Two hour scarf

2011-10-30T23:46:00.002-04:00

I made this two hour scarf for Johns' mother, whose birthday we forgot. I made it out of Simply Soft Chunky black and read and used a size M hook. It only took me 2 hours and I also plan on making a Hooded Scarf for her which I am currenlty working and will showcase it when I am done. Here are the pictures of the scarf.

Gator Pride Blankie

2011-09-26T22:16:00.001-04:00

This was made upon the request of a friend to gift to someone else… I had a difficulty finding a way to get the colors to meld well into the kind of blanket I’m used to making. Enter this.

2011-01-05T11:01:00.005-05:00

Our lovely friend had a precious baby girl earlier this month. Her room had a jungle theme and her colors were mint green and chocolate brown, I had lots of fun with this pattern:

This is a varation of a Caron Yarns pattern. You can see the original here

2010-10-09T23:54:00.003-04:00

As I sit in recovery for surgery my co worker Sandy, has asked me to make a few scarves for her grandchildren, here is the first one.

My Very Long Scarf

2010-08-31T22:29:00.002-04:00

So, I bought myself and Cheyenne a knitting loom, thinking it would be easier for Cheyenne to make scarfs and blankets like she has been wanting to do watching me. I have tried it out and it's really easy to use, I have made myself a scarf and here it is.

Elephant Rattle for Baby Malachi

2010-08-07T21:33:00.004-04:00

I wanted to make a rattle for a friend and I have done the one that is in the shape of an octopus, however, my friends nursery is jungle themed so I gave this cute little elephant a rattle effect. I am making 3 more for girls, in pink, so pink elephants will be posted as well. Here is the cute blue elephant for Baby Malachi.

Here is the pink one I have made for my Physical Therapist, whose wife is preggers and expecting anytime.

The Twins' Blankets!

2010-08-07T12:26:00.003-04:00

Babies Zachary and Kyle were born earlier this week and so I'd like to debut their blankets, they are mirror images of each other. I love how such a simple pattern can be repeated without making the blanket too busy:

~The Knit Wit Boobie

The GAU Blanket

2010-06-01T09:56:00.005-04:00

This is a round blanket using a free pattern from Lion Brand. I changed the joining to be a simple slip stitch all the way around and changed the color scheme to match the choices made by the recipient. This was made using Caron Simply Soft and after watching the V stitch that's used throughout the piece makes a very soft fabric with this yarn.

A Lost Work in Progress

2010-04-23T17:51:00.000-04:00

Going through my phone to get shots of the last two finished projects, I came across this:

A pretty granny square in pink and green I was making for Celeste before putting it down to take on other projects. I have no clue what pattern I was using but sure hope I can find it again in my stitch books, I've fallen back in love with it!

Baby Mark's Blanket

2010-04-21T17:43:00.000-04:00

Celeste's Needle Point

As requested, the beautiful needle point Booger sent for Celeste.

Mami's Blanket

2010-01-19T13:08:00.002-05:00

It's been forever since any of us have posted anything, and I personally apologize for my absence, work and the family life has definitely taken time away from me in doing anything crafty. A little update, Ms. Linda's blanket, is finally done, however, I forgot to get a picture of it, will get one soon. Also, Celeste's cross stitch project was finished as well, have to look for a picture of it, if I don't have one, BOOBIE CAN YOU GET A PIC OF IT FOR ME??? Now this is my latest project and I am hoping to finish it by mom's birthday, March 4th, we'll see. Here are some pics.

Cheyenne's Poncho...

2009-03-11T22:30:00.002-04:00

So Cheyenne has been bugging me to make her something, so I took a stab at making a poncho. I took her to the yarn store and had her pick out two colors, of course, they had to be hot pink and bright purple. I picked out a pattern and VOILA a poncho was born. Here she is modeling it for you out there looking at our blog.

Boobie's Baby Shower

2009-03-11T22:20:00.005-04:00

So these pictures have nothing to do with knitting or crocheting, I wanted to show off The Knit Wit Boobie and her beautiful belly and the baby shower that we (Simone and I) threw for her. So here are some pictures for you all to enjoy.

