Wee Bean baby sweater




I'd like you to meet my granddaughter Emersyn, now 7 months old! Here she is wearing her 
Wee Bean sweater by Taiga Hilliard Designs knit using Berroco Comfort yarn.
(Yes, it did earn a 3rd place ribbon at last year's Armada Fair here in Michigan)

I have to say Taiga Hilliard Designs are some of my favorite baby patterns to knit.
I also have to say the Berroco Comfort is one of my favorite yarns to knit baby things with.

My son and his wife are college sweethearts (they met while attending Central Michigan University) and  I thought it was appropriate that little Emersyn should have a sweater in the CMU colors!
I think she wears it well :-)


Fire up Chips!

Knitting: Heart Hats for Valentine's Day

Image
 I had a lot of fun knitting the  Heart Pom-pom Hat from Fox & Pine Stitches  for the grandkids for Valentine's Day.  Using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick  yarn made for some warm and squishy hats! This is a lovely free pattern, but I did find the sizing to be a bit small. Modifications to the number of cast on stitches solved that minor issue. These knit up so fast, and is now a go-to hat pattern for me. Check out Fox & Pine Stitches: she has so many cute patterns!    -PattyšŸ’–

My Birthday Dress: Butterick 6674

Image
                                                               My Birthday is a month away, but this is the dress I made to celebrate turning 65.....how did THAT happen?!!  I wanted a cotton day dress to wear for the warmer summer weather, and I feel this is it! I had watched Whitney from TomKat Stitchery on YouTube post a sewalong for this pattern,  and I loved everything about it: -shirtdress style -princess seams -custom cup sizes and -a fit and flare silhouette This 100% cotton fabric with sliced lemons and blue stripes is just quirky  enough for this milestone birthday. And the color scheme is absolutely perfect  for the weekend I'll be spending with my daughters in Ann Arbor: my old stomping grounds as a University of Michigan alum. Although I usually prefer to line my dresses, I wanted to keep this one...

Casual in Linen: Pattern Emporium Low-Ley Cami with Love Notions Allegro Pants

Image
The second outfit I've sewn for my upcoming travels to Napa is my favorite so far,  a cute, casual number made in Robert Kaufman Brussels Washer Linen Blend . This 55% linen, 45% rayon blend was just perfect for this set of garments: cool, drapey, and with a minimal amount of the wrinkling that one finds with 100% linen. I can't say it enough: I sure enjoy sewing with all types of linen these days! Again, the Pattern Emporium Low-Key Cami did not disappoint and was a perfect choice.  Since I had already made this top for my rayon lounge set, this one was a quick make that had already  been adjusted (1/2" removed from front armhole, 2" added to cami length) for the perfect fit. The Love Notions Allegro bottoms have been on my radar for a while now: I've had the pattern printed and ready to sew up for some time. I ordered this linen for exactly this pattern: I wanted to try a pair of the linen joggers that I have seen trending lately. What a fun and easy make, and...
