First I have the gallery picture of that hat, this is heading out to Canada tomorrow.


The Blue's Clues inspiried longies are finished and will be washed and lanolized tomorrow, so they will be ready to ship. Here is the front with a yellow house.


And the back with a paw print on the bum.

Forgot to add this picture! This hat is done and will be heading out to the mama on Friday. My daughter is upset she is in love with this hat and desperately wants one but with "a blues clues mailbox on it" -- she has recently decided she is my design dictator! I will do an official picture outside tomorrow but wanted to get this up so that mama could see it with the tassels (which I adore).

Here is the finished hat for the longies set. Now I am working on a little surprise.



And here is a picture of the progress on the paw-print for the Blue's Clues insipired longies. Nothing too exciting but hopefully by tomorrow it will look more like a paw!

Here are the Blue's Clues longies I am just about to start the green grass on the bottom.



And here is the longies for the newborn set, this picture is a few days old I've grafted the crotch and weaved ends since the picture just no time to post them lately. I also started working on the hat and should have a picture up soon!

Oh and the colorway on this is "Fox and the Owl" from iCrave on Hyena Cart. It knit up beautifully and the hat is coming along nicely as well, this will be an adorable set when it is done.

I've got a bit behind in posting lately but that doesn't mean I'm not knitting!

Here are the Blue's Clues inspired longies just waiting for my long 7's to be freed up so I can begin magic looping the legs.


Next I have the newborn set I am working on, not entirely sure of the colorway or the dyer (I have to remember to ask the owner). I am about half way down the legs, sometime tomorrow I will be done with these and moving on to the cute matching hat, and if I have enough yarn a free cute pair of booties as a special gift to the baby. I'm not sure why but I just can't bear to think of newborns in their cute matching sets barefoot.


And last something I have been working on during the day lately and finished weaving ends tonight a hat using about 2 ounces of yarn a customer sent and some black merino I had on hand (thanks Kimi of A Twisted Stitch). Tomorrow I will get the tassels on and then block them before they head over the border to their new home!

Here are the outback longies ready to ship! They will be heading out today.



I started working on a set of custom longies inspired by Blue's Clues, I should be ready to split for the legs by today. These will have some custom embellishments added with duplicate stitch once they are finished. I am very excited to be working on these.

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.
