This summer I had a bit of a slump in knitting but that has definately ended. A few weeks back I picked up a kntting book at my local library and I quickly knitted up a couple of simple bibs for my baby. That was when the knitting bug bit me again and bit hard! I’ve been on a knitting frenzy now. I’m in various stages of several projects and getting ready to plan even more. Perfect timing too since fall is only days away now. I’ve since gone back to the library and checked out more books on knitting. One of these books has my kids all excited. It is a book called World of Knitted Toys by Kath Dalmeny
. This book is chock-full of little toy animals and dolls you can knit. The theme of the book is all about animals and people from around the world. For example, in the jungle, down on the farm, and the deep blue sea. All of the knitted toys are so cute and the patterns are fairly simple and straight forward. I’m pretty excited because my baby’s first birthday is this month and I started work on knitting her the baby spider monkey pattern that is in this book. My baby girl, Princess A as I shall call her, loves Curious George so I think she will get a kick out of this little monkey I’m making for her. I’m about 2/3 of the way through the pattern. Her birthday is rapidly approaching so it is almost time for a knitting marathon weekend so I can complete it in time. All my other projects are on hold so I can finish this one.
Tomorrow I plan to post about my lastest obsession….. Until next time
