Babies! Lots of Babies!

Oops! This was supposed to be on the "anyone working on a project?" thread.

I'm a lurker here to. I can't do half the things the regulars post and talk about but I enjoy checking this group out nonetheless.

Hallo Murielle

Mazal Tov ! with the Babies , with making items for babies ,,, I love making presents anyway and baby things are always so joyful .. Since it is summer here i rather knit with cotton , and embroider/ weave more . i made some Potholders , which were meant as presents and were well accepted by the intended lady. Am planning some new works as well .. mirjam

Hallo Linda Lee , Never mind what you make or don`t , we also need people who would enjoy the things we make !!!! As i tell people when i can`t get to the opening of their exhibition ,,, you also need people to come and look After the Opening !!!

Sp please don`t hesitate to sahre with us the `half`` you feel you can do. About the alf you feel you can`t do ??? are you sure ? there are lots of good helpers here !!!! mirjam

Welcome out of Lurksville!

I always feel so inspired by what others are doing. It spurs me on to try a little harder, work on a project a little harder.

Thank you, Mirjam! Babies are such blessings--always a joyful event.

I think I need to start keeping a craft-journal so I can keep track of what actually gets finished. It might keep me working on things, just to be able to see it completed in the journal. I know the group was talking about this last year some time and I thought it was such a great idea.

Pot-holders! What a great idea! I've got a pattern for crochet one's somewhere. I know I saw it when I was going through my books and files to find the patterns for the baby blankets.

I thought this year for the holidays I'd make little crochet angels or snowflakes: seasonal and simple; and I can work on them in waiting rooms, etc.

Heh, wouldn't be the first time someone posted to the wrong thread

Good on the baby blankets. I just finished a Baby Surprise jacket for Liz's (Liz from ABSK) soon-to-arrive granddaughter. I'm also working on another pair of socks (Wanida, from Cookie A's "Sock Innovation" book), a Girasole shawl in fingering weight yarn, and sweater #7 for the National Knit a Sweater a Month Dodecathon group on Ravelry. I also have my first Girasole waiting to be blocked, and I have a couple sweaters that only need to be seamed together, but as I hate seaming these may be waiting a very long time...

I am not so keen on making pot holders but they make good presents i can use leftovers of all kinds , Ps i always knit/crochet/weave a piece and than sew it onto a cloth of sorts [ also a leftover ] ,this gives it a good thickness , and people tend to use the cloth side for the pot , !!!!! mirjam

ps 2 , pot holders are great Swathces for trying out new patterns !!!

Hi Kim!

Wow, you're so industrious! What is a Girasole? Knitting a sweater a month! I can't even imagine that. What a sense of accomplishment you must have as you see them all lined up. Do you pick your own patterns or do they offer patterns--how does it work?

I'm like you, the seaming and the weaving of loose ends is my least favorite part of knitting, though, I do love to see what I've been working on all finished and pretty.

Did Liz go by a different name? My memory of the "old" ABSK days is waining. I do pop in from time to time and if I have something to say I post, otherwise I just lurk. Kind of like rcty. I think I'm getting old. ;-))

Mirjam,

That's a great idea. Though, sadly I have such a bad habit of not knitting swatches. That's probably why I have so many unfinished objects. I think you also suggested making a blanket out of the swatches, also a great idea.

Murielle

thank you ,,, i even made one year a Vest for daughter from various swatches !!! she wore it about 10 years . mirjam

Now that's one I would never have thought of, Mirjam. Another great idea!

who are you on Ravelry? i didn't find you by your name. i'm enigma, & there is a RCTY group on Rav, but no one uses it... lee

That looks like a really cool community. I'll have to go in and really check it out. I bookmarked it, for later.

Thanks, Murielle
