#42 red socks for Logan

Logan asked me for red socks on Sunday, so here they are. The bottom sock has already been worn around the yard with no shoes as when I tried it on him, he could not bring himself to take it off again :0) I washed it and dried it and he wore it to bed ( I slipped it off for a quick picture) when he wakes in the morning he will have 2 :0)

Lion Brand Natures choice organic cotton in Strawberry and walnut colours :0)

#41 a little dress

This is a little dress I am working on, no pattern just making it up as I go along to suit the yarn.It is in my last 2 balls of Lion brand organic cotton-Just a pleasure to knit with in every way, supersoft, fast, and lovely colours as well, These are strawberry and walnut; I hope to finish this one tonight :0)

#40 peachy socks

These little socks are from a pattern called jelly bean baby socks on the spud & chloe blog and written by Susan B Anderson of itty bitty knits fame

they turned out so sweet, although I made them an inch shorter as I wanted them to fit a newborn to match the little peasch soaker I had already made :0)

I have caught up on all my projects from this year now and hopefully can stay that way :0)

#37 A cardi #38 A hat & #39 A vest

i have been playing around making up my own patterns instead of just following other peoples work, okay I was in bed unable to stand to look at the computer or a book and my hands were desperate to knit and this is what I came up with :0)

I had 4 skeins of this gorgeous soft lion branfd oraginc cotton but only 1 of each colour, so this is what I came up with for the pistachio and almond colours :0)

I wish I had more I could just knit this yarn for days at a time it is so soft, not like knitting cotton at all!

Oh and the little buttons are so sweet, The say i love you on them and they are made of wood :0)

I needed something very simple-LOL

#19 English Garden soaker

How sweet is this little one, it's the same make up as the vanilla creme but I used a smaple I received in my ewe beaut sample box called English garden from hawthorne cottages yarn and it is english leceister and corriedale, The little heart embellishments came about as I just couldn't bear to waste any of the little sample :0)

#18 Vanilla creme

There is something so precious about simple lines and plain cream for a new baby, this is one I made up whilst sick in bed unable to read or look at the computer

#17 Dragon nundle

I used the last bits of the greens from the green dragon soaker for trim on this soaker, I am trying to knit through complete balls for a 100 ball challenge this year in a group I belong too, I am aiming a bit higher though as I am going so well, maybe 300 complete balls?

#16 Peach dragon

I was on a bit of a soaker kick as I was pretty sick and couldn't concentrate on much else other than soakers and then hats. The trim for these was out of a sampler box and I think it looks great :0)

#15 green dragon

This is so tiny, I don't usually use black in baby knitting but I think it works with these greens :0)
