Stocking on Little Trunks Knits on Hyena Cart!

WhaT A CRAZY WEEK!

Moving into the new room was more of an ordeal (but a good one) than I’d anticipated!  I couldn’t believe how many finished knits I found in bins and bags.  I get on a knitting roll between customs and set them aside to photo & list…….  then forget about them!  It may have a bit to do with the fact creating listings drives me crazy.

This week I pulled a few things out and listed them with “Little Trunks Knits” on Hyena cart.

Yacht Club Longies, color way by Jenny of Little Trunks Knits using her empryean fine Merino

                                                        Yacht Club Variation

Another “Chicken Scratches Overalls

Seuss “ish” Longies A OOAK color again By Jenny using empryean fine Merino

& Last but not least Fairy Petal Longies

  There are quite a few WIP’s that were on hold for yarn which came in the mail today.  So, right now I’m playing catch-up with a Christmas outfit I should have completed by weeks end & striped longies in the next day or so. Mama up-date photos should be up here tomorrow. 

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Trick or Treat!

Knit Overalls & A Bit Of Test Knitting

I have some of the best customers! It’s fun when you have one that’s creative & thinks outside the box It’s even better when they can explain in detail exactly what they want!

Knit using the Knit Overalls basic design & using Little Trunks Knits “Pixie Stix”…

Convertalls?  No, that sounds like a revival..

We’ll think of something to call these!

Bad pic’s again but it was constant rain & I hope to get better tomorrow.

Button on legs, using Tessa Ann’s of course, rump ruffles and ruffled legs.

Ready to be mailed Tuesday morning!

A bit of test knitting!  This is the start of the “All in Onsie” pattern by Sweet Monkey Baby on Hyena Cart.  I’m using Wildflower Whimsy’s “Secret Garden”  LOVE IT!!

I’m much further along then the photo shows, just at the hip now.  Hope to have it completed tomorrow if time allows

Another test knit, the Vest/Singlet by Diana Townsley

A simple sweet top which could be used by either boy or girl. 

A nice summer top that could be also used in the fall for a vest or simple over tunic

We have sun shine and a day off tomorrow! We will be laying floors in the new workroom so I’m not sure how much actual knitting will be done. 

Tuesday I’ll have pic’s of some drool worthy yarn orders that have arrived

Enjoy the weekend

Mama Mail & Updates

It’s been a busy and productive week. Lot’s of little detail things finished and updated to the Etsy Shop.

Knits completed and listed with Little Trunks Knits.  Be sure and check out Jens new hand dyed color’s.  If you like what you see but don’t knit I’m sure Jen or I would be happy to help you out!

Yesterday afternoon saw a pair of custom overalls off the needles and,  late last night a test knit finished.  Both are blocking now and I’ll have pictures up later today…If the weather cooperates!

And Mama Mail!  I LOVE Mama Mail!

Meet Miss Morgan

In her “Hopi” Knit Overalls

We need  to move the buttons up just a tad but

is she a doll or what!

I think she makes my overalls look pretty cute!

What are your plans for the holiday weekend?

Butterfly Stocking!

“Butterfly” top and coordinating soaker on the way to a happy little lady.

I’ve no idea why I waited so long to knit this pattern from Little Trunks Knits 

I love watching the “Butterflies” come to life as it’s knit.  Jen really has a winner in this pattern.

 

“Americana Butterfly”

listed to the Katidids Etsy shop  

Knit using Cascade 220 for the bodice and lace paired with  Araucaina Nature wool for the skirting. Reds & Blues fading to cream,  perfect for Memorial Day and 4TH of July Celebrations!

On the needles now..

A custom pair of “Knit Overalls” using yet another color way of Little Trunks Knits called Pixie Sticks.  Maybe not the best of photos but it gives the mama a photo update!

The second custom on the needles is another “Butterfly Dress”

This one is a large child size which means a LOT of stitches!   My needles are a bit short to really get any rhythm in my knitting & thankfully I have a larger pair on the way!

OOAK Spring Break Shortall”s

Boys Of Summer, Spring Break Shortalls!

A OOAK Colorway using the same shades as

just a little out of control! 

I love how these turned out! 

Just a little bit wild, but still good boys!

Accented with Tessa Ann’s Tugboat Set

These will be stocked this Friday with Little Trunks Knits!

On The Needles Now!

OOAK color by Jenny of

 Little Trunks Knits

Many of the colors in “Boys Of  Summer”

SO, although its an OOAK I call it

“On Spring Break!”…like boys gone wild.

Another Pair of “Knit Overalls” using BBR.

I’m working on the legs now and need to decide what color for the straps and cuffs but, I’m pretty sure I’ll use the orange (or possibly the green) and accent with Tessa Ann Buttons.

Back to knitting!

Hope your enjoying the sunshine!

Chicken Scratches

Chicken scratches

Knit with the “Knit Overalls” pattern by Kylie Marie Brown using Brown Sheep Wool

I’ve had these buttons for a while just waiting for the right project. I love Tessa Ann’ buttons and have…well, waaaay to many that are waiting for projects! Wait, that’s like saying to much yarn…is there such a thing?

Anyway, as soon as I saw this yarn I immediately thought of these buttons & could just see the project completed.  These are smalls & will be listed with Little Trunks Knits this coming Friday the 13th (Friday the 13th ? eeeew!) I have enough leftover I think to squeak out a little hat…I just have to decide on the style…..  Hopefully before Friday!

Stocking Time!

Nasty wet weather and a healing foot has left me with ample knitting time, so I’ve quite a few to list and more in the works.

  It’s the photos and listing I’m way behind in!

Hopi overalls have yet to be stocked but my plan is to have that done tonight along with……

Soakers to coordinate with these Tunics….that have been done for MONTH’S

I’ve no idea how I missed the soakers but, using the “Super Trim Soaker” pattern from Little Trunks Knits” they are done and ready to be listed as sets.

 

The soaker draw string will be included when purchased

The small “Water’s” overalls are done with buttons attached

Owl Buttons from buttonsbyrobin on Etsy for gender neutral use.  Super absorbent and with a pocket big enough for a paci stash!

For the medium overalls I used a color-way on BBR from Little Trunks Knits “Spring Daisy”

Finished with ruffles and Tessa Ann Buttons

Looks like I’d better get busy listing!

Enjoy the sunshine!

And were they a fun knit!  Constructed totally different than any I’ve knit before.

Fun, lots of options, LARGE size range… that works because of the design

These were knit with Wildflower Whimsy “Hopi” Lily Organic Merino which, will be a nice weight for summer

These should be listed to the shop tomorrow evening

I’ve another pair completed, all but the buttons

Also just completed was a pair of custom shorties for Gail

Lanolized and on the way