The Knit Wit,

Booger.

Mango and Boobie being lovey dovey on the couch.

Isn't she gorgeous?!

I love the maternity look, she looks fabulous!

Boobie and I saying cheese!

You gotta love kisses from a Booger and a Monie.

What a sexy pair Mango and Booger make.

Rubber duckies all the way.

Baby P's First Pink Blanket

2009-01-12T09:26:00.001-05:00

Since finding out I'm expecting a girl, I was excited to be able to make a blanket in either the traditional pink or blue. Here is what I started in a pink sport weight yarn:

Crystal's Crazy Rainbow Scarf

2008-12-18T14:58:00.001-05:00

Two of the girls I work with have requested hand made scarves for Christmas and so that's exactly what they're getting.

Crystal is a lovely young lady with a whimsical flair to her fashion sense. Earlier this year I made a black beret for her and thought I'd make a matching scarf, but when I started it in black it was way too bland for this vivacious young woman. Instead, I did what you see here with two tiny black strips capping the ends.

What do you think?

Linda's Christmas Afghan.

2008-11-05T15:17:00.001-05:00

Linda is John's mother. I am making her a Fall colored Ripple Afghan. I just hope that I can finish it by Christmas and get started on moms Afghan as well. Here is the start of Linda's Afghan.

It's my Hippy Hippy Shake Belt! (you know the song, hippy hippy... nevermind)

2008-10-27T15:27:00.005-04:00

Hee Hee, I hate it when I try to be funny and it comes out lame! Anyhoo, here is a belt that I made for my over the average sized hips, I love it, I made a bit to big so I have to adjust it a bit smaller (never thought I'd say that about something going around my hips). So I have work quite a few times and have been complimented so I know I did a good job. Here is a set of pics, in which Cheyenne is helping me model in one of them.

The Knit Wit,

Booger.

Mr. Turkey!

2008-10-27T14:58:00.003-04:00

I wanted a companion to join me for Thanksgiving so I made him, check him out, his name is Thomas, say hello Thomas. I hope you like him!

Its That Time of Year

2008-10-24T13:39:00.001-04:00

Its that time of year in which we all start to think about what others might enjoy as holiday gifts. Accordingly, it just so happens at the moment that every project I'm currently working on or have in the planning stages are gifts for the holidays!

Forgive my silence for a short time while I prioritize these projects and I PROMISE to do at least one block a week extra to showcase on the blog.

Baby Shower Favor Bag

2008-10-09T10:28:00.001-04:00

Monie is throwing a good friend a baby shower and wants to give the favors out in mini lantern bags. Using a full size pattern yesterday I was able to come up with this... what do you think? Oh, and please excuse my messy desk! In my defense, however, you can see most of it is crafting stuff, different yarns and crochet hooks and if you look in the far top right corner, the baby sock roses I made for Monie's hosted baby shower and to the left of the favor bag the florist tape involved in the process (not to mention CDs, a napkin and mailing labels - whew!).

Now, assuming this is truly what Miss Monie had in mind, I'll recreate it and actually write out the pattern and share it with you here :)

Traveling Scarf Panel

2008-10-07T15:04:00.001-04:00

The two knit wits and their guest poster are making a traveling scarf! Here is my first panel for this project. I've finished two so far and sent them on but I want the second to be a bit of a secret so I won't post it here :)

Oh, and don't mind the blue bow, its just to mark this as the 'right side' for the next person in the chain!

Trick or Treat!!!!

2008-10-01T09:29:00.002-04:00

It's my candy corn bag. So last year for Halloween I made pumpkin trick or treat bags for the girls, this year I have decided candy corn is the way to go. So I found this pattern on Lion Brand for them, however, it calls for felting the bag, and since I have never felted I left it just the way it is. I had to add on a few rounds to the bag, when I made it at first it was tiny, I think maybe 3 lollipops would fit in it. So me being the skillfull crocheter that I am (NOT!) I added the rounds and now it's a little longer than a food tall, just right to fit all the candy in the world. Well maybe not the world, but hey I am Cuban I am allowed to exaggerate. Well without further adooooooooooo, here it is.

