Debblie Bliss Baby Cable Sweater

I am loving my Thanksgiving break from work! The idea of mandatory shut-down is weird, but I certainly enjoy the time off! I am trying to finish the Debbie Bliss Baby Cable Sweater that I started two years ago. I had many many balls of green yarn and didnt know what to do with it. This baby sweater seemed like the perfect project at the time. The cable pattern makes this project a bit difficult, but I like the way it looks right now.

The sweater (front & back)

The sleeve

I tried to make the sleeves using short-rows, but didn't like the way it looked, so I am knitting the sleeve separatly as shown above.

Uncommon Wristlets Hairpin Lace Wristlet

I finished my mom's shawl and started this new project (Uncommon Wristlets by Stitch Diva Studo). I picked up this pattern and the yarn from Stitch West 2009. By the way, does anyone know why Blogspot always upload my pictures upside down!? So annoying... Anyway, here are some pictures.

The woman at Stitch West this year had it on and it looke gorgeous on her. 

I am also interested in the newest Endless Knitted Cardi Shawl. Has anyone made it?

My Mom and the Valley Yarns Falling Leaves Shawl

Here are some pictures of the shawl that I mentioned a few days ago. I made my mom put it on so I can take a few pictures. I think it looks gorgeous on her :)

Toasty Cozy

So you know, winter is around the corner and it's getting cold at night. My mom bought this hot water bottle thing to keep by her bedside to keep her warm. She was complaining about the rubber material used for this, so I made her a little cozy. You can find the free pattern online here. It only took me two days.

I used the Lion brand yarn this time and was surprised by how nice the yarn was. Maybe I should use more of these afforable yarns next time. Also, thank goodness for Sharon -- she showed me how to do cables without cable needle! That REALLY helped made this project a fast knit. Thank you!

Valley Yarns Falling Leaves Shawl

I made this shawl for my mom last winter and it's now her favorite shawl. So I am making her another one, in brown, for this winter. It's almost done! I think it looks much better on my mom that the one shown in the picture in the pattern used. I will take some pictures next time my mom wears it. She looks absolutely stunning with it!

Alright, that's it for now. I must go have some Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches!
