bichon in a bag
Abby and I have been quite busy lately. Abby was hard at work in my boyfriend's kitchen, shredding a bit more of the phonebook, working a little bit more on the cabinets, and probably practicing 'lie down' in secret. She's such a good girl. I was a little less busy, just working and preparing for Easter. Cary's family came to visit us for the weekend, and we all had a great time. Abby may be going through a little withdrawl.. she was crying as everyone was leaving yesterday. I felt bad and gave her a chewstick to work on this morning, now all is well.
I've been working steadily on the Elizabeth bag, but it looks pretty much the same as my last post. I have about 20 more rounds until the shaping for the top, then hopefully it will begin to look like something. So, how do you spice up a picture of a bag? Put a bichon in it of course!
I'm going to try and finish up the Ribbon Scarf in the next few days. I have 2 or 3 more rows to go, but at over 1,000 stitches per row, it's quite a bit of work. When the scarf and this bag are out of the way, I found out this weekend what my new project will be: a baby sweater! Cary's brother and sister-in-law are expecting, probably in December. Baby clothes! My favorite knitting. Any thoughts on a good unisex sweater pattern?

I hear that Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Surprise jacket is a fun knit, and it could work for either boy/girl depending on color choice.
maybe make a little knit flower and attach it in case its a girl!

Bichon in a bag...new level of cuteness for sure!

Oh the cuteness. It hurts! It hurts!
I love the pics of little Abby.

Too cute! How do you get Abby to do cute stuff like get inside knitted bags?

My favourite baby sweater for gifts is the seamless yoked baby cardi found here (http://knitting.about.com/library/blbabyswe9.htm).
It is a quick easy knit all in one piece (no seaming whatsoever!) and looks like it was harder to knit than it really was. Got to love that!
Cheers!
