Same. Same.

So this weekend my grandaughter came for a visit. She is currently 33 weeks pregnant and we were discussing her preparations for the baby.

She told me she has been looking for a pink cardigan to bring her baby home in. So I offered to make her one. I am repeating this one I made for her cousin's baby.  

I made another one as well, but she prefers pink and I can only manage this last one for the moment.

My hands are hurting and I have limited spoons due to fibromyalgia, so this last one will be fully crocheted. It doesn't seem to hurt them as much as knitting at the moment.

Although the new one will be fully crocheted, it will fairly similar... very alike. Same. Same.

Keeping my promises!

 

So today I finished the mint green beanie to match Sandra's mint green shawl and cardigan. I have posted it to show you, as promised.

I noticed in beanies advertised on Temu that the pom poms are larger than what I used to do in the past. So I made it a little larger. I sent this pic to Sandra and she likes it. I am glad...

So it's forward to the wine red baby blackberry stitch baby cardigan for Jessica's baby. I plan to do some this evening..

Then I will be doing another blue cardigan for Liam's baby boy. Probably my favourite pattern again!

It's on the way!

 

So, as promised to my granddaughter, Jess, I have started my red layette for her coming baby.

It is my favourite pattern, done in blackberry stitch. The yarn is bamboo and I love the soft feel. It feels like butter! 

Jess has requested a matching beanie with pom pom and a pair of booties, all of which I have done before.

To complete the layette, I will making my favourite baby shawl in the same colour.

It feels good to actually be knitting again after a few months of empty hands... now the new project is on its' way!

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.

My latest projects

I have just finished another baby blue shawl and half-way through this dusky rose one.

I am planning on giving the appropriate coloured shawl to my friend's daughter but it is too early to know which one to gift yet.

These were done in my favourite baby blanket pattern in 8ply acrylic yarn using a 3.5mm hook

What I am working on now

 

Currently I am crocheting a mint green and white shawl for Gregory. It is 38 inches wide and will be 30 inches long when finished. Again, it is in acrylic 8 ply yarn on a size 3.5mm hook.

I will post a picture of it when I have finished...
