Hetty's happy days!: New babies on the horizon

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2014/12/new-babies-on-horizon.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. New babies on the horizon. One of my good friends has her second son due any day now so I've been busy knitting a couple of gifts for her new arrival. This one is knitted in sirdar tiny tots dk, a yarn I'm becoming quite fond of for baby boy knits. It's machine washable too which is always a bonus! This one is in a sirdar baby crofter yarn which is incredibly soft and also machine washable. I loved the way it created soft stripes. Allabout...

Hetty's happy days!: December 2010

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. I hope that you are all enjoying the holidays and that Santa brought you all some lovely presents. The girls had a lovely couple of days - Christmas day at our's and Boxing day at my parents' house. We had a great time - all 14 of us! Leah and Evie enjoyed opening their presents (even if Leah didn't like everything we got - think I should've given her the best presents last. Note to self to do that next year). Evie certainly liked it!

Hetty's happy days!: January 2011

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. Sorry about my absence. I don't know why, but everything has been going wrong lately. For some reason the laptop stopped working and had to be sent back to the manufacturer (which is why I haven't been around of late). We are also trying to get Evie to go to sleep on her own at night, and a week on it's still as hard as ever. She screams so much, I'm hoping soon it will take less time, less effort and less stress! I made this cardigan for ...

Hetty's happy days!: February 2011

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. Flying off the needles. My sister is expecting her second child in just over a week, so I've been knitting frantically to get a few bits finished for her. I made this little coffee bean cardigan in Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran, which is so soft and just right for a little baby. Finally for her I made this little cardigan, which I have made before for Evie and Leah, and I chose to use something other than pink. I think she likes it! Sift th...

Hetty's happy days!: July 2011

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. A bit of this and that. As you may well know, things are a bit hectic around here with my two very active girls. Not only is Evie into everything, but she also wants to follow her big sister everywhere she goes and do everything she does. So here are a few finished items from the last few months that you might like to take a look at. A little cropped cardigan for Leah. A wonderfully soft baby Kina for a friend's new daughter. I am a 35 yea...

Hetty's happy days!: Some finished knitting

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2011/04/some-finished-knitting.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. It has been a busy couple of weeks here, what with the Easter holidays and Evie beeing poorly. I haven't had much time for blogging, but have managed to finish some baby knits. You just have to be a member of ravelry to get it. Is for Amelia, as long as it fits! I loved knitting the pattern and will definitely be knitting it again. If it doesn't fit her, Lily can have it. I'm sure Anna won't mind too much. Finally I made another cardigan f...

Hetty's happy days!: Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2011/04/chick-chick-chick-chick-chicken.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken. It's Leah's fourth birthday next week so I've been frantically knitting up these. Little chooks to go into her friend's party bags. I wanted to give them something a little bit different to take home and these were just the kind of thing that I wanted. I have sewn up 6 so far, so just have another 10 to go before next saturday. I think I will get there! April 1, 2011 at 9:09 PM. I love all the colors!

Hetty's happy days!: The pattern for the toddler socks...

http://hettysblog-esther.blogspot.com/2009/01/pattern-for-toddler-socks.html

My life, my loves, my family, my thoughts, my hobbies, my crafts. The pattern for the toddler socks. I got around to working out the heel on the larger sock, but if it doesn't work out, just modify it until it does, and let me know any corrections you have! A close up of the toe. The pattern - to fit approx 18 mths. I used a set of 4 2.5mm dpns. Super sock wool which is a 4ply yarn. The tension isn't really important (well I don't think so as kiddies feet are all slightly different). Cast on 42 (48) sts.
