The beginning
Here I am at almost 4 AM again on the PC and knitting. I decided to create this blog after seeing others and wanting to share my projects. I hope that this is not boring or redundant. Like I said it's almost 4 AM so cut me a little slack! I am currently knitting diaper soaker shorts/pants for my son, Charmie. I cannot decide on the length and so far don't have to. I'm only on the butt part. This is my first pair of pants/shorts. I am designing my own pattern and want to use magic loop or dpn's when I get to the leg opening area. I just finished embellishing my first down under soaker tonight as well. I crocheted 4 little lizards and appliqued them to the soaker. I think it's cute though they look crude. I just started knitting this month. I've so far knitted a blanket for my son Mardie, along with a little hat and booties, as well as 4 soakers for my son, and 1 for a friend's daughter. I think that's pretty good for a month's work. Next month I really want to work on dying my own yarn. One of the soakers I made for Charmie is hand dyed. I want to make more yarn that is interesting. Of course my son Mardie is due to be born in September so we'll see how much I get done as a mother of 2 babies!
