Honey Cowl

 I finished another cowl just in time for this chilly weather.  It is a gift for a very good friend of mine.  I know she will love the color!  The pattern is the honey cowl by Madelinetosh.  The yarn I used was Madelinetosh worsted in light denim.  I casted on 160 stitches and used a size 10 needle.  It turned out just right and I used the whole skein.  I just love this yarn!

Hope you are all staying warm this winter, wait it's not even officially winter yet:)

Quilted Pillow

I love this new pillow I made for my couch.  Lately I have been trying to use up some of my scrap fabrics and put them to good use.  It measures 18''x 18''.  I see more of these in the future!  Hope you all are having a nice lazy Saturday:)

Fall in the Woods

 I am just loving fall here in the Pacific Northwest.  The leaves are mostly done falling and there has been lots of knitting going on in my house.  My favorite new finished project is my half twist cowl.  I found the pattern for free on Ravelry.  The yarn is Madelinetosh worsted merino in fig, I just love this yarn.  It has just the right hints of purple mixed in the brown and it is super soft.

 We haven't had much rain lately, so we get to spend plenty of hours out in the yard.  We are hoping for some more rain in future.

 I have already started knitting a new scarf in Madelinetosh denim.  This time I am trying the honey cowl pattern, which I also found on Ravelry.  This will be a gift for a special friend.

Home Sweet Home Embroidery

I finished this embroidery last week.  Now I just need to find the perfect frame for it.  It measures about 15'' x 12''.  The fabric is yarn dyed linen in denim.  I love the little flower and leaf wreath surrounding the home.

I am 24 weeks now and the belly is getting big!

More Goodies for my Baby Boy!

I just love sewing for my baby boy.  I made him three pairs of Anna Maria Horner's Quick Change Trousers.  The first two pairs are size 3-6 months.  The third pair is 6-9 months, which was going to be a gift for my nephew who is 7 months, but they looked too small, so I am going to make him the 12-18 month size.  I love how you can roll up the bottoms and that they are reversible.  

Thanks for looking! Amanda

Knitting for my Baby Boy!

Last week we found out we are having another baby boy!  I am so excited to be able to make lots of goodies for him.  I already knitted him a little sweater and two pairs of socks.  I so can't wait to snuggle him!!

 The sweater is made from Malabrigo Rios yarn in Sunset with vintage buttons.  The pattern is from More Last Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson.

The socks pattern is from the same book.  The yarn for the green pair are Malabrigo Rios and the gray yarn is Blue Sky Alpacas Techno.  Now onto sewing him some little outfits:)

Thanks for looking! Amanda

Knit Toe-up Socks

 I finished these knit socks just in time for the cold weather.  They took me several months to complete.  The pattern is from the book More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson.  They are little gift I made for myself:)  I used Anzula Squishy in Seaside, which has a little bit of cashmere mixed in!

I can't wait to make more knit socks!

Thanks for looking~~~~~
