Socks

I knitted these with Sockotta sock yarn...it's ok to handle, but not as soft as pure wool would be. Still they're cute and I like them. MY 100purewool is on it's way and I'm looking foward to the diaper covers I can make with it! I'm also starting a pair of booties with the leftover sockotta.

New shorties

Been busy knitting!

These are a pair of shorties I knitted for my Toby. They are sized large. I used 100% merino wool (SO SOFT) and size 7 dpn and circulars. Can't wait to lanolize them and try them out!



These are another pair of shorties I knitted, size medium. They are 100% wool, but not merino, so I would consider them slightly irritating, especially to sensative skin. I'm hoping I can sell these!

Wool Soaker

I knitted these over the last week or so. These are using 100% Merino wool

(Malabrigo). It took almost an entire skein, using size 7 needles, knit in the round. The are just finishing drying after I lanolized them (my first attempt). I can't wait to try them out tomorrow - I also made a flannel fitted pocket diaper for my DS, and the combo is exciting to try out!

My new socks

These were so much fun to knit up! I used Lorna Lace yarn, Shephard sock in 630 Bittersweet. It is a mix, 80% Superwash wool, 20% nylon and it is so soft! I loved working with this yarn, even if it is a tad pricey, but it wears so nicely!

They took me a few weeks to do, but I was taking my time on the first sock, the second I did in about 3 days, so not too bad.

Bumbly Hat

I love this hat! Made on size 5 dpn with Canon Soft yarn with a pattern from Debbie Bliss baby hat pattern except I changed it to a knit in the round pattern instead of on two needles. Also, I made an i-cord at the top instead of the sewing a long thingie in half.

This is for one of Curtis's co-workers new babies.

Baby Mittens

This is a pair of baby mittens I knitted up for a friend. I co 24 sts, rib for a bit (about 2"?), then stockinette stitch for about 3", k2tog around, k 1 rd, k2tog around, draw yarn through sts. Then I crocheted a chain to link the two mittens. I use a similar pair for Toby and I love the way they work! Even if he manages to get them off, at least we haven't lost them yet!

Infant Sweater

This has been a work in progress for the last week or so. The pattern is a Debbie Bliss from my baby knits for Beginners book, in size 0-3 months. I love the way it turned out! I did it on size 7 and 8 straight needles, but would love to try this in the round or at least in two pieces rather than 4. This is a gift for a friend.
