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.

2 down

Well, I finished Ty's 2 I was working on. What do you think?



His face is a bit dirty still.. forgot to clean it before taking a pic lol.

Kailey's Teal Pants are done but I'm afraid they will be too small. Her hips are larger than I thought and she's not exactly built like the other two. The skirty, and capri's I recently made her are kind of stretched to get over her cloth bum so I'm not exactly sure what to do about that.. but here it is.



Alyssa had this picture my mom had printed for her before she was born with her name and the meaning on it. Alyssa found it the other day and I didn't realize it was in her room. All of a sudden I hear.. "It's bleedin, it's bleedin" I go running in to find drops of blood across the room, on the picture, on one of her stuffed animals, and glass broken everywhere. Ty had his hat picking up the pieces and putting them in it. Luckily he wasn't cut and hers wasn't major or anything but she wiped blood on her picture and a huge stuffed animal. So, I had a kid to sooth, one to put back to bed and a mess to clean up. She asked me to pray for it and said she wanted everyone to see it lol. Oh, and said she wanted her Nani to make a new picture for her but this time with a kitty on it.

Purewool

I got my Purewool and Peace Fleece in already from Burgh Baby Gear! Wow that was fast! She also included a free sample with my order. I first opened the package and thought it was the PF on top but I was wrong.. it was the Purewool. For some reason I was thinking it would be whiter lol. I won't knit with it until I dye it and I won't dye it until I find mason jars for my dyes... crud. Anyone know where to find these besides online with outrageous shipping?
Oh and I am loving my new pattern so far and can't wait to try it on Ty. Here is a pic of my Sea Legends WIP gusset.

Great Find and WIP

I will have to update with WIP pics later but I just wanted to share a great deal on yarn I found. I haven't tried or touched Purewool yet (my Peace Fleece woolies are still a WIP) but I ran across it for a coop price without the hassle and wait.. only thing is that it is undyed. To me, that's no problem but here is the link. Burgh Baby Gear is where everyone keeps talking about a new book that covers all the aspects you could think about for wool covers. They have a pattern for skirties, longies, soakers.. and you can sell the items you make from the pattern without having to pay fees or ask permission. Sounds great huh?

"Promise" Rainbow Shorties... a mix between Sheepy Pants and Adorabubble Baby Britches. This thing pooled so bad.. the yarn was painted (by me...oops) the perfect length to make blocks around the shorties. I knit these nearly 2 full times trying out the ABB pattern and normally I embrace pooling.. but this was neat at top.. looked like "Lucky" rode the rainbow down his pants but then came to a complete stop and was drunk or something lol. (edited to add..just now looking in comparison I may like the first better....hm... crap!)
Front

Back

Here it is now.

"Sea Legends" is about half done I started on it yesterday and worked a couple hours to get this far. I am trying the ABB pattern again and dyed this one about the same length so had a few issues with it to but alternating ends of the yarn helped this time.
