The Outback longies are done. I decided on the ruffles and I think the finish came out very cute. These are freshly off the needles so the ruffles still want to curl a bit, after I wash and lanolize they will look perfect. I think I may also do one more small special touch on these -- but I will leave that as a surprise for the new owner! I will wash and lanolize these tomorrow and they should be ready to head to their new home by this weekend.


I am casting on for a newborn set tonight. I am not sure of the colorway or who dyed it I will have to ask the mama who sent it in because the colors are so pretty, very gender neutral.

I have about 6" done on the legs so a few more inches and I will start the leg cuffs. The mama who ordered these couldn't choose between ruffles and a flare at the bottom so she is letting me pick -- right now I am think the flare bottoms will look cute but I will wait until I am a bit further down the leg to totally decide.


I also received yarn for another custom newborn set today, I forgot to take pictures before it got dark so I will take some tomorrow!

Here is another set of customs. These will be elastic waist as well which makes them hard to photograph well, I plan to get the elastic in tonight so they photograph better. These have purewool trim and the yarn is Outback by Plymouth.

Win some free carriers!

I finished the Dances shorties yesterday and washed and lanolized yesterday afternoon. I checked this afternoon and they are dry and will be going out tomorrow! These are done with an enclosed elastic waistband and the crocheted scalloped edge. A close up of the leg finish and the the colorway.


And the gallery picture of the shorties!

The latest custom, this is knit on 3ply Purewool in their Dances colorway a mix of gray, purple and a peach color. These will be shorties with an elastic waist. I am just about to start the gusset so hopefully they will be finished tonight or tomorrow.

Here are the Mosaic Moon Arabian Nights shorties just before they went for a bath. Beautiful colorway, these knit up so nice I hope the mama and little one enjoy them! They will most likely ship out Wednesday as long as they are dry.



And next I have a newborn/small set I finished while I was waiting for some yarn to arrive. These are done with 3ply Purewool in the Black and Cyan colorway with matching turquoise trim. I was trying to make something gender neutral, I think I accomplished that I would put these on a girl or a boy! These will be up for sale soon I just plan to make a pair of booties and maybe a small toy to go with them.

Just about to head home from a small and wonderful family break for 4th of July at the lake. I also have been working on a new pair of custom shorties. These are knit with Mosaic Moon 3ply Uruguay Merino in her Arabian Nights colorway. Here you can see them enjoying a view of the lake this afternoon. I love how the blue from the lake is picked up in the yarn .

And here is a close-up on a neutral background. The colors are just beautiful and these are knitting up very nice. I am just about to split for the legs and I imagine they will be done and drying on Monday.
