Hey Grandma...here's your late Christmas present. Didn't it turn out nicely? Nora is modelling for me. The pattern is from here if you're on ravelry. The yarn is Misti Alpaca, handpainted sock yarn, color Blood Lines.  It's sooo soft.  Okay, now I want one for myself.

Anouk for the nonce

This pattern was relatively easy, but as I get to knit for about 5 minutes a day....I am not the most prolific of knitters.  Here is the result of the last many weeks of knitting.   It is a free pattern from Knitty. 

6 months of chubby deliciousness

I have had a very long blogging hiatus....a combination of many household goings-on :   trees falling on houses,trips and uncooperative computers....but WE'RE BACK! 

Here's Bridie...6 months this week.  She's wearing a dress knit by mommy that I started when she was brand new.  It took me this long to finish it.  It's called a Mabel dress and comes from here.  You use fingering weight yarn and teensey weensey needles.  I think I will need to be a little more realistic in the future about how much time I REALLY have to knit. 

Many Blessings

As we all count the days down, waiting for the arrival of our newest baby...everyone is pitching in to help out with "mommy's nesting".  My biggest girl, dd9 just finished her first knitting project.   It's a present for "new baby".  She's quite proud...and I think she deserves to be.  There are so many blessings rolled up with the welcoming of each new miracle.
