"O Becky Your So Naughty" Baldwin's Little Sister

˙·٠•●♥ “O Becky Your So Naughty” is a Bathroom Monster who loves accessories and will dump out all the pretties trying to find just the right ones for dolling up but cleaning up is not her thing"♥●•··˙

Athena loves accessories and loves to get dressed up so I knew just what kind of Monster to knit her:)

I had fun learned how to embroider with embroidery floss and with yarn and how to make felt flowers and accessories.

The girls start school Monday one will be going into Kindegarten the other 2nd grade their very excitted :)

˙·٠•●♥ Summer Bliss ♥●•··˙

Last time I blogged alot was happening and I was feeling overwhelmed so hubby in his infinite wisdom sent me home.
I bought "The Big Book Of Knitted Monsters" By Rebecca Danger
I knit a Monster for Alora his name is Naughty Baldwin The Bathroom Monster.
I had some Yummy Malabrigo in a colorway that reminds me of my Summer's as a girl chasing the ice cream truck to buy a creamsicle on a hot day.
I bought the skein from SandraSingh.com
Alora loves her Monster and I'm knitting one for Athena right now in Malabrigo Colorway Cuarzo a lovely lilac:)

I visited my Son and Grandson and got some knitting time with friends and relaxed it was a therapeutic trip.
I spent 3 days with my son celebrated his 26Th birthday went out to eat went to the movies and we got pictures taken together:)
I spent my Grandsons last day of Kindegarten with him at his school and went to his Graduation the following day so special.
We are still working on health issues mine and Alora's are getting better but we haven't figured out Athena's yet but we will.
Everything has broken down or had to be replaced this year like washer & dryer ,vacuum,lawnmower,vehicles but we just deal with things as they come.
I'm taking time to just spend lazy days with the girls watching movies or reading them stories and cooking light healthy recipes for my family.
The Summer is going by quickly school starts next month.
Hopefully I will start to be a more frequent blogger until then tell me about your Summer:)

~*Visiting The Frog Pond*~

Be warned this is a cautionary tale and so if your a knitter this may be to upsetting to read;)
I have been for the last week sick with a nasty bug and knitting a shawl.
Realizing to late one shouldn't knit while sick.lol
My stitches just didn't look right so this morning I frogged it.
I'm feeling much better so I'm going to knit up some swatches on smaller needles and restart the shawl it will be a birthday present for my friend Lizet.
The yarn is The Plucky Knitter Super wash Merino,Fingering in the colorway Hey Cupcake! and it does look like yummy pink frosting:)

I Knit This One In The Elf-A-Long

I Knit This One For A Wee Sock Swap


I Knit This One For Meg


I started knitting this pattern when I joined the wee tiny sock swap group on ravelry.
The pattern was originally written for magic loop, but has been successfully knit on double point needles by me and others in the elf-a-long on ravelry.
Meg incorporated the notes for dpn's into the pattern and then I test knit it.
There are tips in the elf-a-long thread, in case people want to have a look.
If you have trouble joining the points click on this link Look at post #95 for help from Meg.If you are not a member of ravelry and want the pattern leave a comment with your email and I will give it to Meg or
If you click the link for "Download PDF" in the sidebar of Megs Blog, you can get the elf pattern even if you aren't on Ravelry...Ravelry set it up so that anyone can download it from the link, even though the PDF is hosted by Ravelry. So nice of them.
