Late but not forgotten

I made this for my daughter thinking it could be part of her Christmas this year then she reminded me that I still owe her a hat from last Christmas, lol.  Oh NO, so she got this one early, and now I have to find something else for this year.  She has requested a new scarf to go with a coat she is getting for Christmas from her grand parents.  It's ok, I love knitting for her.

Welcome 2 The World

My beautiful niece Tiffany had her baby boy Eli Thomas on February 23, 2012.  He is just beautiful.  This is the baby I knitted the Camo baby blanket for, also the baby sweater and hats.  She loved the blanket and I'm sure she will get a lot of use out of it.  I still have to get buttons for the sweater before he gets to big to wear it.  I know she will be a wonderful mother.

Steelers Hats

My son just loves the Pittsburg Steelers. I saw this pattern and couldn't resist making him a hat to match his new sweater. The first one I went strickly by the pattern in size large, the second one I made the small size, I changed the colors around and decreased on every row instead of every other to make it more like a beanie.

Cup Cake Hat for Ms.Dawn

I made this for my GrandDaughter's pre-school teacher...when she found out that I knit, she told my daughter that she had requested one of these from her boyfriend that knits, but he refused to knit it for her so my daughter ask me to make it for her and I of course said YES...
I finished knitting the cherry to go on top, and MacKenzie just had to help stuff it, lol...Then she insisted that Nana add sprinkles to the top of it...
I'm really pleased with the way that it turned out...
I have also knitted 2 more of them for Christmas presents...

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.
