Lil' Pumpkins

I got my pumpkin hats done for fall! Bring on October!!! :)

For Baby Chloe

Hooray! I have something to post!!! Baby Chloe (daughter of a friend) was born just over a week ago, and I managed to knit up a pair of booties for her. I used a different pattern than I normally do, and I like how it turned out. It's a much quicker knit than may usual go-to pattern, so I know I'll use it again!




And since her mom has already publically posted pictures of her, I'm sure she won't mind if I show the darling face that is the recipient of this pair of booties.
Awwww, Baby Chloe!

Believe it or not I have a few other things on the needles right now. A half finished Wonderful Wallaby sweater (little size) and another pair of booties. One of the booties is done, so you get to see it now! :) Fall is coming people. I'm starting to feel the knitting "itch"!

Fuzzy!

Warm Hands and Feet

It's never to early to start getting ready for winter! Ok, that's not what I was really doing. I just have been so uninspired when it has come to knitting lately (as it seems the rest of you have, not naming names...ahem..kaylee, krisy, joanna) So, I found some projects I had already bought stuff for and decided to work on those, hoping that it would stir up something creative. I mean, I figured I'd better start feeling creative soon because I usually start planning out and buying supplies for Christmas presents in August!

First I made these socks from a generic sock pattern I had. I decided to just make the top ribbed so they stayed snug on my feetsies. I've actually been wearing these a bit, since the AC is on in all the time trying to keep the upper level of the house cool, the basement is freezing by evening!


Then, I decided to finally make myself a pair of fingerless gloves. The same gloves I made for everybody (well the girls anyway) for Christmas last year. They knit up really fast and only take me a couple evenings to finish. I think I am going to love them this winter!!!


And my plan worked. I started getting ideas for things I wanted to make. So, today I stopped by the yarn store and picked this up! All cottons. It's too hot for me to starting having wool sitting in my lap. Wooo Hooo!!! Happy Knitting!
