Crocheted Baby Sweater Photos

Hello! I'm back with pictures of the finished product.

I just love the simple design of the sweater.
Close up.

I hope my friend likes it. I'm making a bunch of other baby related stuff for her. For now I'm going to work on a pretty lace project.

Crocheted Baby Sweater

So I started a new project. I'm not sure how big newborns are in size. This might be a problem since I'm crocheting a newborn sweater, but I crochet pretty tight. I knew in the back of my head that I should have gone one hook size up. Grr. Well, I'll make this my practice run and in the future I'll look up the right age to size dimensions.

Here's the link to the pattern: http://bundlesoflove.org/CrochetedBabySweater


I will be posting pictures up but I have older pictures I need to get out from the back log of sorting through and posting up:
  1. Picture from last summer.
  2. Pictures from winter.
  3. New pictures I took recently of Kujo.
My goal for today is to get my photos organized and up-to-date so I can feel better about myself. =)

Crazy Talk?

Okay, this might sound crazy, but I want to move posts from my WordPress site back to this blog. I don't think there's an easy way to do it other than by copying and pasting them one at a time, but I want to do it. Crazy? Maybe I need a reality check.

Tomorrow's Saturday. I will begin my crochet and knitting journey again. Oh this is just exciting but a bit scary since I haven't really touched my hook in a very long time. Wish me luck!

There Goes My Year...

I haven't posted anything new in a very long time. Where did the months go? I have no clue. All I've been doing is work, taking care of Kujo, studying for my Fundamentals of Engineering exam, and visiting my mom or my boyfriend every other week. I have about 4 or 5 crochet/knit projects on hold. They might be there for another week. My FE exam is this Saturday. After that's over I'll have my life back.

That means I get to crochet every night if I want to. Yay! I miss checking up on my favorite crochet/knit websites and blogs (see the list on the lower right corner). I have a huge yarn stash to get rid of before I move. Maybe I'll take a picture of everything after I move so I can show you the craziness that's living under my bed and in my closet.

My friend is having a baby, but she doesn't know if it's a boy or girl. I plan on making a blanket, hat, sweater, and booties set for her. I'm thinking the color green. I love green and purple. I have some baby yarn in that color but not enough for all those items I listed. Hm. I really don't want to go yarn shopping. I've been very good for the past 3 months on not buying new yarn.

Well here's to a new start. I'll write back if I start crocheting. =)
