Knitting: Baby Things

[i_descend]

Still no baby. We were sooo sure it was going to be this weekend. So instead of a baby update, we'll have "Liz's Knitting Theater!".

oh god, the reindeer booties...

[i_descend]

Actually, they are supposed to be bunnies, but honestly I never thought they looked very rabbit like. I can totally see reindeer though. Maybe I should experiment with knitting add on antlers. Mostly I knit them because I thought the sheep were so cute that I had to try some of the pattern variations.

Those are some cute booties.

I noticed that we were the only people on LIVEJournal that had "Dunn bros." as interested, which made me think we must be some special gals.

Mind if I add you?

[i_descend]

I don't mind at all. =)

Awesome! *adds*

I had some Dunn Bros. today. It was amazing. :D

How adorable is that!?!?!?!

I know!!! I kept getting the awwwws just knitting them. I think I showed half the city the bumble bee booties and hat.

I can't tell you how impressed I am. I'm just trying to make a dish cloth right now and it's slow going, and it's the easiest pattern possible. How long did it take you to make all that?

Thank you!

The booties take me about two days a pair. The hat one day, maybe two. the sweater took longer, but I kept putting it down and coming back to it, but probably a week or two total. I've been doing this for a while now, so I've gotten pretty fast. You'll get faster, and it'll get easier. I swear!

I'm working on an aran sweater for John. If I'd worked diligently on it, it would have taken me about a month. Maybe less. I'm too easily distracted.
