Projects

Recently, we've completed several projects. Yahoo!


First, I finished knitting this bonnet. I had originally intended to make it for Emily but I didn't check my guage (not so smart!) & it turned out big, so I gave it to my friend Jill. (We exchange knitting and sewing, so it works out perfect!) I'll have to make it again- the pattern is quick. I adore the color and will use the leftover yarn for a pair of booties for Emily because I lost one of hers. YIKES! :( Here is the bonnet:



I finished sewing a skirt for me using this pattern. I changed the pattern, using elastic (still have baby weight to loose!) and tailoring the pannels a bit. I really like the fabric (thanks, Jill, for your help!):

Eric finsihed making my art caddy:

I finished Jonathan's American flag blanket! Well... kinda. I still need to make the 50 stars! But my fingers were itching to knit, so I'm taking a break & saying I'm done. ;) Jonathan is enjoying using it.

Patricia has completed several knitted washcloths for me and is now working on a scarf and cross stitch project. She made this owl for me (and a bird for our pastor's wife but I forgot to take a pic):

More projects are in the works. :) Benjamin and Matthias are now knitting too and Jonathan is working on latch hook. I love the time we spend working on our various projects and talking in the afternoons!

Great job on your skirt! It is pretty. The girls loved Patricia's owl too. Sarah wants Auntie Heather to teach her to knit. She says you are a good teacher. She'd love to make the Little House Shawl!! So pretty.

Thanks! I would LIVE to teach Sarah! It was a blast to work together when they stayed here. The shawl is an easy pattern- the tricky part being the thinner yarn. I can show her the next time we are together! :) Love to you all!
