YAY my first normal sized garment!




Im soooo excited! I just finished my very first adult sized garment!!! Now I feel as though I can accomplish just about anything!!! So here it is! Hope you all enjoy! And now my husband can never say that I don't make things for him!! HAHA.

Next on the project list: Gryffindor sweater and head scarf for me, and then a Hufflepuff jumper dress and beret for my lil sis! I really want to show off my talent in our Christmas pictures! Soo excited to be trying new patterns and actually making things that I can wear! Hoping that winter gets here soon so that we can start wearing these warm wool garments!

YAY for Harry Potter and YAY for making something really neat!

Busy bee!

This past week or two has been insane! With in-laws in town, little sister starting middle school, and work, I have managed to get hardly any knitting done! Or anything done for that matter!

Mom2 is on her way back to Tally tomorrow, sister starts school tomorrow, and back to a normal schedule next week! Whew! Its been a long and crazy summer!

I must admit that Im looking forward to my normal schedule again. The baby is actually starting to play on the floor now with his toys and is doing less running around! Hopefully this means that there will be less chasing around! His birthday is coming up and Im so excited that he is going to be 2! Each day he is learning more and more and is continually surprising all of us with the things he is saying and doing! He has started saying "I want ____" which is quite funny. And apparently I have him well trained, too! The other day I went to Michael's to pick up some paint brushes for my husband. And the baby cried out "I want soft!" (Soft is his word for yarn). HAHAHAH Nice!!! Starting him at a young age! Hey, maybe by 3 he will be knitting?!?!?! Then I can finally start that business....

Anyways, well, lots I have been working on. Trying to get at least one vest done before the month is over. Almost done with the Ravenclaw scarf. Have to knit a few more rows, bind off, and then weave in ends. Already finished one ball of wool for the the first sweater vest so hopefully the rest will go quickly. My sister just expressed to me last night that she would like a Harry Potter set as well for Halloween (haha yea right! Like I have time for that....lol). We will see. I am an over achiever....

Little girls little girls!



(Watched Annie with lil sis the other day! thought of this song with all this pink around!)

Just finished up some great items for baby girls! I made the pushing daisies hat for my photographer friend. Can't wait to see newborn shots with this one!!! It turned out really cute and only took one night to make! YAY!

The dress is for my mom's friend that is expecting a grand daughter. Originally I was going to give the sweater to her, but then started thinking that the dress would be much better here with this hot weather! I am going to give the sweater to my mom's niece, who is expecting her fourth and first baby girl!!! Im also making a baby blanket to match, but since she isn't due until November, I have some time to finish it after I get back onto Harry Potter.

Anyways, it has been great fun doing all these short projects, but now I really need to get back to Harry Potter because then it is time to work on Christmas gifts! Yikes! Where did this year go?????

Well, shark week is on.....you know what Im going to be doing!
