I finally finished this Wallaby. It was suppose to be for me, but I didn't check the gauge and I know I should have, it turned out too big, so I will give it to my daughter for her 25th Birthday in 2 weeks. She has been asking for one for awhile, so I hope she likes it.

Well I got one sleeve done and part of the other one before running out of yarn. I'll make a trip to the yarn store tomorrow and hopefully have this Wallaby finished over the weekend. I just love the way the stripes turned out, and amazingly the same on both of them, I was worried about that.

Surprize Stripe Wallaby

It seems like all I have been knitting lately is Shawls, so I needed a change of pace and decided to knit myself a new Wallaby. I just love this pattern. I am using Hobby Lobby's "I love this Yarn" #804 Surprize Stripe. It is knitting up great and I love the way the stripes are showing up. I finished the body of the sweater in just one day and hope to have the sleeves ready to attach tonight. Now if it will just get cooler so I can actually wear it.

Lacy Waves Poncho

I just finished knitting this poncho for my soon to be Daughter-n-Law's birthday that is coming up in October. She is a very special & loving young lady and she makes my son very happy, so I wanted to make her something special. It was knit with Hobby Lobby brand yarn, in Peacock.

The Wonderful Wallaby

Several years ago I fell in love with a pattern called The Wallaby. The Wonderful Wallaby is a pattern booklet put out by Cottage Creations. I have had mine for a few years now. Children sizes go from 2 - 12, Adult sizes from petite - super size. All sizes have cute little names, Wanda, Willie, Wilhemina, just for a few. You can leave off the pocket & hood if you wish. You will fall in love with it.

Happy 75th Mom

My Mom turned 75 years young on August 11, 2009. She is a wonderful lady. She is retired and keeps both of my grandbabies, her great-grandbabies for my daughter to work. She wouldn't have it any other way.

SHAWLS

This is what I have been working on this past week while my computer was in the shop. I managed to get 3.5 shawls knitted. I love this pattern, and I have fallen in love with the Hobby Lobby store brand of yarn. It is wonderful. Very easy to knit with and so soft.
