Momma creates

I learned how on knit 8 years ago when my grandfather was very sick. I sat by his bed side with my mother and aunts and uncles just trying to spend as much time with my grandfather as we could. While sitting there my Aunt Kim was knitting blankets for her grand kids, while doing that she taught me how to knit.  I started a large dress for Rodent, since she was the only kid I had in my life at the time. After my grandfather passed I soon became pregnant with Monkey and the dress easily morphed into his baby blanket. I taught myself from there off of books and the Internet and knitting groups. I have loved doing it so much!!! It is my go to for any baby born or special occasion. I do it as much for myself as I do for the recipient. 

These fingerless gloves are for my best friend and sister in law since she works in a cold office but needs to use her computer. Since wearing these at work 8 people have ordered gloves from her for me to make! 

This I am pretty proud of, this mermaid tale is for Miss Bee's three month pictures. They are gonna be awesome! More of that to come.

I made this for Cupcake's third birthday, loved the yarn and the way it turned out, it is just a blanket with sleeves added! It is still pretty big 18 months later :) but eventually it will fit right, until then she still loves wearing it. 

I have so many projects in progress and am happy as can be just like that.
