Joining in with Ginny at Small Things today as knitting is one thing I have been able to do a bit of. Nursing, holding baby and knitting seem to go together well.
The pair of pants I had knit for Emmy are too big, so I cast on another pair using smaller needles (size 3) and some cotton yarn (75% from recycled cotton by Lion Brand). I have one side done and hope to finish the other side in the next couple of days as she really could use them. For this pair I decided to add button holes along the top band to thread a drawstring through.
I pulled out a book from the shelves, 10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting, that I have had for some time and re-read a chapter. This week our family is focusing on practicing kindness - to each other in choosing the words we use carefully.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is up to.
Whoa buttons and drawstrings, those totally intimidate me! The longies are beautiful and for such a beautiful girl too!

Tonya,
ReplyDeleteYour knitting is always so very good!! I was wondering if you were able to finish the socks that you were making...I have been thinking of picking up the dpn's again....make a pair of leg warmers and then learn how to make a heel??

Such cute little pants! I love the color too. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it a pattern you found? Made up? I've been stuck on a pair of pants I've been knitting and would love to rip them out and start with a new pattern. Thanks. Emily
ReplyDeleteIs this a pattern you found? Made up yourself? I've been struggling with a pair of baby pants for a while now and I'm ready to rip them out and start with a new pattern.

ReplyDeleteSorry if this commented a bunch of times, I couldn't tell if it was working or not.
I think that both of my babes could use some of these pants, I second Emily on a pattern request!
