I am incredibly proud of this. I made a monkey ballerina, and I am SO excited to show this to you guys! Paul set up the photo shoot and took pictures of it for me.
Guys, I am so proud of this little ballerina. I am so sad that she is leaving the house tomorrow to her new owner.
Sam, even though he is sick with a cold, was kind enough to model this monkey hat for me. And he was even wearing his monkey jammies!
And the hat is obviously way too big for him, but it’s going out to a toddler in San Francisco.
And yes, that’s snot running down his face. Ew. Didn’t notice that til I uploaded the pictures.
And now we are off to enjoy some of this sunny weather! Oh, sun, how we have missed you!
Custom order for a Blue and Green T-Rex!
I’m not sure why he ended up having sort of a duck-lips sort of thing… a little funny looking, but maybe it adds to its charm?
Another custom order. I’ve never made a shawl like this before, so it was a bit of an experiment.
I had someone send me a picture of a dress they liked and wanted to know if I could recreate it. I had a lot of trouble finding any kind of similar yarn, so I just kind of did my own thing and hoped for the best. So here is my Rainbow Bright dress.
The little girl I babysit kindly modeled it for me!
I know it’s a little bright, but I really like it!
Remember this jacket? I made it this past summer, in the 3-6 month size, which is what size I assumed Sam would be wearing throughout the winter, but it was huge on him up until now. So I am going to photo-bomb you all with a ton of pictures of Sam wearing it. Because it was too hard to pick just one!
Whew!
I hope you all have a great weekend! Happy Friday!
Ok, now that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are stuck in my head….I introduce my little turtle friends.
3 turtles for a commissioned order. Two girly turtles and one ‘boy’ turtle.
I wonder how many turtles I have knit….likely well over a dozen.
They’re so satisfyingly quick to knit!
What about you, Knittybutton reader? Have you made anything fun lately? Do you have a blog that’s not already listed in my sidebar and would like it to be? I’d love to link you! Share your blog in the comments and I’ll add you to my BlogRoll! (doesn’t need to be knitting related!)
A Slouchy Shades Hat in purple for a commissioned order!
I feel like I am finally getting back on track with my orders. I’m still a little behind, but nowhere as bad as I was a month ago! Luckily orders have stalled a little, so I’ve had a little more breathing room. So, for those of you who are still waiting on orders- they are coming, I swear!
Poor kid always has to model the girly stuff, too.
He doesn’t mind too much if he gets to play with pieces of paper. They’re pretty much his favorite thing ever.
If I turn my back for one second it’s in his mouth being chewed.
And then he makes this sad face when you take it away. “Why would you do this to me, mama?”
But he’s happy again once I give it back!
So, we have Samuel’s 6 month well-child visit today, meaning the dreaded shots. I am really not looking forward to it, but I’ll be relieved that they’re done. The last set of shots Sam got weren’t terrible, he was just a bit grouchy and had a little trouble staying asleep, but hopefully he’ll handle these well. I’m a bit concerned with his weight gain (or lack-thereof) I know he’s not malnourished or anything (have you SEEN those thighs?!) but he is still under 15 lbs, which is on the very small side for a 6 1/2 monther. I’m also curious to ask the doctor about his frenulum as it still pulses very strongly and you can see it moving from across the room and I don’t know if that’s normal or not. I know he’s hitting all of his 6 month milestones and he’s doing great with solids, but it’s always good to get the all-clear from the doctor, too. Happy Friday!
