Fingerless Gloves For Grandpa Wall

Here my Grandpa is wearing the gloves as he smiles for the picture with my Aunt Char.

I started these last evening, finished up late this morning and gave them to him this afternoon!












For a closer view, I am modeling the fingerless gloves I made for my Grandpa! Tris took the picture for me!

Project Dillingham Completed and Delivered!

I gave this to Tanya at her baby shower last Sunday. Her expression was PRICELESS! Apparently she didn't know that I can knit! She was blown away! I loved her reaction! She said, "You're kidding me", like I just handed her the most amazing thing and couldn't believe it!...mouth agape and everything. :D

Congratulations Tanya and Ken!



Pattern info: Reversible Teddy Bear Blanket Pattern
I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in the Sage color.

The hat pattern source is March 2007 issue of Creative Knitting!

for Baby Dillingham

I'm almost finished with this one. I have one more row of Teddy Bears to add and the baby blanket will be done! This is going to be for my cousin Tanya's baby. She's due in February and doesn't want to know the gender, so I went with the ever neutral green! :D

She'll get this on Jan. 13th at her baby shower. I'm going to knit an infants hat too to make it a match set, though I don't think I can get a Teddy Bear to fit on a hat that small. I'll have to think on that one!

Anyways, Congratulations Dillingham's!

Xmas is over....whew.

For Christmas this year, I have made the ladies of my immediate family, tote bags. :D


Here I am knitting Becky's (my Mom-I-L) Light Pink & Black Tote bag. I don't have a picture of the finished product yet, but she loved it! She was blown away when she found out that I knitted it, then felt it! She said I am awesome and she is very impressed!





This is Jennifer's (Sis-I-L) Orange & Black bag before felting.








This Is Jennifer's bag after felting!







This is Holly's (Sis-I-L) dark pink & black bag before felting. Some how I didn't get an after picture of this on either. I will have to have the girls send me photos of their bags so I can post the after pictures. :D

I also knit this yellow and black bag for my mother; one of her favorite colors is yellow!

I wonder what I will make them for next Christmas......hmmm......

The pattern for this project is available for purchase from this site:

A Gift or two for Lisa's Birthday

These dishcloths were made for my friend Lisa . She's a Disney fanatic. A little Disney had to come to here for her birthday. :D She also received a hotair balloon dishcloth. I'll have to dig up the picture of it. The pattern is here: Hot Air Balloon Pattern

For the Mice I created a chart using knitpro and graphics I had found online. :D

Harry Potter Hats, sort of

While I was making eight Harry Potter House hats for the local library's Harry Potter book release party give away, my kids wanted to keep playing with them. So, after the first three, I had to knit them each a hat of their own. I added some I-cords to the tops for flair. They just loved their hats and wore them at every opportunity....in the middle of June. Goofy Kids!

I used this pattern: http://media.wiley.com/product_ancillary/14/04700673/DOWNLOAD/0470067314.pdf

I made 4 of the narrow stripe hats and 4 of the wide stripe hats. One wide and one narrow in each house's color. So, each house had two hats. :D Unfortuneatley, I didn't get any pictures of the hats I made for the give-a-way.

Project finished (2 hats for my kids): June 2007

Project finished (8 Harry Potter House Hats): July 2007
