Monday Making

I FINALLY finished this baby sweater.

(surprise baby jacket by E. Zimmerman)

Whew!!!

So many NEW twists and turns for me.

:)

I'm sure it would be easy for a seasoned knitter.

That's. not. me.

The seams are sewn.

The buttons are ON!!

And...

the COLD weather is here!!!

What are YOU making this week??

I really hope I can spend time in my sewing room!

The scrap basket is calling my name!!

baby sweater

I finished a sweater today!

Woo hoo!

I DO believe I have a slight baby sweater addiction.
I've been making them....

and....

I've even given a few away!!!

LOL!

This pattern is on ravelry.

Garter Stitch Baby Jacket

by Nancy elizabeth designs.

I added ribbed stitches to the bottom 

and the sleeves.

Friday Finish

It's a small finish....

and a photo shoot!!!

First she liked it...

She may even LOVE it!!......

Then she wasn't so SURE!!!

Happy Friday Friends!

Sweet Sweater

I've finished a SWEET sweet SWEATER.

Super tiny.

Super CUTE!

 

The beautiful yarn was purchased 1/2 price

at a fancy yarn shop.

(yarn is classic elite, liberty wool)

There was only ONE ball, of course.

But I bought it ANYWAY!

 

I added some PINK from my stash to the sleeves

and some more to the bottom.

I LOVE the way this project turned out.

NOW....

to figure out how to do some kind of closure on this thing.

 

The pattern is called

5 hour sweater.

HAH!!

 

It took me that long to READ/FIGURE out the knitting LINGO!

Knitting patterns are written in

a language I haven't MASTERED yet!

;)

And...

there's so much COUNTING!

That slows me down sometimes.

LOL!

Hope you're enjoying your summer!

 

I am.

The Barbecue is BUSY at my house

and we eat OUTSIDE every eve.

 

Zucchini, hamburgers

and Eggplant burgers for the adults!

YUM!

Soft and Warm and Done

Admire...please.

That's ALL we can do right now.

There are no grandbabies the right size for this....

My VERY first REAL knitting project.

 

Help me admire.

Then...

I'll put it in a SAFE place and WAIT.

 

There will be a baby someday.

A baby that fits this sweater perfectly.

It doesn't have to be today.

 

NO...

I really don't mind  holding on to this one just a BIT longer.

;)

 

*************

Note:

This sweater would not be complete if I didn't have knitting friends.

EXPERT knitters.

Thankfully they came on a retreat with me last weekend.

Thankfully they let me PESTER them all weekend

as I finished up this sweater.

Yes....I pestered them 24/7.

;/

Thankfully....they haven't told me to STOP asking questions!!!

 

When they do..
I might have to use Youtube for instructions!!!

I will if I HAVE TO.

 

Thankful for my friends today.
