Big Pink Cupcake

I’m a bit late posting this. As you can tell by the picture, Kate has pretty well worn them by now.

These knitted slippers come from a pattern in Knitting Pretty by Kris Percival and are my (Brian) first finished project that isn’t a square.
I used Lion’s Brand: Wool-Ease Chunky yarn and got both slippers out of one skein with plenty left over.

our friend’s baby girl Madison was runner up for the Cute Baby Photo contest and we were so excited to make her all kinds of things.

First, the knitted baby booties use the same pattern as the tan ones we made for our neighbors baby. I used a different technique on the white trim and I think they came out way better. I used a double strand for the white and used a kind of improvised lazy-daisy stitch on it.

Then I made this great bottle cozie that she loves. It was super easy to knit. I used Sugar and Cream cotton.

I made this Ham Sandwich out of a pattern in “Jean Greenhowe’s Jiffyknits.”

    

Should make a great high-fiber lunch, har har har.

I recently knit the cutest booties for my neighbor who is having a baby.

Are these flippin cute or what?

They are super easy to knit and super fast. Not a very good picture, but in “real” life they look great.

Since I’m still kind of playing catch up I thought I would show what I made for my one skein secret pal Abigail. I wasn’t quite sure what to make for the August surprise knit…and then I thought everyone needs a supercute bag!

I used a pattern called Twitterpated. I used one skein of Fantasy Naturale by Plymouth.
Here is the inside…

It is a little scary knitting for someone you don’t know, especially when they are a very talented knitter

I knit this blanket for a friend who recently had a baby girl. This blanket is super soft thanks to Berrocco Plush. The edging is Gedifra Techno Hair. I have been told that baby M’s dad wants a blanket like this for himself!

Today was Roo’s first birthday! So, I knitted her a birthday cupcake.

I used the pattern from One Skein by Leigh Radford. This book by the way is a must have. All the projects can be made with only a single skein of yarn.
