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

 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

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.

Lately I've been complaining to anyone who would listen, that I have no time to knit. Well... I guess if I want to knit bad enough, I can find the time, here is the proof...

About 6 months ago I received a request from my sisters granddaughter,she fell in love with the Beret that I had knitted last year, I told her I'd knit her one up if she'd like, she picked light grey, and I just happened to have a ball left over from the sweater I had made for Dylan. This pattern is my favourite hat patterns of all time. It's a quick easy pattern, but has taken me a long time

 It's been a busy week, Dylan seems to be settling in well, I have him on a pretty good schedule that works well for us. I'm still getting my walks in, and he seems to enjoy them, I bundle him up nice and warm and we walk for about an hour each day. Cari has noticed a big change in his sleeping patterns, for the first time he has begun to sleep the whole night through. He even has two naps for

Started this on Sept 17th had it 75% finished when for some reason my dog thought it would make a lovely chew toy? I was able to salvage most of the yarn. but I had other projects I had to knit. Well I'm finally done, and little Jacob has a sweet little sweater to wear, for a few weeks anyway, before he grows out of it! The vintage buttons were a gift to me from my sister Linda.

I started a new project this week,"Kai cable sweater" another design from Louisa Harding, from her book "Natural knits for babies and mom"... She is quickly becoming my favourite designer of baby knits. It's has simple cable panel up the centre of the front,and a turtle neck. Very cute!!! Although Dylan is not quite 6 months, he is a big baby, so I'm making it in the largest size. Cari went

Today we made our way to the Pater's Pumpkin Patch. In search of the perfect pumpkins for our annual jack o lantern carving contest. The boys were sporting their snazzy hats... I got a lot of wonderful comments on them. I even was approached by a Photographer, who asked if I'd be interested in making her some to be used as props!*blushing* I said I'd think about it!

I haven't had a lot of time for knitting lately. My weekends are really the only time I get to knit, but I managed to finish this little pumpkin hat for the new baby it's so cute! I can't wait until he wears it!!!  I thought it would be cute to have all three boys in the same hat for Halloween, so I'll be making two more! I reduced the pattern by 10sts  to fit our newborn and used size 3.5 mm
