Now that the shower is over, I have a chance to relax and knit without a deadline. I've got a half finished Anouk on the needles and I just started another baby sweater. I think I like baby knitting. Small, sweet and for some reason the FO's make me giggle.
My head feels a lot lighter, the stress of party planning is gone. Just the thought of 60+ guests squeezed into the house in unseasonably warm October weather made my stress levels rise uncontrollably. I also got my hair cut this past weekend...
TWELVE inches to Locks of Love...it's going to take a while getting used to this short hair. Although it's not as bad as my last donation, that was seventeen inches...

Your sister's baby will be the best dressed one wherever she goes! The booties, shrug and jacket are gorgeous.
That's a wonderful thing to do. Your hair looks lovely!
What beautiful baby knits! Both sweaters came out great and the booties are just adorable!
Beautiful baby knits! I love them!
I wish I had thought about Locks of Love BEFORE I made my big cut a few weeks ago. When I went in, I had not intended to go as short as I did - and it ended up being about 11 or 12 inches off... Your new haircut looks great! and it will take some getting used to - mine sure has!
OMG, the knits are too die for!! Oh, and your hair looks fabulous, absolutely.

Those are gorgeous baby knits. I particularly like Trellis -- that color is so lush and perfect for the pattern. Plus, it's an unusual color for a baby, though one that a baby will look lovely in.
And congrats on the LoL donation. I did that a year ago and it was well worth it.
All of your baby knits are so sweet! I know your sister appreciated all of the hand knit items.
Your hair looks great!
What wonderful shower gifts, I bet the recipients were thrilled!
And your hair looks great!
Your sister is so lucky! Those are amazing shower gifts! Beautiful work!
Your hair look great!

Oh, your sister's baby is the lucky one, that's for sure - those little baby knits are ever so cute!
And I love your hair, you look fantastic with it!
Those are most adorable baby knits! I love the cabled sweater! And the booties are so cute.
Good thing hair grows for free, you'll have your mane back soon! ;o)
Hey:)
I cast on for Trellis because yours is so pretty. Can you tell me your method for doing a left twist. When I do it as this pattern instructs, I end up with two stitches on my needle. I switched to EZ's left twist which is much easier for me, but will it look the same?

Beautiful, all of them! Your new haircut looks really great too. :-)
The shorter hair looks really fresh! And those baby knits are adorable, I have a weakness for the bootees.
Beautiful beautiful heirloom baby items. Your sister should be thrilled.
Your hair must grow fast - looks very nice.
I love all of your knitting could
you please tell me how to get the
patterns for the ballet booties and
the shrug.
thank you myruby
