...to our newest granddaughter! Adelyn Claire Smith made her grand entrance Mon. April 22 at 6:50am, weighing in at 11 lbs 4oz. Whew! And the sweetie has us all in love with her. She's healthy & happy and Mom & Dad are both fine. Just tired.
The next few pairs of mittens are finished. The pair on the left still need to be washed. I put them through a regular cycle with my laundry. They're knitted firmly enough that they don't shrink but lightly full and the fabric softens up a bit. These mitts are sturdy and perfect for everyday use whether shoveling snow, doing chores or just out for a walk in the winter. Loving watching the rainbow grow. I've got so many lovely colours dyed up and am having a hard time choosing which colour to do next.
In between pairs of mitts, I'm working on other projects that need to be done. Right now, the project of the week is a crocheted blanket for Adelyn's other grandma. This blanket has farm animals crocheted in a soft worsted weight yarn. This will live at Grandma's house when Addie comes over. They live just around the corner, so that will be often, I'm sure. :) Addie is about a 10 min drive from us, so she'll be a frequent visitor here as well. I'll post a picture of the blanket later today (when the littles are sleeping). It's in the early stages and has about 6-7 balls of yarn hanging off it. Not something I want to pull out with two active little guys ready to pounce and "help".
It's a beautiful sunny day and my guys are asking to go back outside to play. Lots of fresh air and running around means they conk out fast at naptime.
Til later.....
