Ava's Raglan Cardigan

This is Ava's Raglan sweater for Christmas. I just need to find & sew a button on to the sweater & it will be complete! Super quick & easy knit.

Ava's Twirly Skirt


Project update - I've completed the first color section. Working on the second now. Already outgrowing the circular that this is on. Easy pattern so far. Just lots & lots & lots of stockinette stitch.

More Baby Stuff

There must be something in the water here in Greenville as I know five women who have either had a baby or have gotten pregnant this year. That is not including myself, by the way. So, I am knitting baby stuff galore! Here is a baby hat I have cast on for my good friend Lisa, who is also having a boy!

A Weekend for Finishing

This weekend I finally finished some projects I have had on my needles for a while. Just sitting in their little box waiting to be finished.

The first is Ian's Baby Stuff Hat, a free pattern on Ravelry. I used a tiny portion of a skein of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Multi in the color 602 - "Happy Stripe".

The second is a dish cloth pattern that I have altered from a pattern I got off of Ravelry as well. As soon as I have Erin test knit this for me and get authorization to publish I'll post it on here! I used Lily Sugar 'N Cream in the color Summer.

My Anniversary Yarn!

These are some yarns I picked up yesterday as my anniversary present. Some are for other projects.



This is another skein of Malabrigo that I picked up for another project for my mother.


This is a skein of Lorna's Laces shepherd sock yarn. I already have a skein of this but wanted to be able to make longer socks so I went ahead & picked up another skein.



This is Cherry Tree Hill Superwash Sock yarn.


This is Malabrigo Sock yarn. Sooo soft but sooo pretty. I can hardly wait to make something with this yummy yarn.


This yarn I picked up for a project I will make for my mother. It's Cascade Yarns Eco + in navy blue. At $15 this yarn was a steal!

Andrew's Blankie


This is part of my Christmas knitting list. I started this blanket in March for Andrew & have just left it sitting in my knitting basket. It seems like it's taking forever to knit but I think it's more because I just never touch it! However, I have determined to finish this in time for Christmas so that I can have it wrapped & under the tree for him. I'm about 40% through the project. I want it to be kind of long so he can have it on his bed. Plus it will be able to accommodate a growing boy! Hopefully he'll get use out of it through his adulthood!

August Mid-Month KAL


This is the August Mid-Month KAL. I don't remember the name of the pattern. I like the cloth but it was kind of boring to knit.
