Summer knitting

I finished my summer knitting project in the nick of time before school started. I made this rather fat necked unicorn for Lizzy. 

Knit Baby Blanket

While she was visiting, Mercy showed me how to cable knit. I was super excited to try it out and made a baby blanket for my friend. 

Summer Knitting Projects

Since I'm only taking one class this summer, I have some spare time in the evenings to knit again! (Forgive the excessive pictures - I take extra so I can give them away and still remember the project). First I made a sweet little bunny. 

My favorite part - her cute little panties and cotton tail!

Then I learned how to knit in the round with this cute little turtle. I've wanted to learn this for a while and this pattern was perfect because I love turtles!

Tonight I finished Ellie the Elephant. This pattern had the ears and feet lined with fabric and even though I hated sewing it on, I love how it turned out. The fabric has a vintage feel so she looks old. 

Now I'm starting a baby blanket for a friend and I'm going to try cable knitting. Mercy showed me while she was here, so hopefully I can get it! I hope I finish it before the baby has outgrown it!

More knitting

For the past few months I have been working on another pirate and a cute little piggy for the children of a sweet friend. Now they are on their way to Austin. And the UPS guy better not loose them after all that time!!

Knit Pirate Doll

I've been working on a knit pirate doll for my friend's son's room. It took awhile because I got busy with homework, but I finally finished him. I had him a bit overstuffed so he had to have liposuction. Now for a name... I got him out of this cute book. Better get back to work, I already have a request for another. 

Katie's Dolly

I finished Katie's knit dolly. I think she turned out pretty cute. Now, I've started one for a friend, but it's been forgotten for now as I concentrate on homework. 

Betty Bunny

Lizzy saw the bunny lovey I made and wanted me to make me one so I found another cute bunny pattern and just finished it for her. It is so adorable. I just love her little tail and panties!

Lizzy loves her! Of course, now that commits me to making one for Katie. We'll see how long that takes since I'm starting back to school now. 

Knitting

I got a knitting bug a couple of weeks ago and started a baby blanket for a friend and I actually finished it! Yay for big needles and a simple pattern!
