Getting bigger, just like Mister


Remember this from yesterday?

It's getting bigger.

Almost done with the body, about 2" to go.  then I'll pick up the sleeves with 2 circs and work downward.  Finish the neck and then it should be done.  Next a matching hat and booties.

I suspect that Mister is also growing nicely.  I'm one very excited and nervous Grammie!

Mister's Sweater



And there you have it.  The beginnings of a sweater for Mister (due end of Jan.).  I can't wait to meet him.  We are all so excited!

Bambi yarn in a blue/green colorway.  I swear this is the best of all my Bambi yarns.  Very soft, and that bamboo makes it very sturdy at the same time. 

Today's job is putting the borders onto Nuts and Bolts, and then assembling the layers and maybe even begin quilting.

New Bambi Yarn!

I love dyeing and knitting and wearing wool/bamboo yarn. It's so soft and yet very sturdy.  Great stuff.  I keep trying different combinations of this yarn, and have found the ultimate Bambi yarn!  80/20 superwash Blue Faced Leicester/bamboo.  BFL has this long fiber which gives the yarn a subtle sheen.  Wears like iron, and yet it is so comfy next to your skin.  The bamboo doesn't take the dye, so the yarn has a heathered appearance.  Really really lovely yarn!  Each skein has 430+ yards, 100 grams, and costs $23.00.

Here's what I just listed in my Etsy shop:  Bramble, Dreams, and Remember.




And I also added one very pretty skein of Carrie Lace yarn (80/20 merino/silk.  100 grams.  1300 yards) Aruba

It's my favorite holiday!


Sarah - We just had 5 in total; the sixth, poor guy, came down with the flu.  So it was relatively easy.  I want to know, however, why I spent Tues, Wed, and Thurs cooking a meal that was scarfed down in 45 minutes.  Tee hee.
