Monsters!



A few days ago I stayed in all day with a cold. Who gets sick in the middle of summer anyways? Although I was miserable, it allowed me the opportunity to finish up two of my knitting projects. And that means that I now have some new photos to share!

First up...


Monsters Up high framed

The knitted monsters! They are done! Aren't they cute?
My daughter is pretty happy with me for finally sewing these up for her.

I really enjoyed this pattern. These monsters are so hilariously cute and
I love that there is both a Mama and baby. So sweet.
The pattern is called "Daphne and Delilah" and can be found HERE.

Looking at monsters framed

My daughter has declared these as "her new best knitted toy." Cant beat that.

I just love making toys. Especially ones with attitude.

  10. I wanted to see these finished, but then, up creeps my son and I hear his voice, "I want one of those! Can I have one of those? Could you make me some of those, only with the stripes a little different...." Here we go! Thanks, a lot! :)
    But, really, they turned out wonderfully!

  18. Too cute, I saw these on your ravelry page and bought the pattern, sooo many ideas already for additions and change ups to the basic idea, this is going to be fun, and believe me I have the stash to be really creative. Also, not to be a copy cat but I also bought the beekeeper's quilt pattern, love the little flower details, and the colors you are using fit right it with my living room, (hint hint), just kidding! I hope all is well with you and yours, how about buying Ranch Dog Knitting and keeping a yarn store in town ;) toodles, paula
