Stocking with Little Trunks & Etsy!

Large longies in Black and Blue Marl Listed to the Etsy Shop yesterday

I love these colors, great to hide stains and spots toddlers always seem to find

Stocked with Little Trunks Knits ,

A Sweet Mama Small Sugar 0-6 Month Kimono Jacket.  Chocolate Cascade 220 and Purewool colorway for the longies and trim. 

Accented with a Tessa Ann Button.  

And using other SMSS pattern…

Gift Wrap Bonnet in soft pink

Accented of course with a Tessa Ann button on the chin strap.

And a 0-3 Month Ian Polo Romper.

Which sold, as soon as the sale went live. 

Such a cute romper, I know I’ll be making more of these.

On the needles now is a Belle Romper, and a pair of small gray marl longies.. Just completed a custom modified Tickle hat. Modified because I ran out of yarn!  Also Molly Bubble Tunic is done, I need to make the coordinating soaker. 

I spent an hour or so today making project bags for summer shorties. I’m in a stripe mood so look for a bunch of fun colors in the near future.

I also bagged up enough scraps for a pair each of boy & girlie scrappies!

Now is when I wish I had another pair of hands!

Have You Seen My Battery Charger

No? Well me either!

I was taking photo’s of stash yarn  (yes I finally dug it all out!) and right as I got started my battery died. 

I had it with me in Calif. and know I had it when I got home.  I know I put it up in a safe place…….

Well, I’ll show you the photo’s I did take before the red light started flashing

A few finished knits

Small’s to be listed with Little Trunks Knits on Hyena cart next week

 

Extra Large Longies I listed tonight in the Etsy shop

 

Also listed tonight in the Etsy Shop is a Sweet Valentine Peep sweater.  I love the design of these. Dress it up or   Split on the sides and secured with a ribbon to let the sweater flow front and back. Enough to keep a little one warm but not over heated.

Besides, if for no other reason than they are just so darn cute!

  I have this sweater in teal, chocolate, gray, lilac & berry in the works with other colors waiting.

I didn’t get ery far with the stash photos but, here it is so far…

Single Ply

Stitches Under the Sun

There are 3 laundry baskets of yarn waiting for photos…and I’ll start posting them this week……as soon as I find the charger

Pretty Boy!

Knitting For Spring

Stocked today in the Etsy shop, 3 “Something Beautiful” Shrugs The Pink & Turquoise are short sleeve to fit 9-12 months

The Sweet Pea Green is 3/4 sleeved to fit 12-24 months.

Bright colors of Easter eggs to pair with Little Ladies Easter or spring dresses. Other colors pastels & bold, in sizes (NB-3 mo to 8/9) are in the works. Short, 3/4 and long sleeves are available.

Orders for these will have a 3-4 day order-out the door!

 

Talking a break from shrug knitting I cast on a pair of small longies

I purchased this wool from another WAHM and forgot to tag the colorway.

Nice and thick, springy wool in rich jewel tones.  These will be listed in the shop before the weekend!

The weather man is calling for 5-6 inches of snow tomorrow so, I’ll be having PLENTY of knitting time inside where it’s toasty warm……

as long as we don’t loose power.

Stay warm out there!

More Sweet Stuff on the Needles

More “Sweet Stuff” on the needles

Again using a Valley Yarns solid for the bodice and Purewool as the contrast. 

It’s much further along this morning, the legs are done & I’m working on the button closure with only the sleeves left to finish.

I’m hoping to have enough for a matching hat & possibly booties

I need to run out this afternoon and try to find flat buttons and ribbon to match.

Amy’s MM shorties are nearly done & I should have photo’s up tomorrow/

The green & blue longies are completed and have a matching sweater….. just waiting for a button to be sewn on.

I’m excited and looking forward to another guest stocking with Little Trunks Knits at months end and have projects in mind for that.  Possibly a boy”ish” romper and a few sets. 

Be sure to friend me “KatididsKnits” on Facebook to see review photos & in the next few weeks coupon codes!

Stay warm out there!

Looking For Sweet Stuff?

You’ll find it here!

   Remember the Molly Bubble?  How about the Fiona romper?  Well, this is my version.  Trimmer body and a few other mods….  Knit of Purewool & Valley Yarns, seed stitch leg cuff with ruffles. Button closure for easy diaper changes. Sweet Stuff…. listed in the shop today.

About as girly as it gets!

On the needles now, are another pair of customs for Amy. 

The richness of the colors is a give away its Mosaic Moon in the colorway “Elements”

I should have these ready for the mail on Monday.

Also in the works for shop inventory are boyish longies in another Purewool colorway

I have to look the name up as it came untagged.  Muted shades of olive, light blue and a mushroom (this photo makes it look pink)color.  These will be small longies & if there is enough left I’ll have a coordinating jacket…possibly a matching hat.

I have one slot open for a January custom.

Oh, and you can find me on Facebook as KatididsKnits !

Romper…WIP & Alpaca Longies

The past few weeks I’ve been playing with a romper pattern.  Obviously I’m still working on it.  I still have the sleeves to decide on and a ribbon or cord to choose for the waist & the button/snap placket to add…..

It’s much trimmer than other designs and the waist placement is a bit different.  Now the trick will be if I can figure all the changes to do it again.

With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching I thought the shop needed some Pink!

I found some beautiful soft pink alpaca in a wonderful yarn store Rumpelstiltskin Sacramento, California while staying with my Mom.  What a wonderful store. They have a wide selection of yarns /fibers & friendly helpful staff. 

Almost as nice as my local yarn store Grinny Possum Fiber Arts!

Stay warm out there!

Amy’s Longies on the Needles

A custom knit for Amy’s little man that are working up beautifully!

Wonderful clear colors and short repeats with very little pooling or patterning. Nice soft & sturdy Cestarti wool, great for crawlers and toddlers.

 

Amy’s little man will get a lot of use from these as so many shirts will coordinate.

I love this colorway & would like to find more but it wasn’t labeled.  If you recognise it please let me know.

Also on the needles is a Fiona romper in Purewool.  The body came out fuller than I’d like so its been frogged and I’m reworking my gauge.

I’ve a few projects completed and tomorrow will have photos up & those items stocked in the Etsy Shop.  Reids romper, Bayside shorties and longies of course!
