Still Knitting

For the girls who turned four! this past Autumn. 

One sweater that twirls,


one based on a favorite book.




A few things for me,

The Knights who Knit: a mystery knit-along.
Cotton Linen blend. Was a fun project to work on. 

one can never have too many wool socks on these cold days. 

A summery linen shawl for what was to be an Italy trip. 
Maybe someday.


 A blanket for our newest grandchild Henry. {#11!},


 and the current work in progress



A soon to be cardigan. 

Handspun yarn from mighty Mac, one of my sheep. Loving how this is working up despite a lumpy, bumpy inconsistent spinning job. Maybe I will pretend I planned it that way? 

 

Take Care and Be Well,

Joan

What wonderful things you make with two sticks and a bit of spun wool! All your knitted lovelies are well made, but my favorite has to be the little lady bug from the favorite book! Can you share the title? :)

Your hand knit creations are absolutely stunning! Each one so different from the other. I like the natural earthy look of what you call "lumpy, bumpy spinning". Gosh, I am amazed at what you are able to do with needles and yarn.
Congratulations on your growing family !
