Chritmas Knitting

Some plain old slippers because the winter is cold and we can always have something warm on our feet.


Here are some hiking socks everyone can use them so I made up a few to give as gifts.


Here is a pair of fancy cable socks. it took me a few months to make this pair only because I was busy working on the other christmas gifts that really needed to be done.



Here is a update on the puppies these photos are of the girls one is sleeping. They are ready to go. I called the man who said that he wanted another one, well as usual they change they mind. So I have no buyers yet .

Photos of what I have been up too.

Here is a photo of the last litter of puppies, this is at 3 weeks old. They are now 5 weeks just about ready to go. I have one or maybe two gone I need to make a couple of calls first.

This is a pig I made from the "Pattern A Day Calender 2008". I want to get the 2009 calender as well, but I will have to wait and see.

Here is a hat the Thorpe Pattern, I put in a lining to make it warmer.

These are a pair of Monkey sock (a Cookie a pattern). These three are gifts for my daugther's friend from school. I still have more gifts made up I just need to take pictures and post them, but tomorrows another day. Have yourself a great day and God Bless All my readers.

Well I am back

Sorry to all you readers who might have missed me. I have been busy, all the puppies have found homes, for all you that are wondering about them. Now I did get another litter, this one was three, one boy and two girl they were born Nov. 11th , Remembance Day for us here in Canada. I will post pictures for you to see, as soon as I take some.

I also have been busy with the christmas knitting and yet to post in the Holiday Kal Cal all my pictures (I still need to take those as well).

Not much more happening besides all the snow we have been getting and it's still snowing now. I am hopping to get back into posting regular, That only if anyone out there has missed me. Please leave a commet and let me know. God Bless and talk to you soon. Have yourself a wonderful day.

No Photos to show

Just dropping in to let you all know that I haven't been knitting much. I did get the back and the front done in the Bamboo sweater that I am working on and a pair of plain socks for my hubby and son. I also did a hat for my daugther, but she is so fussy that I don't think that she will wear it. It has been made for a week now and it's cold out and she is still wearing her store bought hat. Her friend wants a hat and socks for christmas, so if I make the same just a different colour then she might wear it (I am Hopping). Kids are so fussy, but I guess I was that way too when I was younger.

All the seven puppies have found a new home. Now I am just waiting for the next litter, Missy is due on the 14th of Nov. Just a couple of weeks away and we will have new puppies, I love watching them grow.

Nothing Happening

Not much happening just doning the regular daily things. My puppies are just about ready to go they will be 6 weeks on the 20th. I have sure learned alot since having my first litter. I use to soften their food everyday and twice a day when they get bigger, but this time I did just a bit at 3 weeks and now I don't at all and they have their teeth coming in and eating the hard food. Makes it much easier for the people who buy them. Well here is a picture of them just a few days before they are ready to go.

Here is a picture of a doll that I wanted to make a dress for. So I made up a little knit in the round dress and not too bad of a fit. I just used some left over sock yarn.


Here is a little bear that I made up last night only took a couple of hours, now I need to put a face on him.

I am still working on the bamboo sweater. I did get the back finished and I cast on the front, it's half way done shouldn't be too long now. Then I can post pictures for you to see.
Have you self a great weekend and I hope to post sooner and not take so long in letting you know what I have been knitting. God Bless

Student Awards

Yes my children got an award for not missing any school, 0 days absent. They both got a check for $100. Here is my daugther going up to recieve her award.


This is my son getting his award and yes he is wearing glasses, something new we just got them last week. He was the top of his class last year and now he looks like a nerd to go with it. He's ok with it, at least now he can see the board at school.


One more thing, there was a draw among the student that didn't miss any days for $50. and well the list wasn't very big there was only two, yes just the two of them so one was bound to win and it was my daugther but they both agreed that who ever won they would share. They had it planned before they even knew that they were the only two in the draw. Great for them.


On to the puppies they are well and doing fine. Here is a picture of the first litter. They are 15 days old here in the picture.


Here is a picture of my daugther holding them with the mother. I will post more pictures as they get bigger. Enjoy your day and God Bless.

More Puppies

Not even a week and the second litter is born(Sept.14). Here is a picture of them at two days old that is this morning. All are doing fine and there are two girls and two boys.



Here is what I have been making for another swap, it's to be a sock monkey but I am not sure how to do one so I knitted one up instead, I hope she likes it. Now I just need to mail it off.
Hope you all have a great day and God Bless.

Puppies

This is what I have been up too making more flowers. It's for a swap I signed up on "Swap-bot.com", I sent it off on Monday. I hope she likes it. Now I am working on a monkey for another swap.



