Recent Stuff...

Here are some of the things I've been working on lately. I am still a newbie to this but here we go:

A friend of my showed me this pattern and I just had to try it! So cute and simple! I just used some inexpensive cotton yarn from my stash and away I went. Now I just have to find a little girl that it will fit!

I made this for my dear friend Ginna who is having her first baby in a couple months and I'm over the moon excited for them! There is something so adorable about a baby in a sleep sack. I think I would be tempted to knit myself a adult sized one if it wouldn't take me forever! This was also my first attempt with cables of any kind and it was surprisingly simple! I was so proud of myself when I finished it! I still need to block it but I've decided to work on a little hat to match. I love baby stuff! I definitely need to give props to http://comfortwool.blogspot.com/, I really love most of the stuff on there and I'm sure there will be more knitting ideas coming from that blog!

I also knitted a matching hat! I'm very excited about this since it's my first hat ever! For some reason I had this preconceived notion that hats were so hard to do and I'm pleased that this hat mystique is completely behind me now! Look out...I see hats for my families' future Christmas presents!

I've been only knitting for a short period of time. My mother-in-law and my grandmother-in-law have been instrumental in teaching and guiding me in this adventure. I owe them for introducing me to a world that I never even thought I could be apart of. Family is an amazing blessing sometimes!
