Scarf & Beret


I was asked to make these for a young lady that my daughter works with.  And of course I was glad to make them.   This is the first time I've made a hat like this, and I am really hoping that Sandra likes it. I love creating & sharing.

Pinwheel Blankie

I finally tried this Pinwheel baby blanket and just love how it turned out.  It is tricky to get started, but once you get past the first few rounds it goes very quickly.

Pinwheel Blankie for Lil Man


Needed something to do when I get bored knitting on the Pall, so I'm trying my had at knitting this Pinwheel Blanket for my newest lil man.  You can get the pattern free on Ravelry.  He isn't mine by birth, but I love him & his mom like they were.  He is the most precious little baby.  He got stuck during delivery and they had to pull on him and now he has Erps Palsy, he can't move his right arm on his own, but the doctors say it will get better over time as long as they continue with the physical therapy.  He is getting stronger and can hold onto your finger so that is a good thing.

2nd Pall

Moving right along with this one.  I was hoping to have this one done already but due to getting hurt on the 4th while at the beach I'm so far behind.  I'm now hoping to have it finished by the end of September.  Wish me luck...

Emily Lynn



I just made these for an old High School friends first Grand-Daughter that is due in a couple of weeks. I really hope that she enjoys them. I can't wait to see Miss Emily wearing them. I made them in purple as it is a favorite color of the expectant mother.

Pall - Casket Cover

I am designing & knitting 3 Pall's for a local Funeral Home. After 24 years of knitting it is paying off in a big way. It is great being able to design these. I have never knit anything on this large of a scale before, but so far so good. GOD has blessed with an awesome talent, and I am very thankful.

Christmas Scarfs


I made scarfs for my Grand-Babies to give their teachers at school as part of their Christmas presents. Once I got a few of them finished my daughter picked them up, she ended up falling in love with one and ask if she could keep it, and of course I said yes. She wore it out shopping and to her surprise and mine, one of the ladies at the store wanted one, so she took down her name and I ended up making her one too. Then I ended up making another one to sell after Christmas when one of the parents at my grand daughter's preschool saw the one's I had made the teachers. I love it. They were so simple to make, only took 1 skein of yarn, and they are machine washable & dryable and that makes them very easy to take care of. What started out at 3 ended up at 12, lol.

Horseshoe Print Wallaby




This is the new sweater I am working on. I just love this yarn. Just finished this sweater and I just love it. I am addicted to the wallaby pattern, it is so easy.

New Wallaby



My daughter bought me the yarn as part of my Christmas present, and this is what I made with it. I just love the Wallaby pattern, but I always add my own touch to it. I have gotten lots of compliments on this sweater.

Saturday, September 19, 2009

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.

Thursday, September 10, 2009

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.
You can get the free pattern at Knitting Pattern Central. Just click on the link listed, click on knit patterns on the left, then free pattern directory at the top, then scroll down to ponchos/Lacy Waves Poncho.

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.
