Kitty sweater
I knit this Intarsia kitty sweater for my first granddaughter, Mia! It's knit with Brown Sheep Wildfoote yarn. Who says sock yarn is just for feet?! It's warm and machine washable. Kitty is knit to resemble Mia's real kitty, Lola.
Cotton "Scooter" Sweater
Cotton Sweater with Scooter buttons. Mia will have to grow a bit for this one!
Hats for Mia
I found some great stretchy yarn for hats at Imagiknit Yarn shop in San Francisco.
It's Needful Dubai Stretch yarn. This and some double point needles made for some fun and easily knit hats.
Infant socks
All that leftover sock yarn I had was perfect for tiny socks. The red/white/grey striped ones are just like Mia's mommy's socks. Awwwww!
Mia's Baby Blanket
Personalized blankets.
It's hard to see, but "MIA" is embossed in the white band of this pink blanket knit with Berroco Cotton 100 yarn, which is sadly discontinued. My Grandson, Hayden's favorite blanket is a red one just like Mia's. Hayden is so attached to his that he still sleeps with it. Almost 4 years of dragging around and multiple washings. Hayden's blanket now has patches made from whatever yarn was in my knitting bag when I was visiting. He loves his blanket - patches and all! And I love Hayden and his brother, Jack just as much as I love Mia!

Handspun living room throw
Hand spun and knit living room throw.
This was such a fun project! I spun the yarn on my Schacht spinning wheel out of various merino rovings in my stash, trying to match the color scheme of the area rug in my daughter and son-in-law's home. As I spun the yarn, I knit it up and then added 4 large tassels at each corner. It's used daily and still in great shape.
(mental note: I need to do this again)
