the avengers dress

This is definitely the cutest thing I've ever knit for Em. It's the Emma Peel dress from the Mason-Dixon knitting book. I used KnitPicks CotLin which is a cotton/linen blend.













Side view. I love it so much, I may need to start another one in the next size up.





The back has a sweet keyhole that buttons up. A first for me to make.

a case of the stripes

Em's got a case of the stripes. I knit this dress for Moo several years ago - Marfie returned it for Em and I paired it with a pair of Moo's hand-me-down tights. I have to admit to loving to dress Little Miss up in her little outfits.

knitting projects

My knitting has been slow going this summer. Little Miss just needs a lot of attention and watching so I've only had time for a few small projects. A recent finished object is a head scarf for Em, matching her knit dress.

She keeps it on for maybe 20 minutes at a time. I'll take what I can get for this cuteness.

another sundress

This was my week to finish crafty projects for Little Miss. This is the second knit/sew sundress I made this week out my stash of yarn and fabric. It's so simple and right up my alley as I don't like a lot of detail work. She inaugurated her dress at Tiny Tots storytime - and had a total blast. She was totally into the other kids and got into in the whole rhythm - even though this was our first time.




Em suffers from neglected second child syndrome - E was a storytime regular at 6 weeks and Em has to be one before she goes to her first. Terrible, I know. But I made it up for her with the homemade dress, right?

new flyaway cardigan finished

Another finished object - a one button flyaway cardigan for Little Miss. I knit it with Cascade Cotton from a Debbie Bliss pattern in an 18-24 months size - which Em wears already - but I knit so loose, it turned out much bigger as you can see. Putting it away for next winter.

It is a lovely red - a cross between barn red and watermelon red. Really it's the perfect pedicure color.

finished object

I finally finished one of my crafty projects - I've had several in progress knitting and sewing piles going this spring. This is a sweet combination of knitting and sewing and the result is a very sweet sundress for Little Miss. You can get the pattern from KarthrynIvy.






As soon as I finished it, I started another one. It's so satisfying.
