Wool Soakers

These are my first attempt at knitting up some wool soakers. The pattern came from little turtle knits and was knitted up in a galaway wool. They worked up farely quick but the directions at the gussets were kind of confusing. I wish I had known about wool soakers before I bought diaper covers for my daughter. I guess there is something in the wool that neutralizes the urine smell so you only have to wash them once a week unless there is a blow-out.

Anyway here they are:

cute little things

These cute little things were knitted up in Debbie Bliss wool/angora blend.

The pattern was a free one found on knitty.com

They we be gifted to a special mama friend ASAP!

Hope you like them Meghann :)

My very own cabled socks

Since I picked up my needles again a couple years ago I haven't knitted ANYTHING for myself. I made up my mind what I most wanted was a pair of socks knitted out of the new Noro Sock yarn. I finished the first one at a winter knitting retreat and couldn't wait to post it. I will post another pic when I have both of them knitted.

Dylan's Birthday Zebra

This charming little fellow was knit for a friend's one year old son.

The pattern was out of "knitted Toys" by Fiona McTague and knitted up in an acrylic blend. I am pretty happy with how he turned out and can't wait to get it to Mr.Dylan

Happy 2nd Birthday Fiona

My daughter is turning 2 today! I can't believe so much time has passed. It justs seems like yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital. Here's to you my beautiful spirited Pixie Fiona................................

Sampler Afghan

This is the beginning of an afghan I am knitting for my in-laws. It is a sampler afghan knit up in a washable wool. I love being able to learn new stiches and patterns while knitting something so warm and cozy.
