This is my first pair of longies. I love how they have a shaped butt.

Here is the first diaper cover I have made. I was inspired by my friend Wendy, who knitted a pair of longies for Ruby. The wool wicks the moisture, and keeps it in the diaper- or at least that is the theory. I haven't put these to the test yet...

Here is one of a series of hats I worked on over the winter. This one is my favorite, although I made a dark green one as well. It is knit in Lamb's Pride Chunky, on #10.5 circular needles, and is rather cozy in the Puget Sound clouds.

These are the socks that I made for Sun back in February or so. He loves wearing them! Now that I am getting the hang of this, I am looking forward to making him some more, because they are so small & work up so quickly.

These are the latest project that I have been working on. It took me just about forever to work out the design of the toe- custom built :) The decreases on either side that I used for Sun's sock made my feet feel compressed, so I tried a different angle, so to speak. These socks are knitted with thoughts of my friend Lena, at who's house I worked & reworked so many rows.

The second of the set is working up quickly. I made a lot of progress at Grandma Helen's house. I hope to finish it soon so I can get started on a pair for Matt.

I finished a second set for Sun, as well. Maybe I will get a picture of those today. He is wearing them as I type...

Here is the Sunchild modeling my latest take on the chunky hat. I used some wool that I spun & dyed when I was living in BC. It was a royal pain to knit with- it really was spun with weaving in mind. The brim was dyed with saskatoon berries & the top is dyed with onion skins.

It is too big for the Sunchild, but the colors look better on him than they do on me.
