Well since I don't have access to a library around here (well I could get to it, but I'd have to catch the bus to the other end of
Plainville), and can I just say, I miss my books... most of my down time these days is spent knitting, well
crocheting mostly. Since my knitting needles are all still in storage and I didn't want to buy a whole new set I just got one set of double pointed needles and a couple of crochet hooks along with some pretty wool. My first project was a pair of pants for Lexie.
They turned out OK especially since I didn't have a pattern.
Second
attempt was a pair of shorts in the same pattern.
Next I wanted a challenge so I thought I'd try a pair of socks. it took a couple of attempts to get them to fit properly so I
amide a
Lexie sized paire to start with, them moved up to a Jenny sized pair.
I attempted a couple of skirts. but only one turned out right and even that one's too big so its going to have to wait till next year to see if really works as a skirt.
I then started on a couple of jumpers, these turned out m
uch better if I do say so myself, though that may have something to do with the fact that I had a pattern for these. The second one is a bit big but I'm sure she'll grow into it sooner or later.
Excuse the model, she wasn't being very co-operative this morning when I tried to take the photos.
Yesterday I was sick of being at home with a squally child so I decided to try another bus expedition. We went bigger this time and did a
transfer off our bus line and down to Emerald Square Mall. The trip went find, we managed the bus transfer without too many problems.
After wandering around the mall for a while it was time for Lexie to have a nap so I headed outside and walked down the road to the Target,
Babie's r Us and Best Buy (
Electronics store) Lexie was asleep before we'd gotten out of the Mall car park and she slept for just over half an hour which is all I seem to get at the moment. We then headed back to the Mall and found the play area where Lexie was able to get out and have a play with the other kids. Once again she was in her element.We really have one social baby here!

Wow,you've been a busy lady. Love all the stuff made so far. The picture of Lexie and your socks is gorgeous. Do you want a recipe for toe socks as I have one here. It's a knitting pattern though, so might have to wait until your needles get out of storage.
I love the second jumper too, although I'm not quite sure about the green and pink combination :P
I'd love the toe socks pattern. Does it need double pointed needeles, cause I have those, that how I made the socks.
