Baby Beanie

A new little hat for Baby Joe. He has already outgrown his newborn caps so I whipped out a new one this week. It's made with Brown Sheep's Serendipity yarn a cotton wool blend. Very soft and plush. I love Brown Sheep yarns. 

Baby Joseph is here!

Our precious little love is here. Baby Joseph is such a cutie and we are in love. 

Grandma's Blanket

My Mother-in-law crocheted this gorgeous blanket for baby Joseph. I can't wait to receive it. It's a big beautiful size that he will be able to use for years. It was done in a baby yarn and will be really soft. I appreciate all her hard work and can't wait to wrap him in it. 

Third Soaker

While waiting for the little guy to arrive I decided to whip out one more soaker. Same pattern as the others, using up more stash yarn.  The pattern is quick and easy now that I have the hang of it. I whipped this one out in a day. 

Wool Diaper Soaker

Pattern is the Curly Purly Diaper Soaker from ravelry. Just finished the brown cover. I will lanolize them tomorrow, I'm anxious to see how these covers work. Lots of great reviews online. They seemed really waterproof with our home trial. If they work as well as others say I will knit up a bunch more in the next sizes. 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

This is a Christmas present I made for the wee one. The pattern came from Ravelry, one of my favorite resources.

Little Boy's Stocking

New stocking for our baby boy. Since he is due in the next two weeks, the kids and I decided to make him a stocking this year. Santa will fill it with baby essentials for our little guy. 

Christmas Gnomes

Our new little Christmas Gmomes to go on our seasonal shelf. We have added in some waldorf flare to our homeschooling this year. 

A Big Hit

The mice and book were a big hit! A wonderful addition to our holidays. 

Christmas Mice

Two cute little mice from Susan B. Anderson's book Itty-Bitty Toys. I'm pairing these with the book If You Take a Mouse to the Movies by Laura Numeroff for the kiddos. 

Santa and Bag

Thanks to the pattern found in my Itty-Bitty Toys book by Susan B. Anderson we have a new Santa and Toy sack in our Christmas collection. He has definitely been eating too many cookies! 

Waldorf Gnomes

This week we made our first set of Waldorf Gnomes. They turned out super cute and we are excited to make more for our nature shelf. The fall colored ones are for our fall nature shelf. The blue ones are for a dear friend for her winter nature table. Hope she likes them!!!!

Pumpkin Treats

We made these little treats to celebrate in the fall holidays. Yummy!

Crocheted Bear

Little Bit created this guy on her own. She designed the pattern herself while crocheting. I'm very impressed!!! He turned out super cute! 

Newborn Pants

Here are a couple of sewn knit items I made for the Little Guy.  Pattern designed at home based on multiple patterns.  The top pair is a blue with white flecks.  The second pair is blue/tan striped.  Fabric is coming from my stash......

Diaper Soaker

I am trying something new this time around, a homemade diaper soaker.  It's knit in 100% wool and will get lanolized to be used with my cloth diapers.  I have always had machine sewn wool covers but found Ravelry contained lots of patterns for this type of soaker.  Little Bit and I tested it one day and found that no water leaked through and we haven't even lanolized it yet.  I'm hopeful it will work and is super cute too.  It will pull right up over a pinned prefold diaper.  The waist can be rolled up for nighttime leaks or down during the day for comfort.  

Baby Boy's Sweater

When I learned to knit it was after my kiddos were babies.  I have given lots of other folks these cute little sweaters but have never made one for myself.  I am so excited to be able to make one of these for my own baby.  It's a pattern from a little knitting book I own using Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece.  I went with a Chocolate Brown color and will eventually add some little wooden buttons to the front.

It's a Boy!

We are happy to announce a new addition to the family. A baby boy! He is due in January and much loved by all already.

Waldorf Doll

Here is the cute little project I've been working on. It's a Waldorf doll from the knubbelchen pattern on Ravelry. It's one of many new items I've been working on. Stay tuned for the rest. 

Knit Pix Needles

I've gotten back out my BEAUTIFUL Knit Pix sock needle sets. They are beautiful varied color wood and just gorgeous. I purchased these from a friend when she owned a craft/knitting shop here. They are definitely a treasure. I can't wait to show you what I'm making with them. Stay tuned......
