What's everybody 'working' on?

Sep 22, 2006 41 Replies

I am a little late in chiming in but I have been knitting on airplanes the last couple of weeks as I have been running around. (helping with grandkids and then off to a high school reunion). I finally finished my September squares for Jean Weaver on the last flight. Otherwise I have the following in progress: the lady bug Dale Baby Ull sweater which is about to the part where I have to cut into the steeks to insert the sleeves, a lilac baby cardigan(in the sewing up and putting on buttons stage) , a tie front shrug for DGD#2, a vest for Afghans for Afghans, and a fuzzy cardigan for DGD#3. I have a number of them waiting in the wings for me to finish off with these. I have finished a green hooded baby cardigan and need to get it sent off before the baby gets too big (It is 6 mos. size but you know how fast they grow).

Welcome to new person who chimed in during this discussion - hope to see more of you. We are a friendly bunch and glad to see new folks jump in and not just lurk.

Here is my favorite pattern for longies:

There aren't any sizes - you take the baby's measurements and your gauge and figure out the # of stitches you need. I've made 5 pair from this pattern so far and love them! I made a couple change though - including adding holes for a drawstring waist and adding some extra stitches at the crotch.Good luck!
