WIP

Just off of my needles are these two:






And currently on my needles.......



a few other nearly finished items that I am testing out a pattern with yarn on hand for some one I still need to go get the yarn I really wanted to do this in. Aren't they cute though? It's a headband :)






I also have a gift in the works for some one but I can't post it yet or she will see it!

Currently on my needles

These aren't the best pictures since usually I take WIP photos with my phone but I just LOVE this first close up one :)

Stocking at iCandi on HyenaCart

Up to Something

I haven't blogged hardly any lately and here I am doing 2 posts in one day. Oh well!

Here are some photos of what I have been up to!

A WIP just off my needles called Whale Stripes and needs the ends woven in still.


I also have a pair of longies for Kailey on my needles (FINALLY!) I need at least 2 more because she has none!

Should be listed today and lanolizing tonight is Sweet Tart. I came really close to keeping this one for Kailey and I still want to! So if you want it, then hurry before I change my mind lol.


I just finished a custom of 2 longies and 1 pair of shorties..





Remember if you see something you like and would like it in another size just email me and I will let you know if I have that yarn in stock for another!

Another custom, this one is hand dyed.


I also have a baby shower gift that has been done for weeks that I still can't share since she will see it on facebook before receiving it. <-- not good! So that will still have to wait since the shower was rescheduled.

I also have a *very* special custom that has been in the works quite a while but I will not post on it until it is complete.

I am working on restocking the shop so if you have anything you would like to see or see more of just send me an email!

New Listings on iCandi

I have 3 longies finished and listed at iCandi on hyenacart.

1st up is Construction Stripes on 100% Wool.


2nd is Rockin' Lizards on Peace Fleece.


And last but not least is Desert Sky on Peace Fleece!


Have fun shopping!

Sheepy Pants heading your way

Just recently I became a licensed Sheepy Time Knits knitter and have since then been knitting like a mad woman trying to stock the shop up with longies for this coming fall. With preschool starting it has definitely been a challenge but here are the first ones heading to the store. :)

Just finished we have Desert Sky size Medium in Peace Fleece. Peace Fleece is nice and thick and holds up well with crawlers and those of us who are a little tough on wool. They have been conditioned to be softer.

Next we have Rockin' Lizard size Large also in Peace Fleece.


Construction Stripes is nearly finished!


I also have an oatmeal colored NB sized pair in soft merino.

While working on things for the shop, I also have things I would like to knit for my own kids. They don't stay small forever and it is easier (& quicker) to knit for them when they are small so I don't want to loose this opportunity! Plus, I have 2 still in diapers to knit for :)

Kailey's soaker in Majestic Mountain on Peace Fleece


I have so many things I would like to knit this winter and fall that I know there is not enough time for!

A hat for an aunt that was recently diagnosed with cancer.


I don't know how I ended up only knitting gender neutral and boy things this time but I promise the girls are up next. Also don't forget that customs are always welcome!

On and Just Off My Needles

Just a quick update here.
Recently Finished:

This is almost finished. The kids ran off with my needle and I can't find another one small enough to sew the buttons on. Kailey has skinny little feet and I can't find shoes to fit. I think these should do the trick but she loves buttons. I guess we'll have to see if they stay on or not.

I also have a pair of Shorties in the Promise colorway on merino but they need elastic in the waist and I forgot to take a picture. They should be done tomorrow.




WIP:

Cute little striped longies for a boy on Peruvian Highland in 12m size.



I love this Strawberry Fields colorway on merino. These will be really soft longies.


Next on my list of things to do is a cat bed, and a cupcake hat for Kailey's 1st birthday.. I cannot believe it is just around the corner!

On another note it is my parents' anniversary today, Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

WIP, Finished items, plus a sale!

Here are two more finished woolies for the shop!
Dragonfly Dance shorties on scrumptious Merino,
and Every Rose Bloomers also on the same merino.
July 1st- 4th iCandi will be having a sale on everything so don't forget to stop by! Use the coupon code INDEPENDENCE to get 10% off or the code FREESHIP to get free shipping!



Recently finished,
Calorimetry that Alyssa stole so I made the button a little kitty. It's too wide for either of us really.
This doesn't really count as finished but it ended up too tight at the ankle, maybe it's the design of this architecture but I can barely get it on. I will end up ripping it out most likely.
Swiffer cover per hubby's request. I haven't made this one with the bobbles before, worked ok but I think I like the other ones I did better.

I am working on my first lace ever and making a shawl to display at the shop. This leaf pattern is gorgeous! The pattern is called Woodland Shawl.

Stitch Marker stocking & WIP!

I have a bunch of stitch marker sets and even a few individuals stocking at iCandi tomorrow but they are up for previews today! Here's a look at a few....




And here are the things on my needles right now!

Scrunchable Scarf
Promise 2
Every Rose 2
Everlasting Bagstopper

ETA I realized I left off that blanket I am working.. pics later!

what's on your needles?

2 more FO

Ahhhh more done for the shop. These were done a few days ago but the weather has been bleak so no pics were able to be taken!


Tulip shorties 3-6m on 100% wool.
Lillith on 100% merino.

I really like both of these!

FO and iCandi

I finished a capri for Kailey in some purewool I dyed.. but she's wearing it and is asleep.. oops. No pics yet so I will add them later. Well, I decided to try and take one.. my camera's battery is dieing and it woke her up.. Sorry Kailey! She has not taken very many naps lately for the older two running around everywhere. She really needs her a mattress for her room now so she can sleep in peace. Well here's a shot of her new capris but not a great one.. I hope she goes back to sleep!

Here is another one for the store (iCandi)... My Lil Monster Lite on BFL size 18m






On another note.. I grabbed my camera when this happened.. because it never does.
They all fell asleep on the way home from Alyssa's preschool. All 3 of them! I tried my best to sneak Ty in to his room.. he woke up. Tried to take Alyssa in.. well she woke up too. Then came Kailey's turn and guess what yup Murphy won again. *sigh* I though I had them all asleep!
Oh and that is not make up on Alyssa.. that's a whoooooole other story...

Updates and FO

I have been quiet (here at least) but I have been busy! If you would like to get a glance at my store you can find it here iCandi ~Knits and More! Things are coming along nicely but I think of something else I need to do constantly. Once you visit come back and let me know what you think!

Here is another store stocking. These are called My Lil Monster after Tyler and all his favorite colors. My Lil Monster has been dyed on Purewool for this one in size 0-3 months.
