Melanie's Sweater


 Meet Melanie. 
 She is wearing a favorite sweater that I've knitted many times.   This is the first time for a granddaughter.


This is a Debbie Bliss pattern and even comes with a little sheep that fits nicely in the pocket.


This is knit with a cotton knitpicks yarn.  They are my favorite.

Manor House Quilt Border #1

I am slowly working on my house quilt.  The center is done and posted here.
These are pinwheel squares for the first border.  There are many to be made.  I have them all cut out and as I have time, I sew a few together.  Now that spring is here and I'm outside a lot, this may take a while.

Sweaters for Boys


This is Elisha when he was much younger weaaring a cute new sweater that I knitted him.  Cables are really fun to knit.  This yarn was a very nice color that I found at Hobby Lobby.  The Red Heart yarns are getting better than they used to be.  I usually don't like buying them.





This is a pattern that I've done before that I really like.  It's a chunky yarn, also from Hobby Lobby, and very soft.  I do like using this for certain things. It is a very quick knit.

Elisha's Baby Quilt

This was a fast and very easy quilt to put together.  I copied a picture I found on pinterest because I liked the style of it.  It is all squares and I did a lot of strip piecing on it to make it easy. This quilt is completely from scraps that I have in my stash.


Then I had Elisha's name embroidered on it.


There's Elisha boy

A Nice Little Sweater for a Sweet Little Granddaughter


This is a smocked sweater that I knit for June.  It'll be nice and cozy this spring.
You can tell that she's ready for mud puddles.


I knit it from a Knitpicks yarn that doesn't exist anymore.  I'm glad I got some of the last of this color.  I really like the color.
The yarn is a cotton blend.
