Soap Box Derby Car

I had someone request a Soap Box Derby Car. I was completely stumped as to how to make one, but Paul had the great idea to make it sort of like a bootie pattern and then figure it out from there.

She had a picture of her babies bedding that she sent to me so I could match the colors.

I even made a little steering wheel!

And a little grill on the front.

If I ever catch up on my orders I’ll be sure to write up the pattern!

Sock Monkey Hat

Anooother Custom order! A Sock Monkey Hat! Sam was not quite as willing of a model this time.

Oh well! Just try to remember what the last Sock Monkey hat I made looked like…

Silly, silly boy.

Blurry, but happy!

Ah! Finally a good one!

Ok- back to knitting! Still trying so hard to catch up on my orders! So behind!

Green Checkered PomPom!

Sam is such a willing model these days! A custom order for a bright green Checkered Pompom- off to it’s new home far, far away.

Aaaand, that was the only “usable” picture we got. But the outtakes are quite hilarious. Would you like to see them?

He looks completely terrified in that last picture, but don’t worry, that’s just his new favorite face to make at me. What a little goof!

Ewok!

Another knit Ewok!

And, as always, anything within Sam’s reach goes STRAIGHT into his mouth.

This was Sam’s response when I asked him to smile:

Quickly followed by THIS face:

What a funny little man!

A Story, By Samuel the Third feat. Gerald the Second.

“I can’t shake the feeling that someone is following me….”

“Oh! Look, it’s Gerald!”

“I will be honest, though… you scared me quite a bit.”

“But I can see that you just want a friend!”


“But it’s too bad we have to send you off to another kid.”

“But that’s ok, I don’t need any competition for the camera.”

 “So take one last look at this guy before we ship him off. “

Penguin!

Oh, these little penguin guys are one of my favorites to knit up for people.

Sam was an obliging model again. Until he started trying to grab them and chew on them.

Look at those arms trying to swipe that penguin! Oh man, I love this kid.


Headbands for everyone!

Yep, another headband!

I’m pretty sure I could make these in my sleep! There’s going to be a few more fun knits coming along this week, a few more animals and then at the end of the week I’ll have Sam’s Monthly Photo Shoot to show you all!

Pinkie the Elephant

A custom order for a pink elephant with a purple “A” on it’s belly!

Sam was kind (and happy) enough to help me model some products!

I got a few good smiles!


Although, he did look a little sad when I told him he couldn’t keep it.

But then he told me that he didn’t want it anyway, since it was girly.

Can’t you just tell by that last picture that he’s got an attitude?

Happy Friday

I made an iPod cozy to match the headband for a custom order.

But since that’s not very interesting… here are some pictures of Sam!


Doin’ some tummy time. It’s not his favorite activity.

We’re still teething and drooling a lot. I ordered a Baltic Amber teething necklace which should be here early next week. I’m curious to see if it makes any difference!

Have a great weekend!
