I finished the blue baby hat, here are a couple of pictures.


And heres a photo of the bag filled with my current WsIP.

Here is whats in there at the moment:
Two blankets--the blue one I am knitting for Kieran & the start of one for my husbands cousins baby son who is due this fall.
The start of an adult sized hat (at least i hope it will be, we'll see). Purple ; )
The start of a baby bonnet.
The kerchief I started on several months ago and have not barely touched since!
The start of whats supposed to be (and so far is) a Super Easy baby bootie that will look like a bag & not fall off. -to match the hat

Knitting supplies (yarn, darning needles, stitch markers, etc) & needles & patterns & stuff.

I looked through some of my ebay goodies again and found a needle threader, i LOVE those things. much easier with yarn even. I was Ok at threading thread without one but yarn. ack. scary thought it gets all bunched up. Not with this!! Too cool.

At the moment I am sewing up a tiny strip into a mini purse. Lots of fun. really ; ) heehee

I've been knitting a lot lot lot.
I started that baby blanket but i don't like it so i'm gonna start over.

I added onto the little hat by picking up stitches around the bottom. Unfortunatly I had no idea how to cast off and make it stretchy (is that possible, too late now!) so it is just big enough for Kierans head & jer can't get it on at all. It'll probably be good for the tiny one when he/she is a year old though. lol.

i'm working on the blue baby hat still. I'll post pictures when i'm through. I'll have to find a stuffed animal to model it. Since I don't have the tiny one yet. so so long to wait ; )

DECREASE! Thanks Kat. heh.

Yeah and I am just knitting tons lately. I don't know I didn't for like a week or two now I'm completely back into it. Love that. : )
I'm going to work on the little blue hat again today. Hopefully i'll knit far enough up this time! I'm not using a pattern but I think it looks cute so far.

So I found out my husband's cousin is having a boy. Now I have to decide how to knit the blankie for him.
I have baby clouds in pastels, blue, and a little leftover white. I was thinking I might start w/ white, then do blue & pastel stripes & then end with white.
Or I could do the blue & pastel stripes and learn to do the crocheted edges w/ white, if that works with this yarn? Anyone know?? My neighbor crochets so I shouldn't have a problem with learning that. . . I would hope. heh. andrea, you would help me right? lol

i want to start now but i need to decide what to do.

Also the hat is done, too short like you know? I get so impatient & start to reduce it too early (i know thats not the right word i cant figure out what to say there though). I need to knit for a little longer this next time. I'm found out hte circular needles I used were 16" size 8 so I got size 6 for this next one. Gotta love ebay for my needle choices!


I wish Kat was on to help me decide on the blanket. la la la.

I don't think it's going to be a newborn hat. Maybe 6 months - a year.

Anyone know what size around (inches) hats are for what ages?

Oh and i'm about halfway done. I dont know what size the needles i'm using are (lol. ebay buy) so i need to find out before i can switch to DPNs ya know?

Ok so I started a hat on regular needles. But then I got bored with that. I knit like one row. heh. I'm such a dork.
So today I started one using cotton yarn on circular needles. I am going to work on it all day and I'll post pics of whatever I have done later this evening.
I'm taking a break now cause my house seriously needs some attention ; )
