Some Baby Things

These baby tie shoes are from Crotiques pattern site.

These will be donated to the local pregnancy resource center.

This is a baby set I made to donate to the local pregnancy resource center also. The sweater is from a pattern I found online a long time ago. The yarn I used is Caron Jumbo Prints, and since it is WW, my sweater turned out to be bigger than the pattern. It's about 6 month size. I couldn't find a hat pattern that looked like it went with the sweater, so I designed my own. Most of the booties patterns that I liked were too small to go with the sweater, so I designed my own booties too.

Liquid Silver Shawl

This is called the "Liquid Silver Wrap" and is from the elann.com website. The laceweight yarn I used is Pure silk 20-2 from Yarn and Fiber Company and is color storm. I highly recommend using laceweight needles, as it makes a huge difference. I only did two repeats wide of the pattern, not three. I got my beads from Hobby Lobby.

The shawl pin is a Fair Trade endeavor by a group called "Rwanda Knits".

School cardigan

This is the cardigan I knit for my daughter for school. It has to be navy blue, but other than that no requirement. (I hope)

Chevron Lace Cardigan

This cardigan is made from red Heart Soft yarn, in the color Guacamole. I think I used 3 skeins, but I'm not sure, it may have been 4. I can't remember how many I bought. This is the third thing I tried to make from this yarn. The pattern is here:
Cardigan
This is a very easy pattern, and only took me a few weeks to make. I could've finished it a lot faster if I had worked at it a little harder. I used a progressively smaller hook as I did the sleeves so that the wrist would be narrower than the top of the sleeve. I added several rows of SC around the neckline, since it was quite loose, and
I made the bottom edge straight by doing SC/HDC/DC as needed to get an even edge. I then did a border of DC followed by a round of SC around the entire sweater. I am considering adding some buttons to the front.

Pink Baby Sweater

Here is another baby sweater I finished for the charity Gods Tiny Angels.



It is made out of RH Sport in Lt Raspberry.

Aruba Sea Scarf

Here is the last scarf on my list for July. It is going to Ann for her Compassionate Creations.



It is made out of the new RHSS color Aruba Sea.

Shawl

This is the shawl I made for Heather for the HIJ swap. I used Marble yarn and the diagonal box stitch. If you look carefully on the right shoulder part of the shawl, you can see some of the stitchmarkers my sister made.

Baby Thong Sandals

I made more :) LOL. I just love the pink and brown (Rich Pink and Peat Brown by Phentax) The yellow and orange (Banana Yellow and Hot Orange by Bernat Cotton) are nice too, just not as nice as I thought they would be.

The pattern for these sandals can be found HERE
