Sleepy time girl

Antea outgrew her sleepsack. I really liked this one so I copied it and made a larger version. There is a lot of room for her to grow now!
We got some beautiful fabric at Quilter's Corner. The fabric motif was upside down on the shoulder straps so I embroidered a little bird right side up to lull Antea to sleep. She always points at it when we are getting her ready for bed.

Liberty!

When I saw this Liberty Wool yarn I immediately wanted to make a new jumper for Antea. It was very quick - especially because I got some Addi Turbos to knit it with :) - and I am very happy with the result. The shape was inspired by a free Lopapeysa pattern. I hope to eventually knit the actual one...

Yellow jumper

Just finished last night. Got a lot of compliments today. (gosh! I have to get a proper camera!)

everything old...

 When Antea was born she was really tiny. I knitted these hats for her and they were too small - well this year they fit! The white one is wool and was inspired by Purlbee's Heirloom Hat. The aviator grey one is DK Alpaca and was a trial and error design.

and matching mittens.

 

Autumn is here. This year it really has been stunning. I have finished knitting mittens for Antea on the day Purlbee had posted these ones. Must be the season!

Socks!!

All done.

From flower to yarn

We bought some flowers that had these plastic nets protecting the crowns. I have been using them to keep the yarn together while I work or in storage.
Now that I figured out a system that works for making socks, I am loving this Koigu yarn to make a pair for Antea. I am using a combination of the KNIT Freedom pattern (for casting on) and Carol Feller's Japanese short-row method (for turning the heel). I feel I am really getting the hang of this and want to make tons of socks. I think I will make them less pointy the next time though...
