45 comments


Excitement again! Harry and I are about to become Great Grandparents once more! Some you may remember our first Great Grandson Samuel who was born in March this year, There is a Blog and pictures of Samuel on my site.
Well here we are again, this time waiting to welcome the arrival of Isabella our Great Grandaughter due any day now!
The last few months have been very busy for me and my knitting needles lol
First of all knitting lots of little garments and toys for Samuel incuding a Teddy and Percy Penguin and here I am again having just finished another lot of garments and toys for Isabella which I thought you may also like too see.

Hurry up Isabella, We can’t wait to be friends

The Garments.

Well thats all the knitting finished for the time being, whatever will I do withou my wool and Needles LOL

Maybe time to get out my paint brushes again!

If Isabella could see all those toys she wouldn't delay another day! You have been busy, I love that little stripey top with the hood and the 'cat' jumper. Look forward to seeing the new arrival soon :)

Hi Carole, those needles have certainly been flying and you`ve made a wonderful collection, cant wait to see Isabella wearing them.

7 Jun, 2012

 

Pansy did you have a pattern for the first little jumper with the cat face, my goddaughter is expecting in november and she would absolutly love that one....., I've done quite a few of the one with the hood, what a brilliant idea to do coloured stripes, I,m knitting it in cream at the moment andjust 2 buttons on the garter stitch bit.

As to toys have youseen the jean greenhowe books, the christmas ones are really good, the snowman in the top hat with odd socks and shoes is lovely, and the stockings are good.....even a bootee for babys first christmas.......and tiny angels..... (why am I thinking of christmas for heavens sake...is June!)

There lovely,not done any knitting for years use to be knitting every night, years ago, but find these days can buy sweaters etc cheaper than knitting them, although these what you have done are beautiful, and really you can't beat handknitted things can you.

7 Jun, 2012

 

Congratulations is in order! Oh wow! They are beautiful! Well done Carole! Isabella is one very lucky baby and Samuel too, bless them! :)))))

Pam I got the pattern from a Libary book Im going to see if I can find who the Author was, there were so many beautiful patterns and ideas in the book, will get back to you;0)

7 Jun, 2012

 

Thanks Pansy, my goddaughter and her partner don't want to know so its cream/ white etc.she doesn't like the greens or yellows.
Your little things are really nice I,ve an old black & white pattern book with vests and leggings but also a little dolman sleeved cardigan that you knit mostly all in one, ideal for tiny babies as you can get the arms in easily I do like doing little things.
