I just finished this precious set for my brother’s new granddaughter. I just love this set because the colors are so ‘happy!’ I can’t wait to be able to make this again…..hopefully one day for my own granddaughter! The set is a size 6-12 months, with the booties measuring ~4 inches and the headband ~17 inches. This is off in the mail this weekend, to of all places…..North Carolina. Let’s hope and pray that my family and the folks in that region bode well with the approaching hurricane.

I finished the little girl purse to match the Flower Cardigan! It’s crocheted, unlike the sweater that’s knitted and measures 5″ x 5.5″. I was inspired by this purse design that I found on Etsy, and so I looked for a stitch to use in one of my crochet books. I knit the flower and sewed it on top of the purse. It’s so cute!!

I had a wonderful time at my Family Reunion and wanted to say “hello” to all who visit my blog! To view my finished projects, click on the link “My Project Gallery” on the upper right margin of this page. Thanks, and hope to see you all at the next reunion!

Ta da!! Here is the “Meandering Vines Shawl!” After blocking, it is so beautiful. This shawl is huge, it measures 78″ x 24.” I love the yarn, it holds it’s shape and drapes very nice. I will gift this to my niece and hopes she likes it.

Yes!!!!! I FINALLY got the “Meandering Vines Shawl” by Susanna IC in the blocking stage! OMG, I started this project for my niece on August 22, 2009! And to my shame, I finished knitting it ages ago, but was too haunted by the thought of blocking it! I had visions that the process would take hours; that I wouldn’t have enough pins; that I wouldn’t have adequate space to dry it; and the list went on and on!

My poor niece has been waiting and waiting……and so, I texted her this photo and she flipped when she saw it! So…stay tuned for the final photo reveal when the drying is complete.

Whew! I have actually finished a knitting project! I know, I can’t believe it either! I have been so wonderfully distracted with my grandson, so I have a good excuse. So. This is the second “Flower Cardigan” (pattern by Susan B. Anderson) that I have done. This one is larger, a size 6, and I had to use another similar pattern to go by for instructions, because Susan’s largest size was 4. I added a second flower because the larger size looked kinda’ like it needed ‘more pizazz.’

Instead of making the matching hat, I think I will make a little purse with the flower on the front.
