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="">

USC Trojans!
This was a fun project. A sweet friend of mine didn't think she had mad enough skillz to handle this. I bet she did, but I'm glad she passed it on to me anyway. I made it with Plymouth Select Worsted Merino Superwash yarn, which is squishy wonderfulness.

Woody and Jessie





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!

New Stuff in my Etsy Shop
It's very strange for me to have no custom orders floating around. I've been working on some really cute stuff for friends and family that I'll be posting shortly, but until then, enjoy the few things I've made and put in my shop! I've changed the eyes on the owlie skirty. I like these better. I also like the way I did the eyelashes, and may change the way I do them on monster bums too. Also, I really like the dark sock monkeys. I'm tempted to keep the shorties for my little guy. If they don't sell before the weather starts to cool down, I think I'll take them down and keep them for myself. Yes, I do smile at my baby's bum wandering around my house decorated by the monsters and monkeys I've made for him and for my nephews who've lent them back to me. Enjoy! All of these are made with 100% wool except for the owlie skirty which is alpaca wool blend, and all are size medium large fitting from about 12-24 months.

Cowgirl Boots
Not much to say about these, except ADORBS!!! Man... I really think I need a girl. Made from alpaca and wool with this pattern via Ravelry.

Hallie's Slouchy Hat
My niece's favorite colors are orange and turquoise. Together, for preference. She's been asking for a hat for years. I'm such a terrible aunt to my older nieces and nephews. I finally got around to making her a hat for her 13th birthday. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. My model here is my 7 year old. He wasn't happy about this. I promised I wouldn't show it to anyone, but... well... I'm nothing if not a terrible parent :).
BTW, I totally love this color of orange. It's just a touch pinkish. Very pretty in real life, and very hard to photograph. I'm also modeling it. You'll probably never see my face more than this... I really hate having my picture taken :)

Itsy Bitsy Monsters
I made these for a friend whose twins were born at 23 weeks. I should have taken a picture of them in my hand... they're about the size of my palm. I just about died of squee while I was making them!

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


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


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.

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.
Hats!
It's been quite a while since I've posted anything. Shame on me! We've had a new baby (okay... he just turned one) we moved to a new city (all right... 7 months ago) and we've all been sick all winter. Those are okay excuses to not have posted anything, right? Okay I know. No excuse. I actually have done many projects, but I haven't been able to get pictures of all of them before I sent them off or gave them away. I'll do my best to catch up. We'll start with some hats that went to Canada a few weeks ago.
These are all my own pattern except the Koala hat which was bought at the request of the mama who ordered the hats. I love love LOVE how soft the yarn is that I used for the Koala hat. The owls are made with my favorite Berroco Ultra Alpaca with trims in whatever, and the monster is Cestari.
Enjoy!
By the way, I LOVE the eyes on that little girlie owl. I'll definitely be using those again!
