Infinity Scarf

I’ve been really into chunky knits lately…. half of my Pinterest account is chunky knits, lately. So when I got an order for a Black Infinity scarf and the woman who ordered it let me have a little creative freedom I thought for sure I wanted to do a chunky knit.

So here are some very bad self portrait pictures of my extremely pale face.

But this is an extremely warm scarf. I think once I catch up on my orders I might need to make myself one!

Alright- back to the grind (The grind being more knitting!)

Norwegian Sweet Baby Hat

Another custom hat order! For someone with a bit bigger of a head than Sam. (He’s got a tiny head, apparently)

Sam wasn’t thrilled about being used as a model for the third time this week.

Ah, look at those cheeks. I just want to gobble them up every day.

We’re still teething over here, which isn’t very fun, but hoping those teeth pop through soon so we can get over this crying slobberfest over here!

Vandal Helmet II

Another Vandal Helmet for a custom order!

Sam is a little under the weather (Again) but hey, we’re working through it.

We got lots and lots of snow this week! So we’ve been a little cooped up.

Sam seems to do better when we get out of the house, but it’s just been so very icky outside that we haven’t wanted to get bundled.

But I suppose that’s just what happens in the winter in Moscow.

And just a note, to those of you who are waiting on orders- I am a bit backed up with them, but they ARE getting worked on. Since Sam has been sick there hasn’t been as much time for knitting, so do not worry, they are coming, I promise!

A custom order for a giraffe

I am having a hard time parting with this guy… he’s really endeared himself to me.

I should probably write up this pattern, too. But I am so backed up with orders right now, so it’ll probably be a while before I do any pattern writing.

He has a curious face, I think.

 
He’s a lot taller than I meant him to turn out. He’s well over a foot tall!


Alright, back to knitting. I’ve got 23 orders to catch up on!

Pebbles Vest

Here is Sam wearing his Pebble Vest!

It is just a smidge big for him right now, but it’s stretchy, so it should fit for a while!

Ah, and check out the awesome oval wooden buttons all down the side!


This face just cracks me up.

And he is teething right now, so everything (even his shirts) go straight into his mouth and get chewed on. We are both usually a little damp from all of the drool and spitup. But hey, there are worse things than being drooled on by a cute little munchkin baby.

Pompom Hat #2

Another pompom hat order!

This one isn’t quite so girly.

I may need to make Sam his own pompom hat, because I think he looks awfully cute in it!

And tomorrow I will be back to show you Samuel’s Monthly Photos! (I can’t believe it’s already time for that! He’s been 4 months for a few days now!)

More Headbands!

These headbands are proving to be a popular seller recently, too!

Which is good because they are so quick to knit up.

Nothing quite as classy as mirror pictures, right?

Someone also wanted one in yellow- but no flower. She is going to do some bead work on it.

I hope she sends me a picture of what she is doing with it, because I am curious!

Pompom Hat!

I’ve gotten 3 orders for these pompom hats recently, and Sam gets to do the honors of modeling them for me! It’s a bit big (It’s 6-12 month size, and Sam isn’t quite 4 months yet)

He’s cute, even if these hats make him look a little girly!

I love this picture! He’s like “MAMA! Why would you put this pink hat on me?! Are you kidding me?”

I also love the fact that Sam is really into his toys now. He didn’t have any interest in them until we were in Tacoma over Christmas and all the sudden he started grabbing at stuff and being interested in the toys in front of him. Mostly he just wanted to stick them in his mouth, but hey, it keeps him entertained while mama takes silly photo shoots of him, right?

Gray Hat and Happy New Year

Hello Knittybutton Readers! Sorry for taking such a long break for Christmas.. I didn’t really mean to be away for a whole week, but I ended up just having such a great time with my family, and then when we got back to Idaho I just wanted to spend the rest of the break enjoying Sam and hanging out with Paul. BUT I did get quite a bit of knitting done. Amazing what you can get done when you’re not taking the time to blog!

Anyhow, I made my brothers girlfriend, Krysta this hat for Christmas!

I guess I have a smaller head than most, because it was a bit too snug on her. And then my Sister in Law Cynthia told me the hat I made for her last Christmas was too small for her, too. Oops.

It turned out pretty well, considering that I whipped it up the day before Christmas!

I’ll be back tomorrow with more knits! Thanks for being so patient with me!

Someone in my family (but I am pretty sure she doesn’t read my blog very often, and she’ll be getting it on Saturday anyway) requested a chunky knit scarf- so I whipped this up for her.

This thing is plush, guys. Seriously scrumptious.

It took me like two days to knit 7 1/2 feet of this scarf. And not because I was knitting fast, it was because I was doing it on size 17 needles in super bulky yarn.

Wow. Sorry ’bout those under-eye bags. I think I need to invest in some Photoshop so I can buff those out.

Hm, that’s better- just cut the eyes and messy hair out, right?
