Meret, not blocked yet.
Playmat pattern found in Handmade Home. I love that the kids helped to create this for their new sibling. A perfect project for a new baby.
We’re going to hide these at the bottom of the drawer and pretend they never happened. 
See details for the knits on ravelry.
Yay! It’s raining too. I love the rain. I’ve got a ton planned for this weekend including
What about you?
I didn’t learn how to knit till after Bebe (hmm…new nickname is in order maybe) was born. So, this is my first time knitting while pregnant. I am too scared to knit booties (or socks or anything complicated…), so I make hats.
Over the weekend, DH, ZB and Girlie all learned to knit. DH plans to surpass me soon and start making socks by week’s end. He’s trying to impress my grandmother by learning to knit socks and become the favorite grandchild (in-law). LOL.
A new (to me) camera. I love it. It’s the one I’ve wanted for a few years now, so I’m quite pleased. I wish I had more time to play with it though. Seen above is the scarflet that Adrienne and I have been working on together. I just have to sew my buttons on. Meanwhile, Adrienne’s is probably stuck in the bottom of her purse somewhere, hehehe.
Here are a couple of somewhat recent knits. My latest (a striped hat for Ruby that she designed herself) is going to have to be frogged. I need to change the size and shape. Ugh! After that, I am finally going to do a project for myself. Some type of scarflette/cowl/neckwarmer inspired by those I love at Anthropologie.
It took a while b/c Luis had to give his “input” and try it on a lot. *rolleyes*
These are my latest yarn purchases. The background is a “painting” I’m working on and will probably never show. I am in no way, shape, or form an artist, and my work will probably be embarrassingly simple, and never make the blog, heh. I used my gift certificate, so yea, I’m still winning the “no spend” game. The greens are for a hat I want to make for myself. Probably Foliage. I won’t need two skeins though, so I’ll probably end up taking one back and getting some yummy Manos instead. I also got a blue skein of nature wool, but now I’m meh on that too. The Noro, also meh now that I’m home. First of all, I meant to buy Silk Garden, but forgot, and bought Kureyon instead. Second, I was going to make a scarf with it but 1)I already have a scarf that I wear constantly and love, and 2)Meh. LOL. I was a little disappointed in visiting this shop, as I always am. They didn’t have the circs, DPNs, or stitch markers I wanted (the whole point of the visit was to pick up supplies to make FOliage)and said they were doing inventory, but the few times I have gone, they’ve always been out of something I wanted. One thing I do love, is the attitude of the shopkeeper and the knitters at the store. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. There was a sock class going on while I was there, which was cool to watch. Not like another very popular yarn shop in Austin where I always feel like I’m not cool enough to shop there. I hate being made to feel that way, don’t you? OK, enough with the OT. Happy Saturday!
This hat that is! I made this for T’s new baby girl born Christmas Eve but couldn’t post it till she got it in the mail. Didn’t prevent me from putting it up on flickr though. 
I’m so glad it fits! Since all her girls are amazons, I was worried it wouldn’t, heh. I wanted something cute, relatively simple, but not boring. So, I pulled out my handy dandy Reader’s Digest book of Needlework, or whatever it’s called and found this stitch pattern called “baby fern”. A couple of calculations and one husband sent to the yarn store, and tada, a baby hat.
