I'm Back!!


Okay so I had my baby and am back for good now. My baby girl Cadence Ylise was born on May 21, 2007. Here is a picture.

As you can see she is wearing a hand knit soaker. My latest projects. I am currently working on two or three of them. There are a surprising amount of free patterns for these on the internet. The pattern that you are looking at right now is the punk knitter pattern. The pattern that I will be attempting later is called the curly purly pattern. Both are free and I found out about them on a yahoo group called wool diaper covers group. They are a really nice group of ladies who have links to all of the free patterns on the internet as well as the ones that aren't. they also help people with any problems that they might be having with the patterns themselves.

Anyways so I went to the Dixon lamb and Wool festival. It was fantastic! But it was ridiculously hot. I was only their for about a half an hour to an hour, but I got some really nice wool. 4 oz of BFL in a yellow and blue colorway died with all natural plant dyes, another 4oz. of merino in an orange and red colorway also dyed with natural dyes, and last but not least a 9month old Romney lamb fleece that is unprocessed. Not sure what i'm going to do with that. I'm going to have to take pictures of all of these (it would be a good idea to put new batteries in my camera:D).

So yeah after three months of mommy-hood I think i've got enough of a schedule down to be able to post regularly and keep up on my knitting. I'm hoping to be able to post once a week. So i'll talk to you all later gotta run.
