Henry's blankie

There are people who love knitting lacy stuff and I'm not one of them. This blanket, when finished, is going to be a true labor of love. I've had to rip it out about six times because I keep messing up the eyelet rows.

This afternoon it came to me that I should put markers where the eyelet stiches go. Duh! So I'll do that soon. Yep.

Bee and duck shoes

In my knitting-for-babies-only mode, I knitted these cute booties. The duck shoes are now proudly worn by my little buddy Gavin, and the bee shoes belong to our good family friend's new baby, Levi.

So cute I can hardly stand it, and neither can you.

 

Go Cougs

Here's a sweater and hat set that's for my nephew, Henry, who's still cooking and due in October. I went to WSU, as did my brother, and my dad coached football there in the 70s, so we've got a bit of school pride.

My mom wanted me to knit this for Henry's "going home" outfit, but the gauge didn't work out--in fact, I think the hat is borderline adult size. But I'm so loving the Rowan wool-cotton! I wanted to use it to make a sweater for myself, but it's too pricy.

Anyway, Go Cougs!!
