Happy Birthday Kelli

On Friday My little girl will be turning 26, Happy Birthday Kelli hope you have a wonderful day!

blast from the past!!!

 I was at Zellers ( Canada's K-mart) yesterday, browsing the yarn aisles, when I came across this yarn that included a slipper pattern from my childhood, so I've had to buy it! I couldn't wait to get started on them, so after Cari picked up Dylan and the supper dishes were done, I sat down and start them! ugh....what is this stuff made of *100% Olefine Exelon* what the frig is that??? ... how can anyone knit with this stuff? It splits like crazy and feel awful. But I remember these as my favorite slippers, my sister used to knit them every year for Christmas presents. They were so warm and comfy!It is a simple intarsia garter stitch pattern. I will finish them, wear them, and most likely knit them again... just not with this Yarn!

Hat and Mitten set for Jacob

Jacob is growing like a weed, and has grown out of his newborn hats already, So it's time for the bigger baby size. I love this hat pattern, as you can probable tell, as this is my third time knitting it.
 The Mittens are made from a free pattern I found here and boy do they knit up fast!
 If you have a little one and live in a colder climate,Then I highly recommend this pattern. 
the set used a little less than a skein of Patons Classic Wool Merino, in the denim colourway,  The mitts are made on size 3.75 dpn's. 
I hope to have a photo shoot with Jacob soon.

Another hat for Dylan

This is my second time making this hat, I love the pattern, but found the ear flaps weren't spaced far enough apart, so I added 7 sts to the front, between the ear flaps, then decreased 7 sts evenly on the 25th row of stocking stitch, and I believe it worked.
