Eliz Zimmerman for the Twins

It's so easy to be creative with the Baby Surprise Jacket.   The identical twins are not dressed in identical outfits, so I used a variety of colors, added a little fun fur and cute buttons for these sweaters.   

Happy New Year / New Decade

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year--  Christmas gifts finished-well almost (still have to refine a crochet bag)  so I'm posting pictures of some of the items that were given away

Audrey's sweater: my design and the pattern will be available soon.  Knit in Vanna's Choice- easy care and quick to knit. 

Neck wrap-- Ivory Aran wool

Lucious Laces from Ravelry -- I added beads on one side

Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket- So much fun and amazing to do. 

This was knit in Baby Bamboo by Sirdar

Making discoveries

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving

I have discovered a few knitting groups in the area over the last few weeks  There is the knit night at the local pub (every other Monday night) and Anita's place "The International Knitting Studio".  Anita is a jewel- a woman who has knit most of her life, and is willing to share all her knowledge in her charmig way.  Kind, friendly and patient in all that she does.   I also joined the Newcomer Club and they have a knitting group also.  

Knitting update:
Surprise Baby Jacket-from the Opinionated Knitter by Elizabeth Zimmerman- Yarn BabyBoo/Sidkar in pink, lilac and turquiose. Absolutely loved making this - great to see how a strange shaped piece could be transformed into a lovely jacket
Finished some xmas gifts today- can't post them till after the 25th of course. 

By the way- my laptop is driving me crazy-every other key stroke is NOT showing on the screen!!Do I have some kind of bug?  I'm going to leave this sentence uncorreced  (See what I ean? that's mean!!)
