I guess I felt that most saw him in Cindy's post, but I will show him here since you've asked. He was enjoying the New York fresh air, before getting shipped off to Washington in these pictures! Hanging out in a tree ... Being serenaded... Kicking back by the pond... Cooling off in the shade, waiting for Slinkie...

plants 'n pots Purl One Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY	Well... so... I was looking at patterns in the knitting forum that I belong to, for the yarn that I used for the baby gifts - cotton - and came up with this oh-so-simple bootie pattern. I just finished knitting the second one. I think it looks better in solid colored yarns, but this matches the other items I knit up for the boy baby, and will go with them all.

It is a cuff that goes to a triangle up the back of her hand and has a loop for her middle finger. So not exactly fingerless. She has given them all away to friends. She is currently working on a sweater. But hopefully she is really working on homework. I might have to take the looms and yarns away. She's a maniac! ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

I think it's great that she's enjoying her looms so much, but of course not at the cost of her homework! I so wish we could see some of her creative work!!!

plants 'n pots Purl One Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY	It's really easy, Sheri! If you need help I can walk you through it. The decreasing is simply knitting 2 stitches together at the same time. Increasing is a bit trickier, but still really easy. Here is the link to the pattern... baby booties There are 3 different sizes you can make - I originally made the medium size, but they looked to big to me for a newborn, so I ripped the one out and then made the small size. I know the baby could have grown into them, but I decided to do the small anyway... I like this pattern because it's knit on 2 needles - I prefer them to circular or double pointed patterns!

plants 'n pots Purl One Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY	OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK then... This reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally has become an addiction! I picked up 2 plastic storage chests for my yarn stash, to get them off the floor and out of the numerous plastic bags they've been in for months on end. I thought this would hold it all til I decide what kind of wall unit to put in the craft room that I hope Don helps me with soon. But.............. the 6 drawers are jam PACKED to the brim, and I still have more yarn to put away. Plus I have 3 large baskets with lids that are stuffed with yarn!!! I need YARN HOARDERS ANONYMOUS!!! In my defense, at least 1/2 of this yarn was given to me for free!