Yes you read it right I have a new litter. She had 5 but lost one the first day and the second one the second day. Now they are 4 days old and three of them are doing good. Here is a picture of the remaining three.

Current work in progress

Here is the picture of the socks I am working on, this is still the first sock. I feel that I am a slow knitter in the summer time only because there is so much work to be done outside.


Here is the Bubby that I made I am not sure if I will send this off to my swap partner or if I should make something else. Yes I am in another swap this one is amigurumi swap over on "SwapBot.com". This pattern I got from Knitty.


Here Is the picture of the little bag I felted.Its only 3 in tall. The heart is the button that I need to sew on. I think it's cute.



This Picture is of the sweater that I won from The Old Mill Knitting web site. I am still working on the back as you can see. This is taking me a long time to do because I need to consentrate the pattern is p2 k1 p2 k3 rep. I get mixed up if I don't.

Hello I am still here..

Just A few words to let you know I am still here and doing fine. Just a little busy with summer things, cutting grass, cutting fire wood and piling it.
Yes I am still working on the bamboo sweater but not much is getting done. I did start a pair of socks for the ravelry olympics but I didn't like the way they were turning out so I frogged them and started a new pair the "Spring Forward Socks" from Knitty. I did up another little felted bag and it's very small I will post pictures later for you to see.
I will let you go for today and post some pictures tomorrow for you to see my knitting, Have your self a great day and God Bless.

Bernat Sox

I finished my plain Bernat Sox yes I said plain. I used the pattern on the inside of the ball band, next pair I make I want to make some fancy socks. But I need to make socks for my son he only has two in the drawer for the winter and before long it will be here. I might as well get ready for it.



This pair is for my daugther only because she likes blue, one of her favorite colours. Now with the left over yarn I will make her a tissue cozy. Now I get to start a new project. Yay... what to start humm I was thinking of doing an afghan but thats a big project. Maybe I will do crochet blocks and do a few now and then and over the time I will get one done. I still need to finish my sweater, but I am working on it. God Bless and have yourself a great day..

I am Still Here

Ok I have been busy and not getting much knitting done but I did manage to get some things done. I did a Bogga Bag for my last swap and sent it off last week and she should be getting it soon so I will post a picture of it now.



Here is a picture of some tissue cosies I made.



Also my swap package made it safe to me I recieved it in the mail yesterday and here is the photo of it.




Thats all I have to share with all of you for this posting I hope that I won't take so long for the next posting. I do have a pair of socks on the needles and still working on the Bamboo sweater but not very often. Maybe I should take a picture of it so I can show you how much work is done on it. Have yourself a great day and God Bless.

More Flowers

Yes I made another flower and now my daugther wants a blue one, So I have started another one. This one I just finished is purple, what a lovely colour, pink and purples are my favorites.



If you are intersted in the pattern it is in the July 2008 issue of Creative Knitting. It is still on the stand until July 22 until the next issue comes out.

I finished a pair of socks and I am not sure if I have already told you but here is a picture of them.



Have yourself a great day and God Bless.

Critter Swap

Ok I joined yet another swap and my package arrived yesterday and now I am here to share all the goodies I got with you,well you can't really have them but you can look at everything I got. When she sent it she wrapped up all the goodies in the left over ball of yarn an I need to unwrap it to see what was inside. This is a piture of before I unwrapped it.



Now here is the picture of it all unwrapped for you to see.



There is Bunny buttons, sock needle protectors, stitch markers, row counter and a little keychain sweater.

I had fun doing this swap, I would do one again if one came up.
Have a good day and God Bless.

Flowers

Now the bunnies are eating all of my sisters flowers in her flower beds. So I wanted to make her a flower, but as usuall my husband likes it and wants to put it up on the tv stand. So now I need to make more flowers but they are cute. I wouldn't mind having a few on the tv stand, just to brighten up the place. I shall make blue and purple ones and what ever other colour I have in my stash.



What do you all think, leave a comment. God bless and have yourself a great day.

New toys

Wow the kids like my crocheting so they are looking up patterns for me to make, and this is one my son picked out a pikachu. He likes pokemon. His eyes are a little off but my son likes it.



Here is a picture I got of the bunny just outside my step.



I just needed to show you all a picture of the close up bunny. Enjoy your day and God Bless.

Bunnies

Well I finished a second bunny and I even went outside with the camera to see if I could find the rabbits, what do you know when I go looking for them I don't see them and every other time I went out without the camera there they are hopping around. I did manage to get a picture of a small rabbit out near the swing look close in the picture to see him.



