#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)

I finished and love how it turned out :0)

Voila, it's finished and i love it :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)
