FO NO. 17

Baby Jacket with Ribbed Sleeves
Size: 6 to 9 months
Yarn: Cara cotton, 3 balls
I finally finished the gorgeous baby jacket from Special Family Knits today. I just finished sewing in the zipper, which is always a pain to stitch at the ends because of the plastic parts on it. It took me about 2 weeks to knit, but I was also knitting other things in between too, so it might have been done a lot more quickly if I had of only stuck to one project. I think it is very cute, although it is a lot brighter than the photo shows.

I also received my wonderful prize from Laura today. A beautiful skein of yarn which I think is just gorgeous and oh so soft too. Isabelle said that she loved how so soft it was and kept rubbing it against her cheek. It does feel wonderfully soft, and I will have to make something wonderful out of it too. Any suggestions? Thank you so much Laura, and it arrived so quickly in just a week too. Oh by the way Paul is much better about the car incident yesterday, as he went and made me some lunch for being nasty to me. Tomorrow he is back to work, so it should be nice and quiet here for me to finish up some things. I am going to be doing some sewing tomorrow for Isabelle, so I should hopefully have some things to show you all next week. Happy knitting and thank you for all the wonderful comments that you leave for me too!!

Thank You Beth

Here are the wonderful goodies that I received from leaving a comment on Beth's blog. She drew my name last week and told me she would be sending the sock yarn, but she included those delicious looking cookies too, and the lovely postcard of Seattle. Beth knits up wonderful socks too, so make sure you go and have a peek over at her blog when you have time. Thank you so much Beth, you have made me feel much better today since I still have this horrible headcold.
I also ordered the Jo Sharp Issue 3 book from The Knittery. I have not seen it anywhere else, and she just got some copies in. I have had a quick glance through the book and there are some lovely patterns in it, quite a few I would like to make including the vest on the front cover. Well that is about it for now, I am off to bed with my box of tissues and hopefully some sleep whilst the kids are still at school.
