{Crafting On}







Hello there! I'm joining up with my friend Nicole today for {Keep Calm Craft On}, a special hello  to my visitors from the link up! My first project to share this week is yet another pair of leg warmers, this pair for Nomi's sweet chubby baby legs. I used Ginny's simple little pattern and really love the results!  He's quite large for his age, just like Bobby was...I was a little nervous that they might not fit over all of his baby squish...but they fit well and were very quick to turn out, just one evening each! The yarn is from the lovely Luna Grey etsy shop...it's just delightful! Toddler legs aren't the easiest thing to photograph, but my sister got some beautiful pictures of him for me. {Ravelry notes here}









Oh my...I can't seem to stop taking pictures of my latest project. It's just so...pretty. smile I'm using some delicious Noro Taiyo and some organic merino from Brambleberry Yarns. When I got the blue yarn I had every intention of using it for a wool soaker...but then I saw how amazingly it went with that Noro that was in my yarn shop's sale bin...what was I to do?? It's just a simple scarf for me, I'm loving it though, the garter stitch is a good pallet cleanser while I finish up the sleeves on Bobby's sweater. I hate knitting sleeves...but I do love the sweater and I'm determined to finish it up quickly! I just needed a break...something to remind me of the loveliness of knitting and get me geared back up for sleeve number two! {Ravelry notes here} And now a few bonus baby pictures... *smile*



 p.s.} I made myself a blog button!! Would you like to swap buttons with me?

  1. Oh my goodness! How I love to see chubby baby legs wrapped in wool. Adorable! I am so happy that you love your Luna Grey yarn!!! It's wonderful seeing what people create with it.

    I haven't knit with Noro's "Taiyo" yet. I am inspired to check it out. That scarf is going to be beautiful!

    Can't wait to see what you knit up next....

  9. Aww cute photos!
    How is the texture of the Noro? I always find it a bit scratchy and so put it back on the shelf at the shops.

  12. Those are some adorable leg warmers (and legs!). That's such a great yellow. I love the yarns in your scarf, too. I've really been wanting some Brambleberry yarn. Also, I completely hear you on knitting sleeves. I'm taking a break from sleeves to makes a few hats.
