Alaina’s Monkey, originally uploaded by babaknit.

I am trying to remember how to post pictures from flickr to my blog, so this is a test. I made this monkey in 2007 for my Granddaughter’s Christmas. Happy, Happy!

This is my favorite Christmas present this year! Bob made this for me! He is so talented and artistic!

Mary Oakley (Christiana) Bedford, originally uploaded by babaknit.

This is a photo of my Great-Grandmother Mary Oakley Christiana Bedford. She and my Great-Grandfather Edward Bedford had a farm on the Hudson River. Here she is seen feeding her sheep in the pear orchard, Pine Cliff Farm, Stuyvesant, NY. As a matter of fact the sheep in the header photo are also from the same era, same farm.

I’m starting to knit again, real slow so I don’t aggrivate my arm. This is just the right project to start with. Wonderfully soft, squishy purple Merino yarn. Yummy.

Michael’s Baby Blanket, originally uploaded by babaknit.

I wanted to share this photo of a blanket that my grandmother Ruth B. Watts made when I had my first baby. It has been through four babies now, Michael, Liz, Alaina and KC. It is still in beautiful shape. It is pink and blue because back in those days you didn’t know ahead of time if you were having a boy or girl.

Here is the other side. And there is Ozzy on his blanket. I had to move the basket of knitted hats because Ozzy thought it was his new bed!
I have just leaned how to blog through flickr and I love it! It is so easy!!!! The only thing is I can only have one photo per entry… so far. If there is a way to do more I haven’t figured it out yet. Love this!

Here is my new office complete except for the doors. I love the colors and the light through the window. I am now surrounded by my favorite things, my books and knitting needles and yarn. There will be gnomes added to the room once I unpack them.

“If I had to think of the perfect cap in terms of the actual knitting, it would contain no ribbing, no purling, no sewing up, and no gazillion yarn ends to darn in. This cap eliminates all of these and looks great to boot.” From the pattern.

And it was all that! A fun hat to make.

This one is the Easy Roll Brim Knit Hat by Laurie Perry. I made this with a chunky purpley-blue yarn I got at the thrift store. Fun, fast and easy.

The pattern is available for free from Crazy Aunt Purl.

This one fits an adult. I have some vacation pictures on my flickr to share.

more to come……
