I'll have to just buy a toy from China I guess

Look what IrisheyesLynn knit up for a coworker's babygirl shower. She used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. Sweater Pattern found in Debblie Bliss Simply Baby. Hat pattern from http://heyjulie.wordpress.com/
The shower is in a week. There is no way I can knit anything near as cute. I guess I'll just give her some old made in China toy.......(I'm pouting)

It is absolutely adorable. I think you should buy some little jean jumper and blouse that perfectly match the sweater and hat. This new baby will have an entire ensemble and won't you look smart for starting this young lady off on the right foot for accessorizing!

LOL, you are so funny!!! One week? That's enough time to knit some cute stuff - after all, babies are tiny. How about a couple sets of baby socks. I bet they'd go FAST!

I knit up five or so bibs and burp clothes for someone using the Rowan denim once as a gift for a baby shower.

The sweater set is lovely - the color is just beautiful.

I really like Jennifer's idea... (Maybe you'd have time for a cute pair of coordinating socks or booties as well... I'm sure there's something you could knit quick.)

That is so so cute! I think you could most definitely get a pair of baby booties knit up in time. After all, what baby doesn't need booties?

I also vote for the idea of accessorizing - socks, booties, bibs so she doesn't mess up her lovely sweater. All much better than a toy from China that her mother will be afraid to let her use.

And Kathy, I just sent you my address re the Mary Poppins contest. Sorry for the long delay - I missed that post!

I agree with Elaine. In the past few months so many toys were called back that were made in China...it would be safe to knit up a few accessoires...

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
