Finished Object: Valentine Socks for Beans

When ordering yarn for my friends baby blanket I tossed in a couple balls of Sweetheart Felici and Stroll Glimmer to bump me up to free shipping.. it was a win win

I immediately cast on a pair of baby socks for Beans, my hockey buddy.

I got them finished last Sunday and we slapped them on her feet over her onsie before the game.

Seriously... it doesn't get cuter than baby socks on a baby.

Beans is almost eight months old now and I can't believe how fast the time has gone! I try to take a picture of us at every Silvertips game and looking back you can see her personality grow every time.

She has the biggest eyes I've seen on a baby and she's simply adorable.

Pattern is the So Much Yarn basic fingering weight baby sock by Lauren Lindeman. You'll have to call the shop for the pattern.

Yarn is Felici self striping in Sweetheart

The toe is Stroll Glimmer in Runway and it has a bit of sparkle in it.

both yarns are from knitpicks

I used a size 2 needle.

I'm going to make a pair for LOL as well

possibly myself.

better order some more yarn.

she kept pulling on my cowl and I told her if she choked me I couldn't knit for her anymore... she pulled harder.
little rebel :)

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