The Knit Wit,

Booger

Candy Corn Pillow

2008-09-29T10:11:00.002-04:00

So I was trying to make a candy corn Halloween trick or treat bag, but the pattern I have for some reason made it a bit small, as you can see, so I have turned this bag into a little pillow and gave it to my neighbor Brian. I fiddled around with the pattern that I got from Lion Brand and have made it bigger and now working on the first of five bags that I am making, of course, when I am done I will post it. Here is the pillow for now.

The Knit Wit,

Booger.

It's my first ever fingerless gloves.

2008-09-26T09:41:00.004-04:00

So I saw this stitch (star stitch) and I fell in LOVE and I have always wanted a pair of fingerless mitss (why I don't know, I probably will never use them) so I made them with this awesomely beautiful stitch. They came out a bit small, so I am most likely gonna give them away or just keep them, since we all know how attached we are to our first attempts at new projects. I am gonna make myself a new pair when I am done with my next project.

Now for my next project, I am making candy corn bags for the wonderful kids in my life, last year they got pumpkins, this year it's candy corn. I am also working on the travelling scarf between Boobie, Monie and I. I am sure one of us will keep you updated on it. Til then I leave you with the pics of my mitts.

Love ya,

The Knit Wit Booger.

Bed Time Bear.

2008-09-24T09:55:00.006-04:00

So I have been promising Keila her Care Bear for I don't know how long and it's finally done. I had a bit of problems with the nose, it kept coming out wayyyy to big so I redid it about a million times, I got it as small as I could and it still came out pretty kick ass. Well as usual here some pics of Bed Time Bear.

Booger.

Open Crochet Panel

2008-09-16T09:25:00.001-04:00

Having failed miserably in my lace knitting, I decided I still wanted to do a panel with an open feeling and so I did this in crochet from a "lace" pattern. Again, this is better suited for a finer weight yarn but I actually kind of like the bulkiness of the worsted this time!

-The Knit Wit Boobie

Lozenge "Lace" Knit Panel

2008-09-15T09:00:00.001-04:00

This panel is no where near as pretty as the picture of the pattern I followed in my book. Reading more carefully, I noticed that these patterns are better when using a smaller weight yarn (rather than the plain old worsted that I used).

Here it is any way!

-The Knit Wit Boobie

Monie's Crocheted Cap

2008-09-12T13:31:00.001-04:00

Monie's last guest post for the moment is this crocheted cap.

Monie says, "This is crocheted and there is actually plastic canvas in the brim to hold the shape. I'm an intermediate crocheter and this is an intermediate pattern, yet I still managed to mess it up! I would stress pre-planning as goes to this hat. I had the pieces structured to pattern, but construction was more difficult than expected. It should have been a one afternoon project and it took me nearly a day."

Topside:

Underside:

We can tell this one was a challenge for her, she had more to say about it than any of the others!

- The Knit Wit Boobie for Monie

Monie's Modified Wavy Baby Blanket

2008-09-10T09:10:00.001-04:00

Another pretty work in progress from our guest poster Monie.

This piece is one of the first times Monie's been able to follow a pattern but she did more than that, she changed it up in her own way so that it would be squared off!

Monie comments on this "I truncated the pattern to create a squared look but I've run out of white yarn so this one's on hold for the moment."

I think its adorable!

September 12, 2008 is Internation Crochet Day!!!

2008-09-09T19:55:00.002-04:00

The title’s pretty much self-explanatory, isn’t it? :) September 12 is International Crochet Day, a day when crocheters everywhere are urged to do something crochet-related in public. You know, so we can hook others into it.

Some suggestions that have come up are:

Crochet in public
Teach someone to crochet
promote International Crochet Day in your blog
Wear something crocheted - and make sure everybody knows it!
Stand up on your crochet soapbox, hold your hook high and proudly declare that you are a hooker.

We gotta do something. Who's with me???

