First Finish of 2019

Image
Someone gave me some sock yarn a couple weeks ago so I decided to use some of it to make a pair of socks for the son-in-law Frank. His birthday is coming up in a few days. The yarn is actually more of a gray blue, but the camera would not cooperate. I'm just glad it was light enough outside to take pictures. It feels like this has been the darkest winter ever. It actually hasn't, but it feels like it. Decorative Rib Socks for Frank Pattern : Didn't use one Size : Mens size Medium Yarn : Regia 6-fädig Content : 75% Superwash Wool/25% Nylon, sport weight Color : Denim Needles : Circulars size 3 Started:  January 6, 2019 Finished : January 16, 2019 Comments : I used a stitch pattern I found in Charlene Schurch's book Sensational Knitted Socks It's a very easy stitch pattern and looks so pretty. I need to get these in the mail tomorrow. Live long and prosper. \\//

WIPs For Today

Image
Thought I'd post a couple WIP pics. I've been working on this cardigan for the next layette set. I just need to find some buttons for it. I started the hat for it. I don't know if I'm going to continue making these for this whole year, but for now I'm content to make another set. I need to finish the black and white set I'm making for the nephew and his wife, who are expecting any day now. I just need to get the edging on the blanket fabric. I've also been working on the Felt Applique stocking . It's coming along nicely. Don't have much snow out on the ground. Maybe 4 to 6 inches. Kind of unusual for this time of year, but not unheard of. I remember having a winter when I had my shop (early 2000's) where I needed to have my parking lot plowed only 3 times the whole winter. We have had several dry cold days. Even a bit of sunshine, which felt so good. Snow/freezing rain is supposed to move in tonight. I'm ready for spring. Took down the Christ...

For River

Image
We have had an addition to our family. One of my nephews and his wife have had a baby girl (no names for privacy reasons). They named her River which I think is a pretty name. Her birth prompted me to finish the layette set I've slowly been making for her. Here it is. The Cardigan Pattern : Polka Dot Cardigan by Linda Jo Park Size : 3-6 months Yarn : Universal Yarns Uptown Worsted Content : 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color : Black Yarn : Universal Yarns Uptown Worsted Content : 100% Acrylic, worsted weight Color : White Glow Needles : Circular size 6 and 8 Started : November 1, 2018 Finished : November 30, 2018 Comments : When we found out about the coming baby they claimed to know if it was a boy or a girl but refused to tell us which. I was told they didn't want us to choose the traditional pink or blue for colors. So I went with Black and White. Scientific research has concluded newborn babies love black and white because of the stark contrast. They really can't see co...
