Talk about a need for color!!! I really like how this whole set turned out. It's for Ava's baptisim. I know my daughter will buy a dress so this can be the accessories. I need a bonnet, but can't find one to match everything and I am no where near good enough to even think about designing one on my own. Maybe in time for the next grandchild!

WOW. This KAL really tried my patience. We learned a new stitch as is the case with all mid month KALs...the dreaded p2tbl. I viewed the video a billion times, and visited the frog pond about that many times! I could get the concept of the stitch, but couldn't always get both stitches together. I finally got it. It looks good. Would I do it again? NO!
Until next time....

This is the KAL I did with MonthlyDishclothes, a group on yahoo. It was the first KAL of the month. I like the pattern but wished I would have used a lighter color. I sure went from on extreme to the other this month, didn't I? I used the cotton I won in a Bingo game from another group. I don't know what it is as the band was removed, but it was easy to work with and doesn't feel as stiff as the cotton I normally use. I think this one will go to my Grandma when I pick her up for an overnight visit in a week or so. She will like it as she is my biggest fan when it comes to my crafting.

This is a KAL I did with Love2Knit_dishclothes on yahoo groups. I really needed something bright and cheery after all the snow and wintery weather that just would not leave. Bright I got and then some!

I know it has been along time since I posted to my blog but I have been busy. I've knitted this baby sweater which is the first wearable thing I've ever done. It is called the 5 hour baby sweater. It is supposed to take 5 hours to complete from cast on to cast off. Yeah right. 5 hours for anyone but me. It took me two weeks of knitting every night after work. Oh well. I like the way it turned out. The new grandbaby isn't due for a while yet so it's done in time.
Until next time (which I promise will be soon)
