I decided that C needed a sheep yoke neck cardigan to wear for her 1st birthday (along with a matching knitted dress and sheep booties). To me this is slightly insane b/c I have never done stranded work or followed a chart. I started a couple days ago and after a lot of help from the wonderful ladies at ravelry I am well on my way. I am really excited to be conquering a new knitting skill and can't wait to make my own charts to add designs into everything. So here I am expanding my skills and moving forward but yet today I realized I need to go backwards a bit. I goofed up the flower pattern in the cardigan by not reading the fine print on the next page after the chart so I have to rip out what I have done up to the top of the flowers and start over. That slightly stresses me out but at the same time it's not that bad because I understand what I am doing now so it will be a fast re-do. Woo hoo!! Sorry,that was all kind of boring huh?
I knitted up some baby legwarmers for C a few days ago and they came out cute. I wanted to make them a bit taller but that was all the yarn I had in that colorway but they are perfect for her. They are long enough for her now and will work great for the next baby. The woman that designed the pattern asked my permission to use this pic on her pattern page <3

Oh I LOVE your stitch markers! The sweater sounds great--and a little too complicated for me! Good work! The leg warmies (and chubby baby thighs) are great...and a little girl sleeping on the couch--all good stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Cute as always! I made my first Clapotis about a month ago, and as tedious as it was, I think it also really improved my knitting. I had to start it over so many times. but so happy now it's done!
So, when are we going to get together? You want to meet and knit one night this week?
That cardigan looks adorable! Colorwork is something that I haven't tried in my knitting, yet. I admire your jumping into it!
That cardigan looks scrumptious and those stitch counters are to-die-for (that's what they are aren't they? not just some cute earrings ;} ?)
Just stop with all that C cuteness... my goodness those thighs... Y-UM!
Come on over, I have something for you...
