Vertical Stripes Galore!

Its been so long!! I am obviously a very erratic blogger. Seems like I will go months with nothing to write about and then BAM! I have a million! I have had a hard couple of months, but its getting better : )

Lately I have been doing a lot of loom knitting, the plan being that my MIL is going to try to sell some at the flea market. So whatever feedback I get will be much appreciated, even if you have some ideas I will gladly accept!





This personally is my favorite. I made a garter stitch brim with the standard e-wrap for the rest of it. The bow was my first, but I think it turned out pretty good.




I wish that I had a baby or a toddler with a small head
model these. My sons head is way too big!




As you can tell I love the pink/green combination








It seems like pink and brown are very popular lately.


I will have lots more to come. Different, styles and colors!


ps. ignore the date/time stamp, I took these pictures today.



Revelation 3:20

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,
I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

So I have something else to show you! I made this a week or two ago and I am really proud of it because it is for my niece, Brinna, who is 7 months old. I don't have a picture of her wearing it, so I had to have a model, who better to model it than my two year old son Alex, and if I do say so myself he looks really cute in pink : )

I am really in love with this one because it is my very first hat in garter stitch, actually its my first in purl and knit stitch so the entire thing is basically a first : ) For those who don't know what I am speaking of, the garter stitch is a combination of knit stitch and purl stitch. One row of knit stitch's and then one row of purl stitch's. You have to keep track of them and since this is my first I did have a lot of trouble. As you can see there are two lines where I did the wrong stitch, at first I was kinda aggravated especially after I put in two days worth of work into it, Yes it takes FOREVER to do these stitches! Loom knitters out there who know there are much more complicated stitches, have mercy on me, a beginner! (pardon the biblical reference, no comparison intended!) Anyways, back to the point, the two lines actually ended up in the perfect place, so it looks like I intended for it to be that way. (P.s anyone loom knitters that can offer advice, I will graciously accept!)

I am really in love with this hat!!!

The flower that I just had to add!! I love flowers, reminds me of Spring.

My adorable baby Alex modeling his cousins hat! His heads a lot bigger than hers, so by my estimate it will fit her perfectly!

Hope everyone has a great day and God bless!

This is a song that is really blessing me, I hope that it blesses you too!
