A wedding Request


A little over a week ago I got a "Etsy convo" from a girl who wanted a grey (yes, grey) sweater for her one & 1/2 yr old niece for a wedding. I thought grey???? Then she said the wedding was Oct. 24th. ..... Yikes!! Well, I made the sweater in the style she chose, and it is just toooo sweet.

The girl sent me a picture of the birdesmaid dresses which are also grey, and they are very simple, stunning, and chic.

Well, I knit myself crazy with this one. I really wanted to get it done with time to spare. First, I had to order the darn yarn..... who keeps grey yarn for babies on hand? Then, just as I got going on the sweater, I went to the dentist, had a little episode, and landed in the emergency room for a day. How frustrating, knowing that my knitting was sitting there at home in the basket by my chair, and I was in a hospital bed. Aarrrgh!

Well, I finished the sweater, and off it went today. In plenty of time.

Sometimes you just have to persevere, have faith in God, and keep plugging along.

Yellow Baby Sweater


Well, here it is... all done. This little sweater and hat turned out really cute, in spite of all the trouble with the yarn.

Now I am on to other wonderful things. I am doing a mobius that reminds me of the little towns in Mexico with all their colorful items they have for sale to the tourists. And, after my daughter stole my pretty knit dish towel, I am making another for myself.

The "mobius" is from the UFO (UnFinished Objects) basket that I have since sorting out my yarn stash. I can't wait for this basket to hold only current works in progress, instead of old UFO's.
