Sweet Little Layettes

I have been busy knitting even though I have not had much computer time to update. This is the layette set for my SIL who is not finding out the sex of the baby. I'm going to wait and put pink or blue buttons and ribbon for the bonnet.

Since I have some time I'll hold off on seaming since that's the least fun and because I FINALLY got my yarn for the Mystery Stole!!! My Swatch is blocking but it looks like I'll be using # 4's with my Zephyr, and it was as wonderful to work with that as I have read all over Blogg Land. It blocks beautifully. I'm sure I'll be caught up with the clue's soon now that I can give all my knitting time it this week and next week when I'm in Aruba!

I also finished a Devil Hat from Stitch n Bitch for my sister for her Sweet Sixteen party Saturday. If my Dad remembered to take a pic and send it to me with her wearing it I'll post it up.

A Long Over Due Thank You!!!

I got this "Reveal" package last week but have been having digital camera misplacement issues. Thank You Yvette, my Secret Pal from Canada. This was full of great stuff starting with the chocolate box to my right that is already finished, pictured with two really cute stitch markers that were in that little pink satin pouch.

To the left is the rest of the contents including The "Bags" book, Sz. 7 short needles, a clover darning needle set with a carrying case, a ball of Lambs Pride Superwash in Misty Blue, a magnet, pin and note card set. Thank you Yvette, your a Doll!!!

I have been busy knitting and promise to get some project pictures up. I started a layette set for the Christmas baby, AND I have more baby knitting on the way......my step-sister is expecting baby #1 in early February!!! So I will be an Aunt twice over this winter :) And the best part about that is that she is SURE she is going to find out the sex, soooo I am holding of CO something so i can wait and pick something color appropriate. She only has another month or so till she can know. My SIL on the other hand doesn't know if she'll find out so I am just holding off on more ideas till she decides ;)

The main thing I am awaiting is the delivery of my yarn for the Mystery Stole 3 project. I am really looking forward to this. I have my beads but I decided to take dive into the "infamous" Zephyr yarn. I am going to be using Vanilla with crystal beads. There is over 5500 knitters in this KAL!!! Its also only my second attempt at beading. As of tomorrow clue number 2 will be released, but it is good that I have some catching up to do since maybe I can take this with me on vacation at the end of the month. I plan to do sooooooo much knitting in Aruba. No kiddo's so....nuff' said, lol.
