The proof!

This is Chrissy wearing one of the sweaters I have knit for her. It really did look nice on her, too! She loves to sit on her Daddy like this.



Athough you cannot see it very well, this sweater is one that my mother knit for my daughter, Chrissy's mom, so she actually has a sweater from her Greatgrandmother. My daughter, son-in-law, and I really think this is wonderful. It has a little grow room, so it should fit her through the winter. At least we hope so. At the rate she is growing, noone knows!!

I have been sewing and knitting, just not posting. I hope to rectify that soon, but don't hold me to a promise, please. I'm smocking two things for Chrissy for Christmas, knitting for her, my sister, and hopefully Chrissy's mom. I'll try to post some of my progress soon. ;-)

Completed shawl

This is my finished merino shawl. It's really plain stocking knit stitch with a seeded edge all the way around. I need to block it, still, but I'm looking forward to our eventual winter weather (hope, hope!!) so I can wear it and feel all cuddly and warm from it. The picture is pretty true to the burgundy color, too! I finally remembered to turn the flash off to capture the color better.

I'm having fun ordering and dreaming about knitting for the new grandbaby. I'm ordering new sock yarns, too, and dishcloth cottons. I'll be busy, but that's how I'd rather be most of the time. I'm hoping my pregnant daughter will let me sew a few maternity clothes for her, too. She isn't a sewer. Mostly does cross stitch and does a nice job, but she really does appreciate my sewing and smocking and knitting. I'm happy to have someone special to do these crafts.
