Happy Wednesday
No human baby yet.....we'll keep you posted!
I am joining in with Ginny and all the knitters out there this week,
sharing what I'm knitting and reading at the moment.
Here goes....
I knitted up a little alpaca vest for the farm store. I love little girl things.
As the mother of all boys, I get my girly knitting out for customers.
This little number is for sale in the coop.
Our dear family friend delivered a baby girl over the weekend.
Yay! Molly is a cutie. She lives in the wild west, but her mom is from the Jersey Shore.
I thought Molly needed a little summery dress that would remind her mom of the beach.

It's an original design by me and I'm writing up the pattern now so I can sell it on Ravelry.
Keep your eyes out for it!
And some more finished knits...
My Goldfinch Cardigan is all done.
It was a pleasure to knit and I have worn it every day since it's been done.
I know my family is sick of looking at me in it, but hey, it took a long time and was a lot of work and I love it. So for now, I'm the girl in the yellow sweater.
Here are some proper pictures of it.
For new projects this week:
I casted on my sister Andee's newest pattern.
I also casted on another baby girl dress so I can check my pattern.
Making this one in a dark purple alpaca merino blend.
I thought it would be adorable for fall with a little onesie under it.
I am reading Guests on Earth by Lee Smith
It is a story based on the mental hospital that Zelda Fitgerald was a patient
when it burned down. Based loosely on the hospital and patients there.
So far it's very good.
So for now, that's my knitting.
We're all hoping for a little baby boy's safe and healthy arrival any day.
I can't wait to meet this little man!!!!!
Happy knitting and reading.
Hope to see you at the farm soon!

ReplyDeleteWow, what beautiful knits!!! Just stunning! I had not known of this Lee Smith novel... I heard her speak years ago...when her book _Saving Grace_ was recently published... she's very good and a great writer! Wishing you all goodness and God's mercy on the birth of your son!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE your little girl knit, it's so adorable! If you need a test knitter or something... I am not typically the kind of person to commit to KAL or test knitting for some reason so you can take that as a huge compliment to your design! :-) I need to be on the watch for it to be posted on ravelry, I guess!
