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.

Introducing Livvy!

This is my beautiful new niece! She was born just yesterday and I guess my sister had to try on her going home outfit to make sure it would fit since she was just a little smaller than expected; 6lbs 15oz and 18" long. I think she's so sweet! And has the most perfect mouth a baby's ever had. Of course, I made the ladybug skirty :)

Ella the Elephant

This is an extremely popular fabric, and very hard to find. Just trying to find decent PICTURES to try to copy it was very difficult. I'm very pleased with how they turned out, and I hope the mama is too.

Cutest thing I've EVER MADE!

Yes... this is definitely the cutest thing I've ever made. I think the monkeys will remain my favorite forever. This one was made holding three strands of lace weight alpaca together. The marled brown is actually 2 different browns and a natural. This is one of those that I'm sad to see go. However, I'm pretty sure I have enough of the yarn left to make myself one... if I ever have another baby and if that baby happens to be a girl. *Sigh* Making baby stuff sure makes for baby hunger.

DK Weight Ultra Alpaca

Remember how I said I love working with Berroco Ultra Alpaca yarn? Well, I've found a way to convince more people to let me make their soakers out of it! All I had to do was find it cheaper so I could make it at the same price that I make regular wool soakers, and that came in the form of a DK weight instead of worsted. I had Suzie try out a little soaker on Addy that I'd made from the DK weight to make sure it wouldn't be too thin for a soaker, but alpaca fibers are so much more water resistant than regular wool that the DK works just as well, but holds up better than the wool. And it's so pretty and soft! My mission to convert the world to alpaca is well underway! (Mwah-ha-ha-ha!!!)
