Itty Bitty Longies and a few new colorways

Here are some itty bitty longies for a sweet little babe. I had so much fun making these, they are so sweet and tiny!

A custom colorway for a very sweet mama
And a surprise for that itty bitty babe, a hat knit from the Ky baby ear cozy pattern, soooo much fun to knit and it was a quick knit too! I love longies but it was fun to do something out of the ordinary. Would love to see action pics 'wink wink'

And another colorway from our 'safari' themed stocking, this one is still available at creative mamas congo in a collaboration with chubby cheeks! I have a few more that I will upload tomorrow to share.
As for my WIPs, ah they are many and I feel like I've had a difficult time getting to my knitting lately. Between a teething baby, colds, and a flooded basement I've been getting behind. I am vowing to spend late nights catching up, even if my dear husband hates me for it :)
I am just about finished with Diane's second longies and a good way into little Mia Bella's longies. As for Brieanne's vest I got a few inches into it and realized I had the colors mixed up and was doing the increases incorrectly, so I've frogged it and will be starting over. Thanks for your patience!

Apple Orchard (my personal favorite of the bunch)
Witches Brew
Rose Lake
Jelly Bean Rainbow


Lots of Works in Progress!

Wow things have been crazy around here! I'm back to my full time job teaching kindergarten and trying to juggle kids, housework, work and my wahm business keeps me busy, but I love them all (well except the housework) Anyway here are updates!

Here are a pair of custom longies that I custom dyed the yarn for. The yarn is named after the mamas daughter, Mia Bella. It is one of my favorite colorways that I've done so far and it is done to match some cute dresses. I can't wait to see the whole thing together and it is knitting up nicely so far. I would also love to know where to get such cute dresses! (wink, wink)

I might have to make a similar pair for my own little girls.





Here is a WIP in a droolworthy autumn colorway by midnight spectrum on bfl. This yarn has turned me into a yarn snob, I'm in love with bfl! It is so soft, yet strong, just amazing to work with! I'm in the process of splitting for the legs on these so they look a bit wonky.





The black cherry longies are finished and ready to ship they turned out super cute! I hope their new owner loves them!



Unfortunately I am having camera trouble and wasn't able to get pics of my other two WIPs, a vest for a little boy in some awesome autumn colors, and a pair of preemie longies that I need to get cracking on before their owner gets home from the hospital!

Thanks to all the mamas that I'm working with right now for your patience! I'm really lucky to have such awesome customers, I love knitting for you all :)
