Time to Start Again...?


OK, I need some inspiration... I need to knit!

A lot has happened since my last post so I'll write a small update. We sold the house that I built the apartment in over the summer so I'm temporarily living in a rental home until I can find another apartment that suits the kids and I perfectly. Although it broke my heart to let the house I grew up in go, it's a fresh start and we're all embracing it. Victor is already in Kindergarden and Ella will be starting Preschool on the 11th this month. I'm working everyday now and time is scarce. I'm also hoping to open up a business after the new year so my mind is cluttered with to-do's and research.


With all that said I really want nothing more then to sit down and start knitting again, maybe even some new pattern writing. Ellie had asked for a sweater last month and promising her that I would, I haven't even browsed patterns yet.


If anyone has recently knitted something for a little girl or seen a pattern lately that you think she might love please leave a comment with a link! She's very vintage and only wears dresses, cardigans, flats and headbands. Getting this girl in jeans with Winter around the corner is a battle in itself. Thank you for your help, I can't wait to get something on my needles. Which is more like, I can't wait to unpack all the boxes that say "YARN"!

Hey Kris, so glad you're back!!! I'm currently working on like sleeves for my littlest one-> http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/like-sleeves-for-kids. You could probably modify it to make a cute dress to be worn with a turtleneck. Also I saw this yesterday on Twitter, you might like...http://www.petitepurls.com/Fall11/fall2011_p_bizzy.html

No need to switch her to jeans-- we wear leggings and legwarmers, cord or twill or jean skirts and dresses, lots of lovely sweaters, and stay toasty warm in the midwest/northern states. The legwarmers and sweaters will keep you knitting for some time :)

Thank you for blogging. The video we watched was interesting and we learned from it. We learned Vimax Pills tips for how to write on people's blogs, like a compliment.
We also learned that if you know something about the topic, you can put it on there if nobody else has written
it. We liked the Vimax suggestion to only use one punctuation instead
of a bunch if you liked it.
