Sock yassir and chowder

So it has been a while since I have made a post. Yassir has finally arrived - September 3, 2007. We are adjusting. He is used to sleep ing until noon and then again in the afternoon. I get up early and want to sleep at night. He is of course awake and I am bitchy. Everyone seems to love him as much as I do. He starts english classes tomorrow. So that should be good. As for knitting I have knit about 10 pairs of Horcrux socks from Knitting as fast as I can - I love that pattern and have not found one to replace it that I even want to try

Well I am making some corn chower using this recipe and it looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!

take care
Marla

Elizabeth Zimmermamn quote I saw on group-mates blog

"Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn’t hurt the untroubled spirit either.... When I say properly practiced, I mean executed in a relaxed manner, without anxiety, strain, or tension, but with confidence, inventiveness, pleasure, and ultimate pride."

Elizabeth Zimmermann


Thank you Elizabeth for all you have taught me - where ever you are and where ever and with whom ever you are, I am sure you are sharing with patience and wit and I swear I never knit in the front and back of the stitch to increase as I truly want your blessings. :)

one toddler slipper sock finished

I have finished one little ankle slipper sock but they are not for donation well except to little GDD out of this very ugly wool that is sooooooooo soft. beigeish with these little pieces of fluff on them. I wonder if all those bit of fluff will wash out or end up in the dryer. I have no idea as to the content of this wool so I guess they maybe be barbie slippers if it is wool wool The ball, which was a rescue for a 2nd hand store is unwinding in a bizarre and messy aggravating way. I hope I can buy a ball winder soon. It would help a lot.

Magic 28 sock knitting webring

I have joined my first webring. It is called MAGIC 28. It is a webring created to inspire people to knit little socks to keep little feet warm. The idea is to use up scraps of wool - worsted weight using 28 stitches and 28 rows and maybe to aim at 28 pairs

Finished Object - Made with Love layette sweater and hat

I finished my Made with Love sweater and hat for Max (Namjel's yet to be born baby boy)

Details of

seed stitch hearts on the

<-back and the front->

I put 5 hearts of Chart 2 around the bottom. There is 103 stitches around 4 stitches for each button band leaving 95. This allows you to work 5 stitches between each heart (chart of 13 stitches)as well as 5 before and after each button band. I believe the sweater I made will fit an 24 month old easily. I did 6 buttons. I love how this turned out. It is actually a denim colour although it look like it has a bit of a purple tint. I will likely make this pattern again for my granddaughter although she is a big 2 year old. I may need to adjust a bit.

Preemie angel shell hat

I made the preemie shell hat pattern with a 3.00 mm hook- yes TOO small for baby. She is 4 lbs and the hat made with 3.50 mm hook fits just nice. Her she is moleling and l she looks a little concerned about wearing it - all preemies have a concerned wise look. I think she is smiling though

For me this hat turned out with a circumference of 11 inches which should fit a 4 lb baby

Preemie Shell Sweater Set Finished

I finished the little sweater set for Angelina.

It turned out so cute. I hope Angelina's mom likes it and will use it one her. I will post the pattern for the hat this afternoon.

Angel Shell Sweater for Angelina

My dear GD has a new little sister. She was born Mar 25 2007 at just 4.1 lbs ( I think) I have crochetted a couple little booties and a couple hats. I forgot to get pics of them but I have just finished the little sweater. I love it. It is 12.5 inches from wrist to wrist. The pattern I used was the Preemie Angel Shell Sweater. I have yet to add the little flower. I have created a little shell edged hat to go with it. I will post the pattern tomorrow. and maybe some booties
