James is ten weeks old as of yesterday, and I have in fact managed to knit a few times in the last several weeks — with him sleeping in a wrap on my chest, naturally, as he is a Baby Who Does Not Like To Be Put Down. And that is okay. He is a little baby, so he gets to dictate the terms. At any rate, the Derivative Top (see teensy picture in the sidebar) is finished except for weaving in the ends and blocking, both of which are on my to-do list. Expect a finished object post sometime in the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, I have acquired another vintage Bernat Christmas stocking pattern, this one with candles, trees, and wreaths on it. I got permission from Bernat to post it on my site, so I have added pattern, charts, and tips, all accessible via the Vintage Stocking Patterns link in my sidebar. Enjoy!
He is a very adorable reason for not knitting!
What a cutie! I am also a huge fan of the elephant shirt.
Knit, schmit! Let’s have more baby pix! I love his smiley face and fattening cheeks. He is such a handsome boy. Can’t wait to see him again. And when we do meet again, I’ll hold yours if you hold mine–
So CUTE! Such cute little cheeks!
Ruth! Ohmygoodness! He is adorable. Mine will be here any day. Baby, that is. I just got reinspired to pick up my knitting a decided to visit for inspiration. All the best!
He is absolutely adorable!
That you again for the help on the stocking. It is ironic as the stocking I was asked to replicate is obviously this pattern. But as I didn’t have it, I used the Santa Stocking and recharted the rest. If only I had seen this post a couple of weeks earlier. Here is a picture of my stocking and the original http://www.tadpool.net/Stocking.jpg.
My gauge is a little bigger but considering I didn’t have access to the yarns she used, I am happy. Finding the red beads was the hardest part, but finally at Michaels I found round “berry-like” beads.
Absolutely ADORABLE baby. I really want to THANK-YOU for posting the instructions and everything for the Bernat vintage stocking (Candle, Wreath, Tree). This has been in our family for a LONG time and grandmother’s old pattern in illegible. THANK-YOU AGAIN and AGAIN!
I need help with Sheldon, I have no idea how to blog, so if you get this please respond to my email address.
I have come to the part of his shell that asks me to crochet, I don’t crochet. what else can I do? or do i just leave it off?
Thank you very much. I was hoping to have it ready for Christmas this year. today is 12/9/09
