Adorable little girl. My sister asked to knit some hats as props for her photgraphy studio, Studio B. Here is one of them. This is the first time I've seen it on a baby. I must say it turned out pretty cute.
I actually learned to knit many years ago as a young girl, but put it aside and became an avid reader. I recently picked it back up and again (about 3 years ago). I was in Anna's yarn shoppe and found a pair of beautiful rosewood needles. I became determined to pick up knitting again so I could justify the purchase of those needles. I must mention I am also a reenactor at Sutter's Fort State Historic Park. I decided my historic activity would be knitting. Since then I taught myself to do many more stitches. Here I am on a tall ship knitting a monmouth cap, knitting in the round with pins or as they are called today double pointed needles.
Who would of thought? Two new blogs in one day. First my genealogy blog, doinggenealogy , then one of my other favorite pastimes, knitting. I am often waiting for one of my six kids or my husband or sitting at a meeting and have some sort of project with me. This is one of my recent projects. A bag for my daughter's birthday. She loved it and I must say I'm pretty proud of it myself. Fair Isle knitting is not so hard. I got the pattern for the chart off ravelry, but designed the purse myself. Now I'm working on Christmas. Can I get something done for everyone in time?