The Knit Wit,

Booger.

Monie's Bubbles

2008-09-09T08:40:00.001-04:00

Here's a nice completed baby blanket Monie did. This was done in squares that she then joined together and then put a lovely ruffle border around.

Monie remarks that this was "very simple and kind of boring towards the end." Hmmm... where have I heard that before!?

- The Knit Wit Boobie for Monie

Crochet with plastic bags

2008-09-08T12:43:00.001-04:00

What a lovely green idea! Use old plastic shopping bags to make a new reusable durable bag!

Check it out here!

Guest Posts

2008-09-08T08:42:00.001-04:00

In July our friend Monie visited and we spent way too much time with yarn. This resulted in a resurgence of interest in crochet and a new interest in knitting (she hadn't know how before).

Monie has graciously agreed to allow me to showcase some of her recent work here as she's become quite prolific in the past two months!

First, here's a knit project proving that I really was successful in passing on enough of the basics to get her started (in the round no less!):

Regarding this project Miss Monie says "Making round things is fun!" She also goes on to mention that this isn't exactly the best train/bus travel project and thinks next time she'll use circular needles instead of worrying about poking passengers' eyes out!

- The Knit Wit Boobie, for Monie :)

"The Last Knit"

2008-09-05T09:22:00.001-04:00

How many of us can relate to this? Notice at the very end how she just transfers her obsession to the scissors (like so many of us do from crochet to knitting or vice versa!)

John Paul's Head Band.

2008-09-04T10:41:00.002-04:00

My friend's son, John Paul, has asked me to make him a head band in red and black. So I got this yarn from his mother, who had it already to make for him. John Paul said she was taking too long to make it for him so I went ahead and stepped up to plate and made it for him. Here he is showing it off for you blog readers out there.

Baby Diego's Blanket

2008-09-03T10:57:00.001-04:00

This blanket took me FOREVER and I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that its finally finished!

Here's a more detailed close up:

Patterns for Traveling Scarf

2008-09-02T19:15:00.003-04:00

So with my knitting/crochet group we are making a traveling scarf where we each make a square part of the scarf and then we pass it to the next person as we obtain a new square and just add to that. So these are two squares I have done, I have decided to use the slant one, although, I have to fix it. I need to make a bit loser to make it 5" X 4" long. Tell me what ya'll think.

The Knit Wit,

Booger.

This is my own personal made up pattern (well I am sure someone has it out there, but I did think of it on my own and put it to good use.)

Fatty Patty's Sweater.

2008-08-30T12:44:00.002-04:00

Ok so mom has been bugging me to make the dogs a sweater so this was my first attempt hope you like it. I used a peach yarn and just did the pattern and sizing as I went I had to grab the poor dog a million times just to do the measurements correctly. Here is the outcome.

The Knit Wit,

Booger.

Afghan or Bust.

2008-08-30T12:41:00.002-04:00

So I have been making this Afghan for a while now and I have finally dusted it off and finished it. It's very simple with no fringes or border. It's just the regular knitting pattern. I wanted something for me and loved these colors together. Hope you like it.

The Knit Wit,

Booger.

Finally!!!!

2008-08-21T22:14:00.003-04:00

Finally I have finished Mel's scarf. Here are a few pics. I am so proud of it, I made the pattern up myself and I did fringes for the first time.

Tunisian Crochet

2008-08-20T08:57:00.001-04:00

Monie taught me how to do a tunisian crochet when she was down here and so I've had fun making quick little swatches with different techniques.

This one is called Ploughs and Cables.

It's an Octopus!!!

2008-08-07T18:02:00.005-04:00

You see I have not left you all, I have just been busy with life. I just recently made this octopus for my newest neice, Andrea, and it took a whole of 2 days to make. It looks soooo darn cute, I am very proud of it.

Things have been busy with me and work. Currently trying to find another one, I am tired of slinging pizzas around. I have also been busy with my mother, she became a bit sick and with a lot of the worrying and testing I have not been busy with my needle work. Things are well now and the scare is off but still keeping a watchful eye on her. I will keep you guys updated.

