Knitting Up a Storm

Knitting Up a Storm - Iced

I finished another Christmas present this weekend...actually put the buttons on today! This will be a super cozy and warm sweater. Of course, now that it's done, I can't wear it, because today it was almost 70 degrees! Oh, that's right...it is a present for someone else...I almost forgot. I guess one of these days, I'll have to make myself one.

I should block it...but not sure that it's needed...I'll wait until it's tried on before I decide...that way I can make the fit exact.

Onto the next project.....I am really going to for the 100% handmade gifting again this year, but as usual....I'm behind.

Oh, if you're interested in the pattern, you can find the details HERE, which will give you a link to the F-R-E-E pattern on Knitty.com (I love Knitty....great patterns, all free).

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters. It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right? Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go. This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it. This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog since I used her buttons. (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie. It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments. I think it finished it off nice

Precious Boy

A quiet, misty morning walk in late March 2012. This little precious boy puts a smile on my face every time I look at him. I mean, really, who wouldn't smile like there's no tomorrow at this little guy? I love him. Every. Little. Thing. He almost (ALMOST) competes with my husband. My sweet husband with a similar expression. What do YOU think?

Pour Vous

I finally took the opportunity to put together a couple little gifts this afternoon while my husband was once again slaving for the man on a Saturday afternoon. This is a little bag that holds a necklace I made for my daughter. For once I can honestly say that this was NOT difficult to create. Here's a close-up. Next up is the photo of the address label. I just LOVE decorating the OUTSIDE too. It just makes opening up the surprise package all that more exciting.
