Baby Evie's Knitted Shrug

Here it is. I've finished the shrug I've been working on for Evie. Just love this wool and all the random colours.

I've just got enough for another one so I think baby Smithers will be getting one of these. So simple to make and takes no time at all to knit.

Another Completed Knitted Project

Three weeks to go before we meet our new baby girl, and here is another knitted cardi/matinee jacket completed. This one Michelle chose. She saw it in a library book and said 'mum can you make this'! Who could say no.....not me. Always up for a challenge I went ahead and here it is. Still needs a little rinse through and a bit of a press but on the whole I'm pleased with it.

I've also managed to finish off Evie's little shrug that I've also been kintting but yet to take a photo. Will try and do that tomorrow.

Jeanette

Happy Birthday Krafty Kow

Well it is Michelle's birthday today and she is thirty something and I can't believe how time flies. Of course this is a special day for a 'Stars Wars' fan too, like me as it's  'May the 4th Be With You' but anyway, Happy Birthday Michelle. Here is the card I made for her.

Hope she likes it.

Another Knitting Project Complete

Here is another baby cardigan finished. Phew I have hot needles at the moment as time is running out. I've purchased so many lovely patterns and yarns, recently that I just want to start them all now, but I'm keeping  it down to two to three ongoing projects.
This one is one of those baby wools that has several colours so it is random when knitted.

Can't wait to see baby Smithers wearing this.

Baby Smithers

Well it's getting closer with only 6 weeks to go and the knitting needles are clicking away. Here is a little cardigan that I've finished which is quite small but this is just in case she is around the 7lb weight. Michelle doesn't do small, her babies have been around the 9-10lb, that's boys for you but hopefully our little girl will not be as big......who knows!