Sooooo, next I am working on my embroider stuff and see how that goes.

Here is the pic of the octopus......

Love ya'll,
The Knit Wit Booger.

Stuck on a Stitch??

2008-06-02T10:49:00.001-04:00

Often times, when trying to decipher a pattern, I'll find myself stuck on a stitch I'm unfamiliar with or terminology I don't know.

When I encounter this problem, I turn to my trusty friend, about.com.

Try both knitting.about.com and crochet.about.com to find answers when you need them, not only do they often have wonderful free patterns and projects, but their search function is top notch and I always find a tutorial on what I'm looking for on the first try.

Hope it helps you all!

Amigurumi

2008-05-19T11:25:00.001-04:00

I've become quite taken with Amigurumi as I come across it often in my online pattern searches and random research. I am really trying to finish up a baby blanket for a Amy's friend before trying anything else but I'm really thinking it will be something from this talented crafter's site!

Does anyone out there have any experience with these kinds of things? Booger's Care Bears come really close!!!

Two Great Needlecraft Books

2008-05-19T11:02:00.001-04:00

I really love this book. I've been using it a lot to pick up new stitches for the projects I've been working on. Geri's Ridged Chevron Scarf came from a stitch in this book!

The hubby got this book for me for Christmas. The Bubbles Blanket came from a square in this book I liked...

Any one else know of any good books out there?

Whats New PussyCat?

2008-03-06T10:12:00.003-05:00

Not much... no real big projects in the works right now, just this basket weave stitch baby blanket I've been working on for over a year... in the last week I've gotten about three more inches in length on it though!

I promise I am still around...........

2008-02-28T22:33:00.002-05:00

I am so sorry for all of you out there I have not been a good girl and blogged very much, I have not made anything new, the new full time job at PJ's has got me busy busy busy. But I am working on Keila's Care Bear and hopefully should be done with it soon. I love you all and thanks for reading up on our blog.

Hey Sarah I LOVE YOU!!! and I love the new stuff I want that scarf pattern you made for G. REMY looks SO CUTE!!!!!

Remy's Scarf

2008-02-11T08:49:00.000-05:00

I've got lots of yarn hanging around, so I made Remy, our neighbor's great dane a scarf out of some of it and they were kind enough to get her to model it for us!

There are actually two scarves there, one knit and one crocheted :).

Ridged Chevron Stitch

2008-01-24T16:15:00.001-05:00

From my current favorite book "The Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting and Crochet Stitches," I've fallen in love with the Ridged Chevron Stitch. Softer than the standard chevron and oh so easy, I love the way it flows in the Caron Simply Soft yarns. Here I've used a very pale blue to make a scarf for a special friend who's moving to colder climes.

Yarn Storage

2008-01-24T16:11:00.000-05:00

Thanks, Simone, for this wonderful yarn storage idea.

I went out and got an over-the-door plastic shoe rack (cheap, $13 at Wal-Mart) and five minutes later, 24 skeins of yarn (actually 27 since I had some small skeins I put together in one pocket) are stored out of sight... the sad part? I still have A LOT of yarn not stored there in my yarn bag and basket...

A Note For The Wonderful Jackie

2008-01-18T21:48:00.000-05:00

So, I hear you've been reading... I need to know... What colours are you living room? You're the only family not to get a throw since I didn't know :)

Love you!

I'm a terrible blogger!

2008-01-14T20:58:00.000-05:00

Remember all those blankets I've been telling you about? Well in the holiday rush, I really did make five large throws for family and friends, but had to get them washed and wrapped and didn't even take a picture of them for all of you!! I'm sorry.

The same can be said for "Patches," the blanket for Baby Brown (who made his debut on the 10th of this month), I had to wash it and ship it out before I got a picture of it... I'm sorry again.

However... I didn't neglect to take a picture of "Bubbles," the blanket completed this weekend for Baby Gomez. Without further ado, here is a picture of "Bubbles."

I hope you like "Bubbles!"

One of my blankets has made it's debut.

