One of my better gift ideas, I must say - definitely not the “usual” - no fear that someone else would be giving her (great-niece who got one 2 years ago for her birthday) one!

If anyone is interested, here are the Egg Apron pattern links:

CHILD
Egg-cellent Child Size Apron
https://hearthookhome.com/egg-cellent-child-size-apron/

I pretty much made the pattern as printed, with the exception of the apron “straps” for tying on. I made a separate (really cute) waistband/straps, then slip stitched it on. It is very sturdy (an apron full of eggs can be heavy!!) and not super stretchy so it holds the apron up really well.

Those pocket shawls are so handy. Love them. :)

Thanks or the pattern I’ll tuck it away as I don’t know of anyone with chickens that could use one.

well guys I’ll quit trying I hate to make a bunch of posts with silly icons that don’t show anything

[Qiviut]

Here 'ya go!

Very nice sweater!

[Persevero]

Forgive me for taking up space but how did you do that??

That’s the Elizabeth Bennett Tee, y’all, made with Zooey yarn, Juniper Moon, which I just love. A cotton/linen blend.

With leftovers I am making a baby sweater which I’ll post next month if I can figure out how to wield your magic posting wand

Here is the code I used, but I have to change it a little or all you'll see is the picture:

[img src="https://i.postimg.cc/MKhxVmZt/2021-Bennett-Sweater.jpg" height="420"width="315">

Change #1 Replace [ at beginning & end with <

Change #2 After the "315"> add this: [/img] but replace the [] with <>

To test, just "preview" your post - if you see the picture, you're 'good'!

[Qiviut]

Oops Change #1 should say this:

Change #1 Replace [ at beginning with <

Change #2 is what goes at the end

Wow! Impressive. Just gorgeous! :)

[Persevero]

Thanks Diana! I have wanted to share for so long. Glad to have had help posting the pic.

I love making wearable items. Listening to books on tape or podcasts while knitting is definitely a happy place

My first socks made using the sock knitting loom I got for Christmas. They fit quite well.

A recent Infinity Scarf creation using a 'Mandala' yarn roll and a Red Heart yarn pattern; just a simple double crochet.

Wow, those are fabulous!

Good grief I am excited I have tried to post images to FR every which way and never succeeded. Hats off to Qiviut! The above are what I call "Diaper Pin baby socks," a pattern I have modified so much I call it my own. I have a little kit I carry around here and there, and use diaper pins for the stitch holders and to measure. Great way to use up small mounts of yarn.

[Qiviut]

Yay for you!!! Woo hoo ... your pic made my day! Love the baby socks - so cute. :-)
