Ride 'em Cowgirl!

This is the super yummiest yarn I have ever worked with! It's squishy and soft and the colors are oh so lovely!  The colorway is by Dashing Dachs, called Stallions. So pretty!! I had to send this off before I could get my usual photographer to take pics, so these are my untalented phone pics.  They do not do justice to the colors.  I tried these on Jonah and they fit him perfectly, but it was naptime, and he was NOT cooperative, so I didn't get any pictures of him modeling.  When I tried the hat on him, he immediately went to the family room and dug out Toy Story so he could watch Woody in costume!  So cute <3 .="" p="">

Mr. Grinch

Sometimes I think I might be a genius.  I'm pretty proud of this outfit.  I almost wish I had made it for my niece, cuz then I'd get to hold it and pet it :).  Made with Berroco Ultra Alpaca, sized 0-3 months, and modeled on my gorgeous little niece Kynslie.

Woody and Jessie

This has been a super fun project! Things have been going very slow for me. I just can't seem to stay well for more than a few days at a time, and it's really put a pinch on my creativity. However, I'm still here, still kickin' and hopefully with the new drugs I will be able to get on top of everything and put some more cute stuff up here!

This mama has a boy and a girl, ages 2 and 3, and of course they're huge Toy Story fans, as are my boys, so this is so perfect for them! I can't wait to see action shots of these. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they came out. I hope the mama does too!

I also made booties to go with the Woody pants.

I've been meaning to add these cute pics of the ADORABLE kiddos who got to wear these forever!  Check out how CUTE they are!!!

Mary had a Little Farm...

I had a client ask me to girlify the Old McDonald longies.
                                 

 

 

 I'm so pleased she did!  And I'm totally STOKED at how they came out! A couple of things really made me squee with these. First, the bows.  THE BOWS!!! And the flowers.  Ok and the fence. Now I"m wishing I had a little girl of my own to make a pair for.

The same mama wanted a pair of newborn owlies.  SQUEE!!!

Old McDonald... AGAIN!

This is apparently my new Skullie... as in I'm getting lots of requests for it!  I'll have another one, slightly different to post in a couple weeks.  New to this edition is the hat.  I love the hat.  My design, but inspired by a hat I saw on Ravelry.  Modeled by my gorgeous niece Livvy... but only because my little guy Jonah was asleep at the time.  

Wanna hear the funny part?  I ordered extra yarn so I could make a pair of these for Jonah... and then I got another order for The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  So I'm gonna have to order more for my little guy.  You'd think I'd have the best dressed baby on the planet. Le sigh. If only I actually had time to knit for my own family!  

This is Jonah modeling the hat. Not a great pic, but he's just so darn cute!  We were having peanut butter sandwiches for lunch... he was helping spread the peanut butter :D.

Can you tell me how to get....

I'm in love with these.  I don't ever want to make them again. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE them.  They're made with Stockbridge by Webs which is close to Berroco Ultra Alpaca and I'll sometimes use them interchangeably since they're the same weight and blend, and sometimes I can't find the colors I want in Berroco, or I don't want a whole skein.  Berroco only comes in 100g skeins, while Stockbridge is half that, so I don't have to buy as much if it's colors I probably won't use as much.  It's a little pillier than the Berroco, and not quite as soft, but still a very  nice yarn that I prefer over almost any 100% wool.  Yup.... love these.  Still hate embroidery.

My Little One's Coming Home Outfit

Here's my sweet little guy modeling his outfit.  He came naturally on January 6th, weighing 8lbs, 20 inches long. We named him Jonah Michael, and we're utterly and completely head over heels in love with him <3

Monster Set

Yes, this is a repeat of Owie's monster outfit... but who can blame the mama for wanting it?  It's ADORABLE if I do say so myself, and I do :D  I need to get to work on a set for my little newbie.  Made from Cleckheaton Country 8ply washable wool.  After machine washing it, it didn't even look like I'd done anything to it at all. It was absolutely perfect, and nice and soft.  It's listed as DK weight, but it's really more of a light worsted.  I'm definitely gonna have to revisit this yarn for future washables.

Adorable Livvy!

This is my niece Livvy in an adorable outfit I made her... I sure hope my new baby is HALF as cute as she is! And just so everyone is properly impressed, she's not even 7 months old, and is already crawling and sitting up by herself! My sister says she's even starting to pull herself up! She's in big trouble if you ask me. Livvy is very petite also. Most of her clothes that fit are still 0-3 months. Love this bitty girl!

Old McDonald Had A Farm....

E I E I OOOOOOO :) I love these. I'm gonna have to make a pair for my newbie.

This wonderful mama sent me a couple of pics of her little lady wearing these :D  Apparently every time she puts them on, she has to point out the animals and make their noises.  I LOVE IT! :D
