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...

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

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.

Personalised art

 When my granddaughter was born, I did a personalised picture which was framed. 

I designed it on Microsoft Publish It using a photo of her, printed the finished picture with high gloss photo paper.

At almost 13, she still has it among her other treasures, one being the little cuddle blanket I made her.

Creativity comes in all mediums.

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!

Another new design in my shawls

 

Currently, I am crocheting a shawl in blue, pink and white. I haven't done a multicoloured one in these colours before, so I thought it would be fun to do it..

I will probably make 2 of them because they are still gender neutral...

My joy is complete when my new wools are delivered...
