Second Hat for Nancy in WY

Here is the second hat for Nancy in WY-my pledge is done. Now on to the sweater and hat set for Cooper.

Here is it on my lovely model. Her head is too small for the hat but it sure is cute....You can see pictures of my hats and a couple of other online friends from myknittingcircle's hats at Nancy's blog at http://wyomingbreezes.blogspot.com/2008/04/special-delivery.html Such a wonderful cause. I hope I can keep doing some hats on a regular basis to help out....

Cooper Gowns-One more time....

Okay, here goes the Cooper gowns one more time for AC4C with shorter sleeves so they can be used in the hospital. My sleeves were to skinny so got "permission" to give cutting them shorter a try and here they are. Still loving my model....AWWWW-she looks so peaceful when she sleeps....

Here they are without a model. There are 5 of them total to go to Cooper for AC4C.
You could probably take a look at the earlier post and this post and see the difference in the sleeves. I think even though the sleeves are shorter they still are so very cute and that they should work out fine now. What do you think?

What I have finished so far....

One of my friends from myknittingcircle, Nancy in WY, needed help making a couple of hats for one of her charities so we pledged to make some and this is my first one on dpn's. I am working on the second hat and it is going to be same size and slightly different style and a different color.

Here is a modeled version-Awwww-how cute!Here are the burpee cloths that Ginden designed from AC4C for this month's charity project for Cooper. She sent me the fabric and the pattern. I made all 12 and will be sending them at the end of the month.

Here are the 7 knit hats I made for AC4C's April project for Cooper.

Here it is being modeled by my other lovely model-Awwww-Isn't she cute?Here are the diaper gowns I made for AC4C's April project for Cooper. The pattern is Sew Young Sew Fun Serger gown. I made them as per pattern but the sleeves are too small. It was requested they be 3" and right now they are not. I am attempting to fix that by making the sleeves shorter and hope they can still use them at Cooper. If not, I will hold them for another project-maybe for a preemie project for AC4C.

Here is my lovely model again modeling one of the hats, which I didn't do right the first time which is why there is only 7 going to Cooper instead of 8. She is modeling the gown as well which is also a goof because my serger decided to give me issues and that is why Cooper is only getting 5 instead of 6. But, Awwww isn't she cute all dressed up?


I still have a pastel pink sweater (the pattern is a free pattern from the lionbrand website called Baby's First Cardigan or pattern #60132A) with a matching hat (will probably make it the same as the one in the beginning of this post-those are great!) I am working on for Cooper as well. It is not the one that is listed in my previous post of my sweater progress with the raglan sweater. I am also going to make the same pastel pink sweater from lionbrand for my preemie niece by the end of the month. I will post pictures when I get them all done. I hope everything is okay in y'alls corner of the world....

The Big Scoop

Hello to all again,
I have finally uploaded the picture of the other hat called The Big Scoop that I made for my mother to go with the others in a previous post. I didn't like it on me but it sure looks good on my mother. She is sure going to enjoy them on her and dad's trip to Europe.


Here is two views of it. It almost looks reggae style but looks different on....
See what I mean-totally different on. Have a great day....

LampShade Covers

I have found that so many people would love to see the lampshade covers I have made for my mother so I thought I would post them here. The pattern came from a book called Thread for the Home by Leisure Arts Little Books. I have them on ravelry but not all people can get to that so here they are....hope you enjoy them....

I hope you can get a good view of them with the light on and off. I made two of them and she has requested a third for another lamp. I did make others for my sister in red and a neighbor in red also. The ones in these pictures are the same size but the red ones are smaller. I adjust size depending on the size of the shade.

Here is a picture of one of the red one however it is for a different lampshade than the one in this picture but at least you can see what it looks like in red and smaller. Hope you enjoy....

Sweater Progress

Hello there,
I thought I would show off my sweater progress....
You can actually tell it is a shirt/sweater now. I am almost to the fourth buttonhole-there are five total and then on to the sleeves....YEAH! I am so excited about my first sweater. The pattern came from http://www.knittingonthenet.com just go to baby and then raglan cardigan/sweater worked from the top down. Still been real busy but did finish a book and got this far on my sweater. Now it is off to catch up on emails since I was out of town. Hope all is well in y'alls corner of the world....
