baby socks.
A quick 40-minute knit from Joelle Hoverson’s More Last Minute Knitted Gifts. These baby socks were knit up using a bit of Tanis Fiber Arts Green Label Aran Weight in the chris gray color way I had laying left over in my stash from another baby project. It’s so gorgeous and soft–buttery almost–that it makes…

topaz (detail).
Working the Topaz on the porch this morning, in between sips of coffee and chapters of Robert Bloch’s Psycho.

Bear-ly able to work any more baby knits…
As previously mentioned here, oh here, and here, I have “birthed” a lot of baby knits this year, as my work is a factory…one goes out, another gets upsprouted. This mean a lot of knitting on my part because I adore doing it, and welp, its fun to create not only sweaters and blankets and…

Birthing a ton of knits this year…
This year–and into next!– was a baby factory in my work. Loads of teachers were having ’em, and I was knitting for ’em.

Baby blabber…enough already!

Meow…a gift-wrapped kitty cat?
I mentioned my future sister-in-law’s own sister had a baby shower this past weekend. She’s meant to be welcoming her first girl, to which I knitted up the Presto Chango Sweater in a soft, pale yellow cotton-wool blend along with some adorable mary jane booties in a similar color which had flecks of pink, orange,…

Presto…Chango? Nope, Presto Almost Finished-O!
Saturday mornings, especially in winter, are the best times to lay around and knit. There isn’t enough white space here in which I can drool all over the laying about the couch in slippers, a full coffee mug, an incredible night’s sleep under the belt, and a knitting project on the sticks. That being said,…

Leather and lace? Nope, it’s not for Stevie Nicks…try Baby Alpaca and Lace.
I am making serious progress on the Presto Chango Baby Sweater by Valerie Wallis, who runs the Shoeless Val blog. The sweater is absolutely adorable and practical because while I have no first hand experience in this, my Mum has told me its never fun to fuss with trying to get a baby into an…