He's right in the middle can you see him? Here is a picture of the finished bunnies.



I think they are cute, I think I will make more. Have yourself a great day and God Bless you.

Little Bunny

Here we have alot of rabbits running around out in the yard, yes wild ones. My sister lives next door to me and says I am always scaring the bunnies, so I decided to make one for here so she could have one that will never run away. But my hubby likes it so he claimed it now I need to make another one for her. Good thing I didn't tell her that I was making it for her she might be upset. No need to worry I can make up a new one tonight.



Maybe I will pick out different colours for hers. Enjoy Your day and God Bless.

Desserts

All kinds of desserts out there but with strawberries , short cake is the best heres what we have been enjoying for the past couple of days. The strawberries are just about all used up now. My son doesn't like them but he loves the blueberries that we bought, that basket is all gone too.



Hope this make you want to go out and pick some of your own berries. Enjoy your day and God Bless, have a good one.(Wow three days in a row for posting, Hope you enjoy it).

Socks

I finished the pair of socks that I was doing. Here they are just trying to use up bits of left over yarn and my husband likes the different colours anyway.



I forgot to let you all know about the birds no I didn't take pictures this time and besides we didn't get to see them leave the nest this time but there was four of them the were gone yesterday. I am wondering if there will be more.

I did up all my Jam wow what a job that was. I did 28 jars, now we shall be good for a while. I like to make my own jam only because I know whats in them and store bougth jam you can never be too sure whats in it. Have yourself a good day.

Not much Happening in my world

Just thought I would put in a little post to let all you readers know that I am still here and not much happening.

I do have socks on the needles and the lovely sweater that I won from old mill knitting just have the first ball done and my size calls for 6 balls so 5 more to go. I also have the swap package on my needles but I will have to wait until I send it of to my partner to let you all see that or even tell you what it is.

Now for the pictures of what I am up to this morning. Not much but a lot of hard work. We picked 8 baskets yesterday and now they are in the pot cooking for jam. We must have eating a whole basket by now everyone just loves strawberries. We also got a basket of wild blueberries just one little 3lt basket and my hubby like to eat them with cream. We want to get more but the lady we bought them from says there are not alot out there so we will get what we can. I would like to make blueberry spread if I can get enough.



Don't they look good. I still need to clean 3 more baskets. I will just put them into the freezer for the winter months when we can't get them fresh. We like to make milkshakes and yogurt drinks from them. Now I am off to jar the jam they are all done cooking, have yourself a great day and God Bless.

More monkeys

Well I finally finished the second monkey for my son he wanted one when I made the first one. My daugther got the first and here is a photo of the two of them the one on the left is the one I just finished and the one on the right is my daugthers.



I am in a little critter swap on ravelry so that is going to me my next project I have already started it and will be done it later today if all things go well. I won't post any pictures of it until I am done mailing it off and she receives it. I am also working on a pikachu for my son he likes them sort of things. I will post pictures when I am finished that as well.

I went back into walmart and bought some more of the yarn from my last post, it's such a good deal I can't say no. Now what to make with all of it. I would like to make a felted bag, and maybe try some of the felted slippers. This time I bought blues, greens and reds.
This is all for today, Have yourself a great day and knit something you like. God Bless.

The birds are back

Yes you read it right. The robin is back sitting in the nest, no signs of little ones yet but soon I am guessing. I checked it out, the robins have 2 to 3 nest a year. So I am going have more bird dropping on my step soon.

Enough of them on to my knitting. I got more yarn yes more yarn on sale this time at a $1 a ball for 100% wool. I plan on making a felted bag. Here is the photo of the yarn.



This is all I found when I was in the store, but I went back two days later and they must have put out more so me I bought more the second one is green and I got only 6 balls (thats all there was, if there was more I would have proably got more).

Ok I sent off the bag that I made for the swap I was telling you about and she recieved it yesterday and I am so glad that she likes it. Here is the picture I can now share with all of you. I didn't line it ( I still need to line the two I made for myself, I am not sure how but I will get to it) she is going to.

Fly away

All the little birds are gone. I did get to see them off and took some pictures for you to see. here is the first one, running away.




He is there in the middle if you can see him.
Here is one of the three of them left with the mother feeding them.




Here is the second one hideing from me in the bush,but I snaped a picture of him anyway.



The next picture I have is of the third one down on the porch just wondering which way to run.





Here is the last one wonder when did everyone go?




This is all I have for the birds, They didn't come back. Now I get to clean the porch when they left all the droppings. My son took a picture of that too but I don't think that you all need to see the mess that they left. This is all for this posting God bless and have yourself a wonderful day.
