Yay - matching socks!

I'm going into production of cute baby socks - place your orders now!

Preston's Space Invader Jersey! COMPLETE!

YAY! It's finished and it's so cute! Here are some photos, and now I'm powering my way through some matching socks.

Preston's knitted pants - modelled

Remember the pants I knitted for Preston a few months ago? Well I finally got around to sewing the elastic around the waistband and now he has a pair of (probably very itchy) woolley pants!

I have been a bit unsure about whether I like them, but they do go well with cute red boots and a red top.

Preston wore this outfit to a party at Andrew's house, and lots of people commented on how cool his pants are! So they must be ok after all.

I'm entering a knitting competition!

One of the knitting sites I read www.knitty.com is having a photo competition for a 2008 calendar with photos of things people have made using their patterns. I got my fancy sock pattern and the space invaders pattern from there, so I'm going to take some creative photos and submit them! I've nearly finished the space invaders jersey so will get Preston to model it while he's playing with the nintendo or something. How exciting!

Space Invaders Jersey!

Isn't this cute? This is the back of the jersey. The front will have a game shot with all the rows of space invaders and the rocket shooting them. I'm really pleased with how it is turning out.

Finished: Orange/Grey Jacket

Well the picture makes it look yukky so I'll have to take another with Preston modelling it. Finally finished it today - it's been a great project for taking time out on other more complicated projects (eg my socks and pink jersey). I've got 2 balls of wool left so I might make a beanie for Preston.

Project updates

No pictures today, but really just for my reference, here are my project updates:

Space Invaders Jersey: even though I have so many projects on, I couldn't resist starting a Space Invaders jersey for Preston. I've only done 2 rows, but I know it's going to be very cute!

Fancy Socks: nearly finished the first sock - it's half way along my foot so far.

Preston's orange/grey norweigan cardigan: completed the back and nearly finished one front. I've made the arms too long so I guess they'll roll up.

Pink jersey for me: I've done about 10cm which isn't bad considering that each row is several hundred stitches and increases every second row, and that each row includes the back, sleeves and front all in one go. Haven't worked on it for a couple of weeks now.

White crochet cardigan from last year: still haven't brought myself to figure out the sleeve transition, but once i get that sorted I can get it finished. One day.
