Really, truly, finished!

Sometimes Wal Mart comes thru! Found awesome bags of buttons in all kinds of colors for very cheap. So my first BSJ is done. I have to say I am a little proud of myself as this was the first time I ever sewed buttons and it came out perfectly.

I'm Done!

I have to say, the adult version I made for my 18yo (it fits ME!) was LOT more knitting than the smaller version! It took me FOR ever, but I love how it turned out.

How is everyone doing? I'm going to start #3!

My soon-to-be 18yo wants one too He wanted the colors in my "Merlin" yarn, so I dyed up a bunch of coordinating Full Belly Farm organic...and started.

It will be wee!

Well I haven't finished seaming but it is basically done.  This was so much fun and amazingly satisfying.  I am already planning another one!  It came out fairly small--I used size 4 needles.  I think this would be perfect for 9 to 12 months.

Done with Number 2!

Finished it an hour or so ago! I have to say, it looks nicer in person. It's not quite as contrast-y, and Graydon looks very handsome in it :D

Jacket #2 in Progress

Here is my second one in progress. It seems to be going well!

I am going to go for it! This is my second try at dyeing yarn for my son Graydon. First time, I included some red and he did't like it. He says his favorite colors are grey, black, silver, gold, and bronze. I'm not sure I love this combo. but he says he does! Now to find the time to do another one before April 26th...
