Adorable baby gift…cardigan and bonnet by Sirdar

January 27, 2014 by shelley

I decided to make a cardigan and sweater for a baby gift to Ellen Riley’s first granddaughter.  (Karen’s baby Emerson…Karen is my daughter Jennifer’s good friend and has been ever since they were tiny children.)  I found the pattern to knit  this beautiful cardigan and bonnet by Sirdar (It can be found on the  internet at Patternfish…sorry…this one I cannot share for free.) But I will say it does work up very quickly.  It took a bit of a learning curve for me since this was the first time I worked with English abbreviations (as in Great Britain- English) not American knitting abbreviations.  But thank goodness for the internet.

Sweetheart sweater for sweetheart Caroline.

November 5, 2013 by shelley

Having already made a sweater for my grandchildren Becca, Henry and Jack (last year) I decided it was time to get out the knitting needles again.  Caroline has not received one so I decided hers would be the first one I did this time around.  I found an adorable sweater and hat called Sweetheart Sweater Set (the knitting pattern is a free download).  (Or here’s a pdf copy of  sweetheart sweater set knitting pattern).
