Little Stay On Slippers

This is a free pattern called Little Stay On Slippers. They are really easy to knit (take hardly any yarn or time). And, they stay on!

Idlewood

This is Idlewood by Cecily Glowik MacDonald. I love her designs.

Summer knitting for kids

I knit this sweater for my son. He loved it when I was knitting it! He won't wear it, now.

I also knit a tank top for my daughter. She won't wear it.

I'm done knitting garments for my kids. They just take up too much of my crafting time and the recipients don't love them. I'm going to knit them small projects (slippers, toys, hats, mittens, etc.) but no more sweaters.

I knit one of these for my daughter and another one (in purple) for my niece. This one took awhile to knit because I was using a picture she liked and developing the pattern myself. It was pretty simple to figure out but involved math. Feather and fan lace at the top and bottom - short rows to lift the neckline, i-cord straps...cute!

Anybody still there?

Hello! It's been over a year since my last post. I'm sure you can guess that things have been busy. The school year is an extremely busy time. I often post more crafty goodness in the summer but this past summer was also very busy with crafting and home improvement and vacations. Well, I have a little free time and I wanted to post some of my things. I'll try to get out here more often!

I knit a few things for myself last year and then this summer was taken up with knitting for some kids. Here are the sweaters I made for myself in the past year:


This sweater took me a good long time to make. I spun the yarn myself and then had to adjust a pattern to be knit in-the-round. I love it!


I modified my Buttercup pattern to remove the lace panel in front and add little gathers. It's very comfy.

Love this pattern! It's a sleeveless top-down with a crocheted ruffle. It's by Wendy Bernard.
