Eyelet sweater photos

We went to a wedding over the weekend and I finally got a couple of pictures of the twins in the eyelet sweaters I made for them earlier this summer.  They were both actually standing relatively still for ten seconds.

The sweaters are still a bit too big so they will be able to wear them for a few more months.  Maybe even next spring.  Now that’s wishful thinking.

Traveling

I forgot what it was like traveling with small children.  We went to a wedding in Pittsburgh this weekend for Mr. Aitch’s niece.  It’s about a three-hour drive.  Our five-year-old grandson is a talker.

I thought I could knit in the car or at least during the rehearsal (our grandson was the ring bearer) but that didn’t happen.

I have a few…and I mean a FEW…pictures of the twins in their sweaters as well as my one-year-old granddaughter in the sweaters I recently knit.  It’s really hard to photograph a moving object!  I hope to get those off the camera this evening and if they are semi clear, I’ll post some.

Tea cozy pattern

A few weeks ago someone posted a pattern or link for a knitted pumpkin tea cozy.  I thought I saved the link to it but evidently I didn’t.  I’ve done a search for the cozy but haven’t found the one I was looking for.

It had deep ridges, was orange (duh),  and was a free pattern.  Other than those facts I can’t remember any more about it.

Does anyone remember this tea cozy?

Embellishments

I was on-line browsing though some beautiful knitty delights and realised I should have added some embellishments to the February Baby sweater I gave my granddaughter for her first birthday.  What was I thinking?  The solid pistachio green would have been the perfect background for some lovely daisy stitch flowers in between the garter stitch ridges.

Ok, now I remember.  I finished it the night before the party and was busy making buttons.

In the future I must think of embellishing my solid color knits.