2007-12-18T09:13:00.000-05:00

Well it's one of the baby blankets that I have made making it's way into the world. Kimberly was nice enough to take a picture of Carly (not sure if I spelled that right) in the blanket. Isn't she precious, oh and the blanket is such a beauty *giggle*.

Melissa's (my stoopid seester) scarf...

2007-12-17T22:54:00.000-05:00

My sister knows how to crochet, however, she sucks at it. Soooo, she has asked me to make a scarf for her. I have made up this pattern very simple and very pretty, it looks like textured stripes. Any ways here is a pic of the scarf. To all of you readers, if we have any, let me know what you think.

It's Funshine Bear!!!

2007-12-17T22:36:00.000-05:00

Ok ya'll sorry it took me so long to post new pics up, but I have been one busy little bugger. I have made a Funshine Care Bear for one of my neices, and only 3 more to go. Goodness it was hard, to do one, but now that I have done it, I know it's gonna go a lot easier and faster for the next ones. Good thing my nieces don't come to visit til' January, it gives me a bit more time. Well attached are pics of the Care Bear, now remember it's not perfect and my first one, but I think it came out pretty KICK ASS!!!!!!

I hope you guys like it, let me know what ya'll think.

Yes, we're still here

2007-12-07T10:59:00.001-05:00

I'm sure some of you are wondering what happened to us, well yes, we're still here.

As for me, I've had to put all my lovely little baby blankets on hold to make afghans for my Christmas presents this year. As of yesterday, I finished the last of the planned afghans and started to wash them before taking pictures and getting ready to wrap them. As soon as thats done I'll post the work here... there are five in total (right now, of course, masochist that I am I'm considering trying to squeeze in three or so more before the big Yule day hits).

Here's a question for all your yarn lovers out there... one of the afghans I made used an angora mix yarn... it sheds worse than a long haired dog in the summer, when I washed it I made it worse... any tips for me? Its for a woman who is incredibly careful with her home and I worry she won't want to use this since it leaves white angora everywhere its been!

As for The Knit Wit Booger, she's been working on Christmas presents too, and even I can't wait to see them, maybe if we ask her nicely she post pictures of the work in progress... ready, here we go... PLEASE BOOGIE!!!

The babies I had previously been working for will all be making their much anticipated appearances in January and February so I need to get cracking on those again and I promise pictures as they're completed.

Well, keep checking back to see when those blankets I made are posted, I hope to get to it this weekend (but the holiday crunch is fast upon us and I can't promise anything). In the mean time I wish all of you enjoy your winter celebrations!

Just Checking In

2007-10-16T09:00:00.000-04:00

Hey ya'll!

I promise I haven't forgotten about you, and I promise I have been knitting and crocheting... I just haven't completed any projects to show you!

Currently, I'm working on a blue "patches" blanket for Baby B, and I was working on a blue and white terry cloth blanket for Baby G but I've kind of lost interest. I gotta figure out what I'm making soon or else Baby G will come and I won't be prepared with my gifts!!

So, really, thats all... The Baby B blanket is almost done, I'll post a picture for you all as soon as it is.

Take care!

Baby Andrea's Pumpkin Bag...

2007-10-01T11:22:00.000-04:00

Well since Andrea was just born in January, oh Andrea is my niece in Texas by the way, I figured she wouldn't enjoy Halloween like all the other kids would, but my mother insisted that I make her a Halloween bag, so I did, and here it is, it is smaller but she won't eat a lot of candy and the other one that I made before is going to be for Chelsea her sister and my other niece, I hope they like them...

The Knit Wit Booger...

Happy Halloween, well sort of....

2007-09-27T09:44:00.000-04:00

Well I started it on Friday the 21st of September and finished it last night the 26th of September so it's not very hard to do, I did modify the pattern that I found a little bit to suit me, but very little, so here are pictures of the first one I have made, I am going to try and make 3 more before Halloween for my nieces around the nation and send it off to them.

As promised...

