Bayside Britches & Sleep Sacks & Thank You Knits!

First of all, A quick knit For Compost Boy who was a major help during recovery.  He was my fetch & carry kid.  He was also the tattle tale if I was doing something I wasn’t supposed to be doing.  So as a bribe to keep him quiet thank you for all his help, a pair of mitts for small hands. 

I think they were a hit as he sang me a song about how much he loves his mitts!Another Bayside britches completed.

Sold before it was completed!  Tessa Ann Buttons completed the outfit

A Sleep sack with matching hat set.  I love how easy these are to use.  I think it lasted 2 days in the Etsy shop

Right now I have another bayside britches on the needles, this one boyish.  Nice earth tones and mossy greens.  I should have it completed tonight. 

I’m also working on longies, small boys & small girls.

I do have a few open spots left this month for customs

On the Needles Bayside Britches & custom Longies!

One nice thing about having to slow down a bit, it gives me time for some play knitting 

The bad thing about it…it gives me time for play knitting!   A bit of a double edged sword……I just counted up and I have 14 items for stock on the needles.  Shorties, skirties, longies, overalls, sweaters & booties.  We won’t talk about what I have piled for buttons and those last ends simply waiting to be tucked in.

I’ve picked up quite a few new pattern licenses this past month and keep hopping from one to another excited to try them out with various yarns and colors combinations.  Time to put on my big girl panties and get some completed!.

Right now I’m working on a new pattern “Bayside Britches” from Little Trunks on Hyena cart.

Now a new favorite pattern, I know you’ll be seeing more of these!

I’m rummaging thru my TessaAnn Buttons to see what I have to match.

These should be in the shop this weekend!

I’m using a new to me dyer Happy Hands in “Juicy Melon” A nice DK weight

I love her color repeats and will be purchasing again!

Just off the needles  Custom Longies, they are surprise gift so I won’t say who they go to but

Knit on Cestari a YYMN in the colorway “Puppy Dog Tails” from

These are unblocked fresh off the needles.

I’ll be working on a Kenna Button top and longie set next

Mini Stocking & More Colors

We just came home from 3 days in Chicago. Our second evening we were treated to a private sunset cruise on lake Michigan.  It was beautiful, clear skies, warm breeze and the water was an amazing emerald and teal in the setting sun.  When we came home I had to try and capture those colors in wool.  Although my colorway doesn’t do the awesome sight justice, here is

“Changing Tides” knit up in a Soaker Sleep Sack.

Emerald green, light and deep teal with touches of the gold sun set. Listed in the Etsy Shop now.

Other new colors are….

Blues, greens & brown with a touch of white on BFL

 

And a bit punkish, Black, greens, orange, royal blue & Deep Purple

 

And for the softer side, Pinks, greens, yellows, & peach with lavender to Purple

AND!  A  soft and squishy Purewool order is in! 440 yards in each colorway!

I see some newborn knitting in my future.
