Little Mary Jane Footsies

For Christmas Windy gave me a subscription to Creative Knitting magazine. Each issue has had something I wanted to make. The latest project I chose was Mary Jane Footsies for my sweet granddaughter Ember. Thanks to my Knit Wits buddy Nancy, I got past the dreaded "pick up stitches" part of the pattern.

Christening Wardrobe

This scarf is made to match the Edwardian Carrying Cape (see October 17, 2007) and is for Windy to wear on the special day. It's made with the left-over yarn using the same lace border pattern.

Big Boy Afghan

I started this in early 2007 and intended it for a gift for my son-in-law on his birthday March 28th. Lots of things happened on the way to the party. For one thing...it turned out to take longer than I thought. Then I lost the crochet hook and couldn't remember what size I was using. Then my kids started having babies and a whole new world of knitting and crocheting opened up. A couple of months ago, I decided to finish this for Chris' birthday in March 2008. Missed that deadline too. But I finally finished it this weekend. I won't wait until the next gift-giving event (Father's Day). I'll just give it to him tomorrow. Happy Magic Monday!
