Bunches of Baby Knits

Check out the Little Lamby Knits Pattern Shop here for more fun patterns!

I wrote this the day before Loxley was born, but never had a chance to upload photos...

I have been very busy knitting over the past few months, but haven't had time to blog to share :) Knitting wee things is so quick and makes you feel like you have accomplished so much! I will keep this brief and full of photos :D

Curly Purly diaper covers (soakers) using leftover wool yarn from various projects.

Easy Raglan Sweater by Marie Connolly in The Expectant Knitter. Used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK leftover from India's Corona sweater. I ran out right at the end, so I used some dark teal DB cashmerino for the loops and sleeve edges.

Ok, I used the Curly Purly diaper cover pattern for the top portion of the pants as I love not have to use a drawstring. Then, I added a gusset and legs. I used Noro Kureyon and made size 0-3 months. Raveled here!

Another raglan sweater from The Expectant Knitter. This is the one in the book, for the yellow one, I added my own pattern and short sleeves. The hat is the Ganomy Hat from Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitters Almanac. Lox wears this hat all the time! Raveled here and here.

Another pattern from The Expectant Knitter! Baby Leg Warmers! I used Knit Picks Pallete yarn and made size 3-12 months. Raveled here.

Fleur-de-Lis by Shui Kuen Kozinski in Knitting Fever Angora Extra. So soft! The pattern is available on Ravelry. My project notes are here.

Willow really wanted a new sweater. I bought some Diamond Yarn Edo at the LYS especially for her :) I had to have pink! The pattern is from Phildars Pitchoun Fall/Winter 2--8/09. The buttons are rosewood made by a local craftsperson, also from our LYS. Willow loves this sweater and wears it alot :)

Many photos ..... Few Words

I haven't had much time to update my blog with my finished projects. I have just been way too busy! I did manage to get a whole blog post almost complete when my computer shut down. I didn't have the heart to re-write everything so have waited a bit...Here goes; photos on top, info below each one :)

"Little Miss Muffet" by : Zephyr Style
Made for Willow in 100% cotton, this pattern runs small so it will end up for Scarlett sooner rather than later. Very pretty!

Octobers Knitters Almanac Project - Open Collared Pullover for Sage.
100% merino wool, so it is extremely soft and he can wear it next to his very sensitive skin. This was a lot of fun to knit and I learned a lot of new techniques. In the beginning, I didn't even want to knit this pullover, but now i am happy that I did!

Novembers Knitters Almanac Project - Moccasin Socks.
Ironically, I broke my baby toe so had plenty of time to get these socks done! I should have made them tighter but they do fit well. I love the colors too :)

Matching Hat for Sages Tweed Sweater. Nice and soft, ribbed hat with a diamond cable pattern added. He wears this all the time; even to bed!

Leg Warmers and a matching Ballet Wrap for Mady
This is the same type of yarn that I used for Sages pullover so it is nice and soft. I have added a free leg warmer pattern to my Ravelry page and will add the wrap once I have finished writing it up.

A chunky cabled pullover with drop stitch and dropped stitch sleeves. Unfortunately, the sleeves are way too long; still! I have taken them out and adjusted them three times now and will have to do it yet again. The problem? The pattern schematics don't allow for the growth that takes place once you drop the sleeve sts. Doesn't matter too much with the main body as the cables tend to help hold the shape. I love the sweater, love the soft Debbie Bliss Cashmerino yarn, but am not loving the sleeves. Showed it anyways because we all have projects we need to fix :)
