Baby Keep Your Socks On

Jo taught us how to made this pattern for infant socks. She did a revision for magic loop instead of using dpns. It's hard to see but the heel is garter stitch.

Kromski Sonata

I GOT IT!!!! I GOT IT!!!!! I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tis the Season!! I have the BEST husband EVER!!!!!

So Mike just couldn’t take it anymore and made me open my Christmas present tonight! I wanted to wait, but when I saw how eager he was and proud of himself, I just couldn’t resist :)

I CAN"T WAIT to try it out! But I think I'm gonna have to take a lesson from Jo before that happens.





He covered up the labels on the box so that I wouldn't know what it was until I pulled everything out of the box! So cute!!

My hunnie putting it all together for me :)




All put together with 3 bundles of Corriedale Roving!!

Warren Cable Beanie

This beanie was inspired by my husband and a sweater knit for him. The sweater was knit in Rev St st with 3 cables running down the center. Not only did I find it aesthetically pleasing but also symbolic of our family’s heritage. Warren is our family name and for the last several generations, Warrens have been bred in 3s. As a very close knit family, I felt the cables were good representation of those solid family ties and each cable representing a member of every generation (and hopefully the next generation to come).
