All is warm

I have been having blogging withdrawal symptoms lately. Going from posting every day throughout October to about once a week in November has been a shock to the system; my head gets overloaded with things that would have been fun putting on my blog. The good news (to me anyway) is that there’s only a few weeks left of my assignment, and my life will get back to normal, or at least what counts as normal around here. I have been hoarding quilting and art supplies since August and cannot wait to get back to my studio.

Anyway; being too scared of getting sucked into my fabric stash, I don’t even touch it other than to put away whatever I add to it. I’m holding on to my knitting needles in the evenings though, and I have finished up quite a few knitting projects that will keep us all warm through the winter.

For grandchild-to-be:
The alpaca Baby surprise jacket,

the cotton jacket,

the wool blankets,

hats

and booties


For grandson:
The alpaca Tomten jacket. I keep forgetting taking pictures of him wearing it.

For daughter:
Wool belly warmers (pattern bought on Ravelry). When she asked if I could knit one for her, I was expecting to find gazillions of patterns and tutorials on the web, but I had to search high and low to find even one.
These are brilliant, and daughter is very happy with hers.

For me:
The wool leg warmers in super simple garter stitch

very stretchy and warm; my legs and ankles will thank me this winter.
I still have a few more projects on my list, like the alpaca baby hat that I had to frog as it came out too big. Oh well, as soon as my arms have gotten a much needed rest, I’ll be ready to have another go at it.


Have a wonderful week!

  1. I am in awe of all your knitting! The little sweaters and hats are wonderful. Never heard of a belly warmer before but such a clever idea. Love the leg warmers. My legs and ankles are always cold during the winter.

  8. Wow, you're a one woman knitting machine. LOVE the belly warmers, what a great idea (from a mom who gave birth the first week of January in Canada, twice!). The baby sweaters are so adorable.

  10. Such beautiful knitting - those are such treasures for your family members. My MIL used to knit and my husband has a couple of sweaters that she made for him. They are treasured these days now that she is not able to knit.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Regards,
    Anna
