A chance to revisit my blog

It's after 4am again! I seem to be drawn to posting at this hour. I finished the pants and they ended up being for Mardie who was born September 11, 2004. So much has happened since I posted this first blog entry. I've made many more projects. I've knitted most of a sweater for Charmie from Debbie Bliss's baby knits for beginners. I've knitted a triangle soaker with ribbed legs for Mardie. I have also crocheted several purses, knitted some scarves and sewn a few items too, including the Amy Butler Nappy Bag diaper bag! I'm really enjoying crafting for my needs these days.Oh yeah, I got a knitting machine for Christmaas thought I haven't completed any projects on it yet. . . I've made a few rectangles for practice but have yet to make anything more, and my mil got me this cool program Instant Stitch that aids in generating patterns for needle work. I have so many projects that I want to do and several that are started. I'm going to have get to seriously documenting this stuff, so far I've just been taking pics of my completed projects.

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!
