About the only thing I knitted recently was a baby sweater for a newborn great-niece and I was in such a hurry to get it to her mother, I didn't get any pictures of it. But trust me, it was really cute!! ;-) LOL!

I did find this picture though. A baby blanket I made for a friend last fall. Most every thing else I've done recently has been sewing projects. Since I can't post those on here, I guess this one will have to do for my "projects"!!

But just so you know -- I made three vintage pillow case dresses, a princess dress for Halloween last year, plus a Hersey's Kiss costume (that was so-o-o cute!) and I'm making three Easter dresses now! Oh, and I do have a NY scarf and hat for my grandson on my needles. I've had to put those to the side for the time being. So see, I haven't been entirely idle!!! LOL

Looks like your kitty cat is considering claiming your handywork for a bed!

Thanks, Teeple!

Oh yes, Tammy! He would have loved to lie down on it!

Oh yes, Tammy! He would have loved to lie down on it!

I can understand his thinking... after all, he is a cat. In his mind the whole world revolves around him, so anything you do must be solely for his benefit, right?

Hi Myra! Thanks for showing us Charlie's blanket. It's so cute!
Did you use a pattern or make up your own design? Can you share please what the pattern name is and where you found it? It's such a unique design and I love things that aren't the ordinary design. This looks very fun to try. Thanks.
Carol L.

I must have missed the sweater pattern you knit for a newborn. I have my first great-granddaughter that I would love to knit a tiny sweater for her, PLEASE? Kay at e-mail address: [email protected] Thanks

The blanket is very nice.

I am envious that you sew as well. I have done quilts and really enjoy them. I have never had much luck with clothing.

SEA: I'm just the opposite! Have never quilted - although I really want to do some one of these days. I've sewn forever. Made my own clothes and my daughters, too, most of the time. I even tried a few western shirts for my husband and boys, but never did really master it. They aren't as much fun!! Myra

Terri: It's on it's way to you by e-mail. It's a pdf. Have fun! Myra

 

[texgal55]

Carol: I'm more than happy to share the pattern! It's a Caron pattern, but I couldn't find it on their website anymore. I just googled "accra tri-colored baby blanket" and it popped up. It's in pdf form. I can e-mail it to you if you'd rather, or if you have trouble finding it on the Internet. You'll notice that I made a change. Instead of cross-stitching the stars, etc. I crocheted hearts and sewed them on instead. Best, Myra

Hi Kay: I didn't get to post a picture of the sweater because I was in such a hurry to get it to her mother, I forgot to take one!! I find I do that a lot!!
The pattern is a bought pattern so I can't share it on here, but I have posted a picture of it. You can find the pattern at http://www.e-patternscentral.com in their knitting section under "Buttercup Baby Set" and it's $4.29. It was a lot of fun to make. I'd never made picots like this before and it was neat to do them! Have fun! Myra

 

[texgal55]

Thank you ladies, for all you nice comments and for asking for the pattern!! I love showing off!! LOL And it really, really warms my heart to have some appreciate something I've made. You're a great bunch!! Hugs to all! Myra
