Custom order fun!

Wow! Thanks to everyone for all your love and support from my shop opening announcement! I appreciate every "like" or "heart" or comment that I get!!!

I have gotten several custom orders in the past week and have had a lot of fun working with my customers to make something for them! First one that I just finished and delivered was this sweet little "Bee stitch" baby hat!

(from my instagram - link in the right sidebar if you want to follow!)

As you can see it fits the little recipient with room to grow, and I am really happy with how it turned out! I am thinking I will have to whip up some more of these for the shop soon.

Second order I've been working on is a cute panda themed baby hat. I still have to work on the face, but the pom pom "ears" came out adorable.

Next up is 2 more hats for some preschoolers - stay tuned to see what cartoon character they will be based off!

Finished photo

I realized I haven't gotten a nice "finished" photo of the green newborn sweater!


I really love it. I need to mail it off to its recipient!

In other news, that pretty teal yarn that I ripped out? Well let's just say I ripped it out, AGAIN. I finished the yoke of this sweater dress and it was huge, like 2T or so! Oopsies. Poor Norah, I am going to knit you a sweater for this winter if it kills me! :-)

Don't you love....

...baby knitting??? There was a wave of people having babies last year. I enjoyed knitting lots of little tiny things, especially for my OWN wee one! Luckily the wave seems to keep on going, because we recently found out some friends of ours are expecting their first little one next year. Even though they JUST told us, I couldn't help but cast something on.....

I am already casting off the body! I love how quick newborn knits are! Plus this yarn is gorgeous. I think Jessica sent it to me for a gift (if my brain serves me correctly). Thanks Jess!

Side project!

Sometimes a girl has to take a break from making a cabled sweater for her baby to make a cute lil newborn hat for her baby! LOL!

Basically I wanted something that would fit her as soon as she came out... I had this sock weight yarn from Jessica that had lovely pink and brown shades (sorry the color in the picture is a little bit off), and I thought it'd be perfect for a delicate little hat! I started with 2x2 ribbing, and then decided to keep going with it so that the hat would be snug no matter what! Turned out pretty well :-)
