Two more onsies! I love when he wears these.

'Modeling" the onesie with cars and trucks. This one has the shoulders made correctly!

I love the fit of this onesie! I've already cut out 2 more. Perfection would be if the legs were slightly longer, but I'm no pattern drafter. Do notice that the lapped sleeve is backwards- facing to the back instead of front. Hopefully I won't do that again. Only 3 pattern pieces and easier to make than I thought. It is a must to clip notches to line everything up. Here's the pattern: http://childrensfashionworkshop.squarespace.com/rts-patterns/

A lapped sleeve onsie. Boy clothes are getting more fun. I just need to get better at making them.

A knitted washcloth. This is the chinese waves pattern. I like the bumps for scrubby-ness. I really like this cotton yarn, but can't think of what to make with it because of the way the color blocks. Feel free to offer suggestions.

Something different! A jumper for a little boy. The chick print is leftover from a dress and hat set I made about 7 yrs ago for Abigail.

Another 'changing pad'. These are fast and easy! I think we have enough now.

My photography does not show off this sparklie, shimmery yarn well enough. A woman I knit with made this hat and it was so beautiful, I had to make one too! Her petal details were much better than mine, but those petals are tricky to sew down. It may be easier to do mosaic knitting or intarsia for them. Overall, it is cute and I am happy with it! If we don't have a use for it, paired with some booties, it will make a sweet gift.

Such a fun print! I added the pocket to the front, made from the same fabric as the bodice lining. However, I did not check with the diva before adding the pocket, because she says she can't reach it properly to put things into it, she won't wear it. Maybe in time...
We are all Dolphins fans here! Not a newborn size, slightly larger so it will fit when football season is here. This was fun to make, from one of those amazing "One Skein Wonders" books that I drool over! Made from some lovely soft cotton yarn with a slight shine.

Yay! Another item out of the 'unfinished' bin! Originally cut for Abigail, but she has outgrown it. Luckily, we have another little girl around here- unluckily, she doesn't like skirts as much as dresses.
Another pair of sweet soft girlie sized panties. I have just one more pair of these to finish, but the monkeys are by far my favorites!

A couple of sweet baby gowns. One pink elephants and one monkeys. They are fast and easy to put together, I just was unsure of where to place the snaps. Each time, I like putting the baby in something I've made early on- besides diapers!

I've seen the 'feather and fan' pattern, but I'm glad I finally found it on a scale I could use. A sweet baby hat made from some wonderful natural cotton. I actually crochet the bottom edge and ties. My crochet skills are embarrassing at best, but I am pleased with how this turned out. I have been eyeing yarn for baby hats like crazy. I have 2 more half done even.
Must finish within the next 2 weeks!! I am trying to force myself to complete a couple of things each day from my undone list. So far, so good!

2 new panties. As it turns out, they are faster to make than to run through a wash load. Or, next time, I will wait to give them to the child until I have all the pairs made.

While in Denver, we found the cutest yarn shop! Unfortunately, it was going out of business due to health issues. What a loss for that community! However, I did find a few single skeins of some gorgeous cotton! The picture does not show the luscious softness and subtle color variegation. Since it was only one skein, I knitted this blanket up 2 times in a rectangle shape before trying this third attempt at a square. It is small, but I will use it happily in our warm climate. Now, what to do with the same yarn in pink?

Hard to see, but these are only finished when the bunny tag is sewn to the back. Little girls love mommy made stuff- for now. She liked picking out the fabric too!

Another dozen wipes. Most of these have flannel on one side, sherpa on the other. I think I'm up to 60 wipes. That should be enough for a long time.

A pretty stack of purple happiness! There are 6 washcloths here. One side snuggly flannel and the other side is soft purple velour. The flannel was an exciting gift from a friend, so I used a bit of it to make a small gift for someone else.

8"x8" wipes. The green ones are the pretty dyed sherpa that I love. Other side, flannel. Another dozen.
