Another jacket on the way!

 

I have just got the good news that my grandson and his partner are having their first baby! It's early days yet so I have decided to make the lemon one.

I have already made my two granddaughters a green one each as green is their favourite colour.

I have found my bamboo circular needles using Patons 4 ply baby yarn. The blackberry stitch one is my favourite pattern...

When the girls find out the gender of their babies, I will make them a pink or blue one!

Mint loveliness

 

I finished the second jacket in mint green. They are identical, although the lighting makes one look darker...

Next I will knit two in white...

Taking shape

 

So the soft apple green second cardigan is taking shape. I think it will be finished over the weekend.

I know apple green is both my granddaughters' favourite colour so I know they will both be happy with their jacket.

Once again, this is my favourite baby jacket pattern in blackberry stitch. It's knitted in Patons 4 play using 3.25mm needles for the bands and 3.75mm for the body and sleeves. 

My new favourite needles are circular bamboo...

Another apple on the way!

 

This picture shows how my living room is today.. the wind is gently blowing my curtains as I sit knitting yet another Soft Apple baby jacket..

Another granddaughter is trying for a baby and she loves green too. In fact, I made a lovely Soft Apple green shawl for her already..

So I am extremely happy to be expecting more great-grandchildren.  Especially with them being close. It will be like having twins.

In fact, I have decided to make two of each colour for the new mummies! I will post a pic when it's finished.

Soft Green Apple loveliness

I am excited to hear that another great-grandchild is on the way and as it is a first child for my granddaughter, she has no jackets as yet.

Her favourite colour is green, so as requested I have started a blackberry cardigan in Patons 4ply colour Soft Green Apple. The bands are knitted on size 3.25mm  needles and the main body and sleeves are knitted on 3.50mm needles.

She already has my shawl I crocheted for her so I will major on doing little cardigans.

Nana's baby's pretty in pink!

 

My granddaughter sent me this picture of my youngest great-grandchild wearing my pink blackberry stitch cardigan.

What a difference from this one that was way too big for her back then.

It's so nice to see them on her...

Waiting to be gifted

 

So I  finished the final white shawl to be gifted to the youngest grandchildren.

It has a blackberry stitch centre and has a single chain border.

It is just waiting here to be gifted to their mother to hold for them until needed.

Tiny but trendy

My latest great-granddaughter rocks her newest and tiniest cardigan done in the blackberry stitch I love.

In spite of knitting the smallest size for her, it still swam on her. She's filled out nicely over the last few months, but she can still fit in to it.

My granddaughter, her mother, dresses her up with headpieces and bows. She's tiny but trendy!

Little boy blue.

 

I know this is a fuzzy picture but I love seeing clothes I made and this includes my favourite blackberry stitch jacket and booties.

It came with a matching beanie with pom pom but it was too warm to have it on Liam. He is now 23 years old pictured here with his great-grandmother.

This was knitted in Patons 4 ply baby wool in this lovely baby blue yarn. Happy memories..

For a handsome little boy!

 

This is the shawl and jacket I made for my friend's little grandson. He looks lovely and warm in them.

The jacket was my favourite knitted, blackberry stitch and the shawl was crocheted.

Jessica's shawl

 

I made this lovely lemon and white shawl for my granddaughter's future baby. I crocheted a large frill around the edge. Jess loves it!   

I am also working on a  blackberry stitch jacket to match but am waiting for more lemon yarn to arrive to complete it!

Lilac for my lovely!

 

I made this lilac and white blackberry stitch jacket for Ashleigh's baby girl. It looks nicer in real life than the photo here.

Again it's done in 3ply Patons baby yarn.

A bit of everything!

 

This little matinee jacket was crocheted in shell stitch up to the yoke. I then knitted the yoke and sleeves in stocking stitch.

I added some ribbon between the yoke and bottom. The booties were knitted in blackberry stitch.. It looked better in real life than the photo...

A shawl for Tay

 

In this shawl, I knitted the circular panels in blackberry stitch, and crocheted a long lacy border. A thin band of pink ribbon was inserted between the centre panels and border.

I made this in Patons 4 ply white baby yarn using a 3mm hook for the border.. It was a metre in diameter and very full...

Tay still has it in her treasure box...

Greatgranddaughter in pink

 

Baby's rocking my pink blackberry stitch cardigan. Knitted in 4ply Patons baby wool. Such a delight to see my work on her...

Please forgive me covering her face and her name, but it's not a great world these days..

To be continued..

 

Occasionally I run out of wool and so I often work on another project while I wait for my yarn to be delivered.

This was the case with my lemon and white cardigan for Jessica. Again, in Patons 4 ply baby wool in my favourite pattern, blackberry stitch. It looks great in two colours as well as solid...

In the picture is a white crochet shawl for her...
