My Baby Owen's Stash

I've been a busy, busy knitter the past few months. I have a baby due in about 6 weeks, but I'm really hoping he decides to come a little bit early. Not a TON early, just a little.

Anyway, I have had some time to knit. I have kind of closed down knitting for other people, for a while, at least. And focusing on knitting for my baby, and my family, hey Iowa winter is COMING! And Christmas!

Here are some of the things I've knit up for my baby, Owen!

This yarn was knit by my super talented friend, Jennifer of Debutante Yarns


Yummy Dashing Dach's Caribbean Goldfish! One of my favorite colorways


Unblocked Sheepy Longies...I think I'm going to add a sun to the bum.


They also need a drawstring...but details.


I knit this pumpkin hat on the way to Mall of America over Labor Day weekend. It's Dashing Dach's pumpkin.



And those are all that I have a picture of! I have some hats I've knit, and I need to knit a matching sheepy hat. Thinking about a Hudson. I am test knitting a realllllly cute thing! And I have some gorgeous caribbean seas by Debutante Yarns to do also...sooo I still have a lot to do.

Here is another crafty endeavor I've taken. I went to Joanns to get a wreath for our door. But all of them were way too decorated. So this is what I got instead. A grapewood (I think) wreath for $3. And then 4 $1 picks. I like it SO much more than the wreaths that Joanns had, and it was less than 1/2 the price!

Rebecca's Set Part #1

My friend Rebecca is having a baby. A tiny, little fellow they will call Max.

I knit this for him.


Tiny longies and a turn a square hat. I have fabric to embellish a little shirt for him! It will be darling! That will happen this weekend.

Skunky update!

We went with version #1 :) They are super cute and are now with their new owners!

This is my current WIP (work in progress)



I love the colorway! I am making some longies, and we'll have enough yarn left over to make a hat too!

I finished these longies a while ago, but never uploaded the pictures! So here ya go.

Dani's Custom Colorway striped longies!

Skunk?

So I've had this yarn in my stash for a couple weeks, waiting for Kori's name to come up! It knit up beautifully! It's Southwest Spectrum's Morning Petals. I'm kind of in love!



(I always take/post pictures of my items before blocking!)



Folded


And SKUNK!


I love love love duplicate stitching. I love that I'm able to add something special to an otherwise blank canvas! Thanks so much for letting me knit for you Kori!

I'm working on something special for Dani right now!

This is a custom colorway by Hippy Pippy

Busy knitter this weekend!

Here are a few things I worked on and finished up this weekend.

This is WSK (Western Sky Knits) Peace Baby


These longies are for my BFF Barb. I love her and her little Benjamuffin so much! I also LOVE the cargo pocket!








So I have boys. I love my boys, but there's definitely a part of me that wants/needs a girl! This yarn, #1 reason why!

Ky Baby Knits "This is how much I love you" with pink (TIHMILY)







And another reason to have a girl
Ky Baby Knits Emily colorway







I also made this!


It's called a Calorimetry. It's a headband of sorts! This is going to live in Sunny AZ! :)

Woodland in Spring

You know how when you knit, sew, or do anything you have a particular brand you just LOVE?? It's like no matter what, the finished product always looks just right when you use your product? For me, it's Mosaic Moon yarn. I LOVE it.

This is Morwena's Woodland in Spring colorway {before blocking}

Stacy's Longies! **Bright Stars**

Here they are!

Oh it's been SO long!

Well I've not posted, but I have been knitting! I actually have been knitting a ridiculous amount!

Let's see.

I knit, a Hudson hat for a benefit. A super sad story, so if you're in the market for some small/medium longies and a matching Hudson, this is a great opportunity to do something good!


I finished Stacy's longies for the photography studio...but forgot to take a finished picture! Pity! They're SUPER cute! But I'm sure Stace will send some to me once she uses them!
Here they are as a "WIP"

Yes they are SUPER bright :)

I finished a birthday hat for one of my BEST FRIENDS, Stacy. It was the first I'd made from this pattern, so I had to try it on to make sure it fit! I apologize in advance for the way I look! Myspace-esque photos aren't my best!



And this last hat I finished for a really good and sweet person. It's a surprise.
**again with the myspace pic!**


Gabriel, my almost 1 year old (tomorrow is his birthday) also loves the surprise hat I made.




I also just bought a skirty pattern! I'm ridiculously excited to try it! If you want to be a tester for it, please email me! lolacatecreations@gmail.com

Gabriel's Birthday Longies

These were bittersweet to knit and finish. These are the longies that my little man will wear at his first birthday party! I can not believe it's already been a year! it's flown by! This yarn was hand dyed by an amazing artist, TJTunraveled

Without further ado




Also the stocking at Cong-Fu went well! I sold 2 custom Hudson hat slots!

Griffin's Longies!!!

They're obviously a work in progress, but I LOVE how they're turning out!
