Red Baby Booties

I still need to get to the yarn store to start on a new bigger project, so I've been searching through my scraps to see if I have enough to put something together. Because you just can't sit and watch tv or a movie and not be knitting too, that would be like wasting time or something... :)

I managed to find enough of this red yarn to make up a pair of baby booties. Anybody know of any little baby feet that will need to be warm soon??? :)




(I made these from Zoe Mullor's book Nursery Knits, size 2 needles, with Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. They only took 3 evenings to do, I love baby booties!!)

New and Old Things

I've finished up 3 different projects this week, so I'm just gonna put them all in one post!

Most importantly, I have finished up something for Krisy's #4 baby! For her #3 kid, I made her a moon and stars blanket.



So, instead of adding another blanket to her stash, I decided to make something to warm up the little tykes head. I love this hat, I think it looks like a present. :) Now all I have to do is get it in the mail.... :)



The second thing I finished was another swing set for Willow. I made one for her last summer and I liked it so much, I found some yarn in my stash and knit up another one just one size bigger. I love the ladybug buttons too!







And finally, the last thing I finished up required no knitting. I had finished this sweater like 2 years ago and all it was waiting on was for me to sew on the last 2 buttons. Somehow, I just never got around to it. Finishing work is not my strong suit. :) But, since I'm sending Kaylee a box full of baby stuff that we forgot to give to her when she was here last, I thought I could finish up this sweater and send it to her too!
