It's been awhile..........

       Well, I just posted two photos on my blog of the two items I have knitted for my great granddaughter Abigail.  She is due in October so my knitting needles have been zooming away to get ready for this new little addition to the family. 
       The kitten is a pattern that I found in The Essential Baby and Gift Collection of Love Knitting.  The pattern is call "A purrfect partner".  I loved it when I saw it and so did my dear friend, Gail.  She is expecting her first grandchild in December.  She does not know the sex of the baby, they want to find out when the baby is born.  So Gail is using more primary colors for her kitten.  I used up my many leftovers of Baby Cashmerino. 
         The sweater is a pattern from Debbie Bliss's book, Simply Baby.  It is a fair isle that I have knitted before for Coventry when she was a baby.  I love Debbie Bliss's baby patterns and I love knitting with Baby Cashmerino. 
            Next I will attempt to post a photo of Coventry in her knitted red sundress.  I started this on a retreat this Spring.  The pattern is called "Very Cherry".  It is put out by Never Not Knitting.  I debated whether to make it in a pastel but decided to go for the same shade of red they used in the photo on the pattern.  Coventry loved it and during her short visit here in Colorado she helped me pick out some yarn at Knit Knack for the next sweater project for Grandma.  It will be a cardigan in pink, her favorite color. 
           I hope to post more in the future.  I think it was perfect timing to have this new great granddaughter to knit for.  I was really missing knitting the precious baby things.  Abigail should keep me busy for years to come and I promise to post photos of her when the wee one comes. 


Great Grandaughter on the Way....
