Small bits stocked

While there has been very little blogging there has been knitting.

Eloise Onsie, fresh off the needles

 

I’ve had this pattern in my knitting queue for quite a while & have just now gotten to it.  Wish I’d found the time sooner.

Eloise Onsie, a fairly new pattern by Claire Gentry

The pattern as written is a sweet onsie  with a mock gathered neck & capped sleeves.  I added a skirt…just because.  I’ve another lined up as I think it will be so versatile for any baby’s wardrobe

Photos are fresh off the needles and unblocked

I added a skirt…just because.

Accent buttons from Ayarina’s Button shop on Etsy

Greenman On the needles now

“Greenman”, a fun dapple dyed colorway by Family Pendragon has been sitting in my stash bin for nearly a year.  When I saw it I had to have it!  Purchased with no plans no plans in mind it’s been calling to me for some time now.  Looking for a small project to cast on last night, it refused to be ignored any longer.

Can you tell what it is? 

Not telling till it’s done but it will be a sweet set!

Fluffy mail received yesterday from Jenny of Little Trunks Knits one of my favorite dyers.

”Heart’s Ease” for a custom Kenna & Bloomers to be cast on later this afternoon

Stocked to the Katidids Etsy Shop a soft cowl in a wonderful olive green.

I didn’t have a model handy so I put my garden angel to work.  I don’t think she minded a bit!

I’ve a couple of custom shrugs to photo (once I decide on buttons) and then they will be in the mail. 

The sun is flirting for a while today so I think I’m off to the garden for a bit

Have a great day

Katie