2007-09-19T21:46:00.000-04:00

Here is the hat I have made for KG and her baby girl. It's a basic pink hat with a ribbon running through the brim and a cute little flower right smack in the middle, it's a set that will go with the mitties and booties I made earlier. Next stop are gonna be some Halloween projects, wish me luck...

2007-09-17T09:48:00.000-04:00

So I made BOOTIES, I am so proud of myself, I have made a mitten and bootie set for Baby Carly. Now she needs a hat and she is set for the "coming out" party. Here are the pics of the set.

Baby Mittens for KG....

2007-09-14T09:11:00.000-04:00

So Boobie made some baby mittens and I decided to take a stab at it and look I did it, one came out bigger then the other but hell I did a kick ass job for having never done this before, next I am planning on making her a whole set, booties and a little baby hat. Here are the mittens.

Remember the Baby R Work?

2007-09-13T14:54:00.000-04:00

Well, here is Baby R nestled in the first blanket I made for him (before I knew the nursery colour scheme). I didn't get a picture of this blanket since I had wrapped it some time before the baby shower to protect it from cat and dog hair in my house.

He is so freaking cute...

Finally! My blanket...

2007-09-12T11:30:00.000-04:00

So I have no more blankets to make at the moment so I am gonna work on my own, it's a homespun yarn, purple and like a mustard yellow and I am knitting it speed stix style. Here it is so far just a first look preview, I will keep the pics updated as I work on it.

Yet another baby blanket....

2007-09-12T11:29:00.000-04:00

Now that I am becoming an expert speed knitter, (Yeah Right!) here is the second blanket that I made for a dear friend, Kimberly, who is giving birth to a baby girl. I wanted to make it extra girly so I added a ribbon and bow at the bottom of the blanket. I have no new babies to make blankets for so I might start working on my own, or just a few patterns I have laying around. I also wanted to pick up embroidery again so I might just get a starter kit on that and work on it a bit. Well here are pics of the newest blanket.

My First Baby Blanket......

2007-09-12T11:28:00.001-04:00

This is my first baby blanket, I started to crochet a blanket but noticed it would take to long so my best friend Boobie introduced me to speed knitting and Voila! I tried and made this beautiful baby blanket for a co worker and friend that just had her first baby and it's a boy. I am not as good as others when it comes to knitting but hey I am a beginner. Here are a few pics of the blanket.

The Baby L Blanket

2007-09-12T11:27:00.000-04:00

A friend and his wife are expecting their second child. They have decided that, as they did with their first, (a BEAUTIFUL daughter) they would prefer not to learn the sex of the baby and have a lovely surprise come delivery time.

As soon as I heard the good news (since we had been sharing comfort to each other as we both tried) I started looking for patterns for the baby blanket I wanted to make for them.

I found this one , its not that hard and with a few modifications I made, I finished it a week or so ago. Since I had yarn left over, I started trying my hand at baby mitties... maybe booties next.

These pictures were taken with my cell phone so I know they're not the best quality, but you can still see the projects pretty clearly... Now I'm working on blue blankets for two different friends who are having boys and the second mittie for this :)

The blanket is worked in panels, here you see the first three panels joined together:

Here are more panels joined together as Mango holds it up for me. This is about three or so panels from completion:

My first attempt at a mittie, I think it looks really cute... of course its made to match the blanket :)

And finally, the two together...

There you have it... hope you liked them. I'll have to take more detailed pictures with the camera before I wrap this up to be presented to the parents :)

Craziness with a Hat

2007-09-12T11:22:00.000-04:00

I taught myself to crochet hats one weekend. Teeny tiny baby hats. Then I got punchy and put them on the pets... and us... and hilarity ensued...

Sorry for the quality, but these were taken on the cell phone:

So it looks like Izzy gets special treatment since her picture was taken with the real camera, but in reality she had just escaped my wrath for like a week!

Baby R Work

2007-09-12T11:16:00.000-04:00

Here are some pictures of projects I did for a baby shower of a friend of ours. Her nursery colours (obviously) were navy blue, yellow and white. The larger projects were blankets and the smaller are washcloths and burp rags.
