As I was in the olde country when the baby shower and parties and all that good stuff happened, I thought it would be a nice jesture to whip out the old needles and work up a groovey outfit to keep the young 'un snuggly. Steering myself away from my usual choice of neon brights I went for a subtle black n white combo with a hint of grey and green for trims:
I hope to be rewarded with a snapshot or two of Master Charles sporting this outfit - and if I get my wish, I'll be sure to post the shots here.
In even older knitting news:
Here are some of my other recently-ish finished projects, now all safely sent to their new owners:
A stripey, chunky, brown beret for me old college mate, Jill. I haven't seen her in flippin' ages - probably because we are both a bit rubbish....
Next up are a pair of Knucks for Annabel's Dad who works as a horse masseur. It was a bit tricky getting all the letters of his business name onto only eight fingers but I was quite chuffed with the results!
Annabel's Mum got one of a series stripey beaded hats that I made from some beautifully soft Tilli Tomas stuff. (I'm still waiting for photos of Annabel and Shae wearing the ones I made for them last year - tut tut! Don't their mothers realize that I only knit them stuff so I can show them off on my blog?!?)
Like my nephew here. Look at that happy boy as he is forced to wear a hat his Aunty made for him and smile for the camera! Good boy. They'll be marmite-toast and a yogurt coming your way for that stella modelling job, (if you ask the grandparents, that is.)
Baby Sarah's Mum still hasn't received her package. Oooops, sorry.... I need to get it together before the kid turns 25! So Lisa, if you happen upon this blog by accident, I made a couple of things for your daughter and I have been meaning to get them to you, Thank goodness that you have so many other reliable friends besides me!! (Baby Sarah gets one of the aforementioned hats and when it finally arrives, will you take a photo of her wearing it - please??)
Marlene - I have resumed work on your cardigan. I was just past the armhole of the first front when I thought it looked a bit odd. I was using the wrong sized needles - arrrrrghhhhhh!!!!! I ripped it out and cast on again this afternoon. Sorry about the delay.....(and for being an idiot!)
After Christmas and the messy visa stuff and moving house and the new job, I still haven't really had the chance to have a decent look around Philly - but one thing's for sure - IT"S NOT NEW YORK!!!!!
I miss NYC and my friends and EVERYTHING!!!
One good thing about being outside of Manhattan is that I now live in a HUGE house and have a room soley for my stash!! Strangely enough, this is the only room I have yet to organize...... hmmmmmm... wonder why that is?

Much cuteness all round. I love your choice of colour for the cardi.
