Music Motif


Here is the music motif I finished this afternoon, I am working on the border (piano key border) now. If anybody has any ideas on what I can finish the edges with I would like to hear. I thought about scalloped edging but was not sure.

Motif and Baby Sweater/ Mary Jane set

I know this is my knifty knitter blog but I have so many blogs right now it is hard to keep up with each one. So you will have to forgive the lack of knifty knitter items right now, but I did scarves... and everything else last year and now they are all making there own scarves so I had to think of something new.
Here is my motif, I have been trying some new crochet items. I am thinking about Christmas gifts now, and I know when Zechariah gets here I will not have any time between taking care of him and Micaiah.
Well, If you haven't heard I found out I am having a BOY!!!! His name is Aiden Zechariah, he will go by Zechariah. We are sticking with all prophets for the boys and I get to pick the girl names. I guess my crochet dresses will have to stay packed up or be given as gifts. I have made one more girl item, it is a yellow picot sweater and mary janes. I will probably hold off on making any more girl clothes unless I have a gift to get ready for but I knew if I was having a girl I would not want to work on Christmas gifts.
I am working on another crochet project I will post it when I am finished with it. But anyways here is the motif and the baby sweater and mary janes. Hope you enjoy.

Baby dresses

Well I have been working on some projects and finished them wanted to share them with you all. For those who know I am expecting (we do not know the sex of the baby yet, I just wanted to try something different from scarves and hats.)
The peach dress I started last night and finished this morning, it worked up very fast. The pattern had a white/cream dress with the ruffle collar a different color. It is suppose to fit a newborn to a couple months old. The yarn is Bernet baby yarn. The green ribbon was all I had that some what matched the peach I am wanting to get some peach ribbon to go in for the belt. Here is the pattern:

The purple dress I was practicing on, I crochet really tight so I went up 2 sizes on my needle, but with this yarn it does not pull as tight as the other so I could have used the needle they called for. I have added a ribbon tie on the dress to bring in the sides a little so it is a little more fitted. The yarn used on this is the baby bee baby chenille. I really liked working with this yarn, I just wish it was not so expensive. Please let me know what you think of the dresses. Here is the pattern:
