Luna In Red

I was digging around the pictures on my hard drive looking for something specific and ran across these. I had intended to blog them earlier this summer. Here's Luna, in red.



Unfortunately, I can't remember where I got the outfit.



Such a sweet face.



We got some snow the end of last week-about 8 inches total. Then it warmed up and rained for 2 days so a lot of it melted. Today it was dry and partly cloudy. I actually saw the sunshine. They're saying all next week will be in the 40's. I would like that. Maybe the last of the snow will go away. We still have a lot of it around.

Yesterday I helped my husband paint the new office we've been building in the loft of the garage. It's almost ready for him to move into. He did the second coat today. He's very excited about it. He also built a long desk to put in the office. He put a clear lacquer finish on it today. It's turned out really pretty. I should take a picture of it.

Live long and prosper. \\//

Sporty Raglan Baby Cardigan

Normally I would wait until the whole layette set is done before posting this as a finished project. However, this little cardigan is special. I've published a free pattern for it.



Pattern: Sporty Raglan Baby Cardigan by me.

Size: 6-12 months

Yarn: Caron One Pound
Content: 100% Acrylic, worsted weight
Color: 508 Sky Blue

Yarn: Big Twist Value Solids

I wanted something a little more masculine to make for KnitWits and came up with this idea loosely based on a lettermans jacket. The sweater is in 2 sizes, 3-6 and 6-12 months, and knit from the top down. So no sewing seams. Intarsia is used to knit the yoke/sleeves part. When you get to the bottom of the armholes the sleeves are put on markers to hold until later while the body is finished. The sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and knit in the roun. I used the 2-circular needle methode, but any method can be used.



The collar, bottom welt, sleeve cuffs, and button bands are done in 1 by 1 rib. 



It takes 5 half to three quarter inch buttons.



It's not a hard pattern, and it knits up pretty fast. I've put the free pdf pattern on Ravelry in my store. Click this link to get it: Sporty Raglan Baby Cardigan



As for the layette set? I'm almost done with it. I've got the matching hat and one bootie finished already. I need to put the holes around the edges of the blanket fabric so I can crochet the border.



You'll be seing this again when I've finished the whole set.

Zoey Has A Wardrobe

I finally got an opportunity to take pics of Zoey in her new sweaters that I've knit for her.

Sweater 1



Pattern: Dogosaurus Rex by Patons
Made For: Zoey

Size: Large

YarnUniversal Yarn Uptown Worsted
Content: 100% Acrylic
Color: 311 Cherry

Needles: Circular size 5 and 6

Started: December 4, 2017
Finished: December 30, 2017

Comment: I used the Dogosaurus Rex pattern but didn't put the spikes on the sweater. The booklet this pattern is in, titled Another Dogs Life, is out of print. I found it on Ebay.

As with any dog sweater pattern, adjustments have to be made because no two dogs have the same size and shape of body. I made adjustments so it would fit her.

Zoey LOVES the sweater. She was so excited the first time I put it on her. She knows it's hers, and she believes she's gorgeous in it. I agree with her.



It is the first dog I've met that actually enjoys wearing a sweater.



I'm so glad I made it for her.

Finished: January 11, 2017

Comment: First of all, I decided to try my hand at knitting this in the round, instead of flat. It took some figuring, but I managed to do it and I really prefer it. I shall do it in the round from now on. I love the Shimmer yarn. It softened up very nicely after washing, and knit well. Though it doesn't show in the pictures, there's a shiny gold thread in the yarn.



Zoey looks especially good in pink.



She makes a good model too. Loves to mug for the camera.



Lets go play in the filthy snow!



Doncha just want to snorgle that face?



I dug in my stash and found the perfect yarns for another Zoey sweater. Woo hoo!

Live long and prosper. \\//

Newsy Stuff

I'm gonna blog about cooking. For Christmas, my daughter and son-in-law sent me a Kitchenaide Stand Mixer. I am very greatful for it. I've wanted on for a long time but could not justify the expense. I had a hand mixer that worked perfectly fine. So when a huge heavy box with my name on it was delivered by UPS, I was mystified and completely surprised when I opened it. It's not just a Kitchenaide, it's PURPLE!


I wanted to try it out right then, however, we had a large quantity of Christmas baked goods to eat up first. It would be silly to start baking cakes with all that still needing to be eaten, so I waited. We finally finished it all off.

Last Saturday there were 2 very brown bananas in the fruit bowl, so I decided to try out the mixer. I made a banana cake. Wow! Is it ever nice. The mixer, that is. Well, the cake was nice too. It was delicious. But I'm talkin' mixer here. It was so nice to not have to hold on to the mixer and the bowl and it was so quiet. I was able to gather ingredients while it was going. It mixes beautifully too. I love it. Wow, why didn't I get one sooner?

On Sunday I decided to try making my very first souffle. Dan and Sue were here helping sweet hubby build an office in the loft of the garage/shop. I asked them to stay for dinner. I filled the crock pot up with beef stew makings. I needed something to go with it though. I had a loaf of raising bread dough (from the freezer-no bread kneeding for me that day). I wanted something more. I'd never made a souffle before. Don't know why. Just never thought of it I guess. I had all the ingredients on hand, so I didn't even have to go to the store. Hurray!

I used the mixer to whip the eggs "until stiff, but not dry". I made the white sauce, then put all the ingredients together-- egg yolks, a bit of cheese, and then I folded those beautifully whipped egg whites in. I baked the souffle and it came out perfect!



It was so tasty too. Everything was so good. There were no leftovers from that meal.

By the way, souffles are pretty easy to make. I used the recipe in my Joy of Cooking book. Easy, and so very delicious.

I have finished characters 5 and 6 in my Star Trek cross stitch project.



This is Amanda and Sarek, Spocks parents. Aren't they cute? The next character is a Romulan.

Live long and prosper. \\//

2017 Knitting In Review

2017 was a productive year. I have a total of  55 projects in my Ravelry notebook. All of them are small, but I've really really enjoyed them. Admittedly, 9 of them were crochet. Here's a list of all I made.

Knitting:
5 pairs childrens mittens
1 pair mens mittens
9 baby cardigans
9 baby hats
9 pairs of baby booties
1 single bootie replacement
1 pair of mukluks
1 dog sweater
1 doll 2-pc set
2 doll dresses
1 doll skirt
3 doll short sleeve tops
2 doll hats

Crochet:
9 baby blanket edgings
1 toilet paper cover

Should you be interested in seeing them all, go here:  2017 Finished Knitting

Of all the projects, I think my favorite is the pink doll dress with the fur yoke.



My favorite layette set was this one. I love the color combination.



I did have a goal last year to get into making fairisle mittens. Clearly, that got tossed by the wayside after the first pair. I was just enjoying the layette sets too much.

This year about the only goals I have is to make Zoey some sweaters, and to make as much for KnitWits as I can. I've already got the first layette set almost done, and I finished a sweater for Zoey last week. I hope to blog about them soon. I've got yarn picked out for the next dog sweater too.

I also have the baby cardigan sweater pattern almost finished. Soon it will be on the pattern blog.

The weather has been cold and wet. We got a big bunch of snow a few days ago, and then it warmed up and rained. Today it was a beautiful sunny day with an unseasonably warm breeze coming from the south. Our temperatures are predicted to be all the way into the 40's over the next few days. The annual January thaw has arrived! Here's to hoping all of the snow goes away before winter returns.

Live long and prosper. \\//
