Knitting/ crocheting updates.

I am currently working on a sweater for my baby due December 23. I am having some problems with it, but I think I can get it all worked out just the way I want it!!

I have been busy making things for Christmas this year.

For Ellie I have knitted a horse head hat for her...way cute! I crocheted her a horse purse also.

I am going to be making a monkey hat and purse for Shyla.

I am going to try and get a Dale Earnhardt, Jr hat made for Lehman and a Dale, Sr hat made for Dennis.

I made myself a Kyle Busch Stocking!!! :)

I still need to get Allisons (my baby) baby blanket finished.

Its really cute and made in Pinks, white and brown.

I also made her a very cute little purple hat!

I have written the horse hat pattern out and need to get it on etsy.com. The horse purse attern can be found here! http://kristieskids.weebly.com/1/post/2007/11/horse-purse-pattern-at-long-last.html

My knits (I know I promised these awhile back but I got a little side tracked)

My cell phone cozy. I did add the little pocket on front later on.














The Hello Kitty hat I made for Shyla, she absolutely loved it!

The little red alien I made for Lehman. Now he wants a robot lol!

The m&m roll brim hat I made to show I was a fan of Kyle Busch, I am still not done with this yet!

Busy baby booties

Here is the "Baby Ugg" booties I designed yesterday. I think its adorable! Its made with pink and black wool yarn using a G hook.

Took very little yarn and very little time.


Here is my cowgirl booty I made. I love the little heart! The pattern can be found here BOOTIES



And here are the little tiny baby flip flops I designed. Everyone wears them, so why not baby too right? Well now she/he can!
I loved making this pattern. Its so simple and comes out so cute! I still have one or two things to fix on it before the pattern is complete, but I still have adjustments on almost all my patterns before they are ready to sell.
Hope you enjoy looking at the little shoes as much as I enjoyed making them!

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream

Here is my cute little ear flap hat I made for the baby, with matching car seat blanket.

I used brown, white and pale green for this. I didn't use blue or pink because I have yet to find out what the baby is...

Any way the pattern is out of Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker. The pattern was designed by Bev Ireland. Its called the Seija Set and is really cute and easy to make!

Knitting

Well I have managed to make 4 hats, 2 roll brim and 2 with with bills. I am now trying to make myself a roll brim hat with the number 18 on it for Kyle Busch..the greatest NASCAR racer ever!!!
I will post pics of the things I have made soon...

Knitting???!!!

Well last week Dennis bought me "Knitting for Dummies". I have been trying since then to teach myself how to knit, and today I finally got it!!!! My stitches are perfect and aren't to tight or to loose. I bought a set of circular needles today and on my first try nailed it! And within the last half hour I learned how to do a cable stitch without using a cable needle. !!!YAY ME!!!
Now I just have to learn how to use the double pointed needles and then after I have made a gazillion swatches I can actually make something using a pattern....
I am so proud of myself.....my hands and fingers hurt like crazy but I don't care I am so happy!
