This post is about endings and also about new beginnings! Because finishing projects always means the start of new ones...right!?!?!

I have missed the last two yarn alongs.......one week was because of vacation and the next was because of a baby that was teething and wanted to do nothing but be held......so I will catch you up on my knitting projects!

We had a 12 hour drive down to OBX for vacation and that my friends equals alot of knitting time!! Time to finish up on projects!! I finally finished my Mystery Shawl!!! And I love it!! Just in time too as the weather is getting quite chilly here!


I also finished up the babies leg warmers.....I think she needs these in every color!! Too cute!!


On vacation we hit the local yarn shop!! And of course I decided I needed some souvenir yarn to remind me of our trip.....my oldest daughter Emily has a birthday coming up and she picked out some yarn for a cowl she wants, it's this one, Heart Warmer . (which I actually just finished but it is blocking so I'll get photos next week!)

With the other projects done,  I cast on for a pair of socks for me and a little jumper for Hannah Grace. I don't have pics of these projects yet but will share these cute photos of Hannah in her dress that I posted about last yarn along..... I am loving these knit jumpers on her.....so warm and cute!!


No new reading this week.....So excited to head over to Ginny's Yarn Along and see what everyone else is knitting these days!!

I love casting on for new projects.....especially ones that turn out as cute as these did! One thing about knitting for Hannah Grace is that most projects knit up fast.....gotta love that!

I am still plugging along on my shawl and I needed to get going on some favs I have picked out for the baby for this fall......sweaters.....dresses.....hats and leggings! I am also trying to use up stash yarn and not buy any more....(I'll let you know how that goes)



So I cast on this free pattern...anouk as a dress and it turned out adorable! I added the little knitted hearts and just did some free hand stitching to sew them on. The pictures are not that great.....it is pouring rain here today and so dark....I will have to get better ones another time. And it fits her great! So happy with this quick and cute project!


I also cast on for these sweet leg warmers.....I think she will want these in every color! Another free pattern and so easy! We are calling these her crazy legs! Ravelry notes here. I should finish up the other one today!

I'm not reading but listening on my iphone to At knits End....just started but am enjoying it so far! I have never read any of her books but so many of you have recommended them that I thought I'd give it a try.

Joining Ginny over at Small Things for this weeks Yarn Along! Next week I'm on vacation down in the Outer Banks....looking forward to knitting on the beach!! Not sure if I will post from there or not!
