Whoops

So last week's post didn't publish. Sorry. Now you get two. Started "taters" blanket. Eli - I think is the final decision for his name. Took a few times to get it right but I think i finally have a pattern I like. And it's all my own. Pulled a stitch from a book of stitches I had and went to town with it maybe once I get this done I will write it up and post it for sale. I think I need to test it once more before I sell it. Had a bit of a problem with Eli's blanket but I swear that's more because when I was casting on I had two children and a husband talking at me. It's amazing how no one needs you until you need to count. Anyway below is the start of it. Lots more to come. Bernat blanket yarn on #11 knitpicks. Oh! They have a new color and I am in love! The needles are purple! I don't have a set yet but I want them. Time for a trip to the yarn store I guess. 

It is finished

Well the baby blanket is. Now on to other things. 

Been quiet

Sorry guys. Lots going on. Lots of pattern searching and starting and minor item making. Few Etsy orders (thank you!) but lots to keep me busy. And snow. Argh there was so much snow. Check out my photos to see what I have been up to. 

Baby blanket for a friend. Feather and fan pattern available for download on Ravelry   Baby girl due any day now. Using baby pink/ pink camo/ white red heart yarn. Size 10 knit picks needles. Once again I love them. 

Baby Guinea pig - because I could. Pattern on Ravelry. Crochet in black and white and although it's not super clear in this photo there are 9mm eyes in there. I think if I make more I would like slightly smaller sized eyes or maybe to try embroidering them on. 

This hat.  I am so pleased with this one. I hope to have time this weekend to make a few of these and get them on my Etsy store. Yes I altered the pattern slightly (because of my yarn size I decreased the number of stitches and changed how I do the ridges) but here is the link to the original should you want to try it yourself. If not and you want one let me know. This one is a 0-3 month sized one. Will sell for $8-10 depends on yarn.

I am terrible at following patterns I try and the first time I make it I usually do but tweaking things is part of the job. Makes it unique. 

Anyway that's all for now I need to get back to that blanket if I am going to beat that baby.
