~"Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~"
**I'm sorry for linking multiple times, I was working on my mobile device and it went whacko and I couldn't get it to erase the first link up! **
**First, I need your help! About 2 Yarn Alongs ago, someone posted a link to a beautiful toddler cardigan that they made for their daughter. It was rainbow colored and lovely. I remember it had a link to a pattern. I cannot find it for the life of me, so if this was you or you remember it, please let me know? I would love to make that for my Wee Girl. Thanks!**
Off the needles and STILL on the baby girl:

OFF THE NEEDLES:

| Using my hand dyed yarn Man of Constant Sorrow I knitted my sweet (YO) girlfriend, who is expecting her sweet baby at the end of the month, a newborn hat. It looks HUGE here but trust me, it is teeny. I double stranded with some brown Fisherman's Wool for this hat. I planned on making her a pair of longies to match but I messed up on the gauge, and instead (following pic) ended up with a pair for my sweet Willow instead. I hope to still make her longies if I have enough Merino left over :) |

| Willow's longies. Just a bit more on the leg and then the end is in sight! So warm and toasty for this wonderful cool fall here in the Ville |
