about 2 months back so I knit her this butterfly face cloth from 100% pure cotton yarn. The butterfly design would be much more visiable with a plain color yarn but what-the-heck I just couldn't resist...

I just love the colours of this cotton - it's so girly and cute and I'm very tempted to go buy a few more skeins. I knit this face cloth for our Baby Girl (on the way) and am going to knit about two more so she'll always have beautifully soft pure cotton used on her delicate baby skin...


I intend on knitting and sewing all her bibs as well and what better to start with than this adorable 'bib o' love'. Knit with two different colourways of 100% cotton...




So after knitting face clothes for all the Babies I made one each for Andy and myself. Andy loves his face cloth and has already designated the spot where his sister's hook must be when her face cloth needs to be hung up.



My very first wool soaker knit with 100% pure wool. I got all my soaker patterns on ravelry.com and lots of advise from other moms on one of the ravelry forums. This is the Curly Purly Soaker and was really fun and easy to knit...

I finished up two more soakers from different patterns this morning and still need to take pics of it so I'll be putting those photo's up soon along with the sewing I've been doing.

Andy helps me with EVERYTHING I make cause he's just so excited about making things for his sister and asks tons of questions and makes little projects of his own as well which I'll have to pretend we're using when Baby comes cause he's so proud of them. He helps me knit a stitch now and then on whatever project I'm knitting on and when I sew he's always in charge of pressing the foot pedal which he does wonderfully because he understands when to stop or start on command. The other day he was sitting and twisting away at his yarn and clicking with his knitting needles declaring that he's "making a pair of mittens for the Baby so when she's born she can wear it and no ice will come on her hands." :)
