I made my first pair of mittens. He has been asking for about a year for me to make them. I finally attempted and got them done.
I traveled along to take some cows to the sale barn. I figured the 4 hour drive was a perfect excuse to sit and knit. I was right. I finished the second one before we got home.
They turned out better than I thought. They are extra big because he wanted to wear them over his gloves.
We ended up not going in to town today. Therefore no grocery shopping for me. I am currently completely out of milk, bread, juice, and a couple other essentials.
Needless to say my son takes his lunch everyday and it is always the same. So what else am I to do, but bake bread. It turned out wonderful.
It just came out of the oven at 9pm and along with it brought my son out of bed for just a taste. Well several slices later and teeth are brushed again and hopefully sleep will find him soon.

I saw this pattern on a knitting group. It turned out so lovely, I decided to give it a try. So here is my first Ombre hat. I plan to make a few more. This picture was made before blocking. I think it turned out pretty well
I just love knitting hats. However my family only has so many heads. I decided to open an Etsy shop.

I made this pattern for my son with Alpaca yarn. I just loved the snowflakes, so I decided to make one for my daughter in a light purple and cream
I saw that someone had made one with border collies, so I had to do it also. Loved it.
