It's Been A While!

I’ve been away for a while and I figured it was about damn time I updated again! We went to Myrtle Beach the last week of July, so I brought some yarn and knitted up quick this Collared Helmet by Sirdar with their Snuggly Kisses DK weight yarn in the Speckle colorway. I made it for my personal trainer’s baby boy. She worked with me up to the week of her pregnancy! She was so excited about the hat that she stopped almost everyone who passed her to show it off! I thought that was cute!


During the month of July, I also finished Mr. Bear’s Camo Hoodie. It’s a bit small on him so I think I might make him another one later. This one was made with KnitPicks Imagination yarn in the Woodsman (no longer made). Mr. Bear is a huge fan of this hoodie!

I also made another one of the helmets by sirdar. This one was made for my friend Jackie’s new born baby, Liah Marie. Jackie complained that she had WAY too many pink clothes so I decided to make this in a multi pastel colorway. I’m still finishing it up and will have a photo up soon!

Now, I’m working on finally finishing up Leslie’s Christmas tote. Whoops, and I still need to put her birthday gift inside it. Gotta get that done quick! I don’t even know what to get her for her birthday! Uh oh.

I’m also working on the Swallowtail Shawl that I’ve been dying to make. I’m finally using my Shimmer Lace weight KnitPicks yarn in the Spice colorway. I LOVE the way it’s coming out. It’s so pretty!

Look at the pretty colors up close! So perfect for Autumn!


Too bad I’ve been too tired to knit this week. Not that I’m complaining. I just wasn’t aware that I’d be so exhausted only 4 weeks into my pregnancy! Yup, that’s right, we’re expecting! This will be our first child, and we’re expecting him or her in mid to late April! We were shooting for a May baby as the DH and I are both May babies, but we’ll take this one! We are so thrilled. I haven’t a clue what to knit first!!!!
