Wow! has it really been a month since my last post? Well, it has been a full month. I will start with me most exciting news first. I now have two babies to knit and sew for. My sister-in-law and one of my best friends each had a baby. Two girls born a day apart. So, I have been trying to churn out baby stuff for the last 3 weeks. I have a couple of things I like to make for new babies and their mommies. First is a nursing cover:
The other thing I like to make are car seat canopies. They are basically blankets with straps for infant car seats. I used Rachel and Nicholas' tutorial for a guide line.
In addition to these staples I have been working on a quilt, two baby sweaters and a baby hat.
I love making things for babies! The purple sweater is for my friend's little one it is the #36 Baby Cardigan. The orange one is The Hoot Cardigan. I made it with some Spud and Chloe from my stash and had plenty left over for a matching hat.
In other news, I have officially passed all of my exams! I am so happy to never have to take those tests again. I was also invited to go in for an interview for the program this past Friday. I think it went okay. I found out they interview 50 applicants for 20 positions. I figure I have about a 50% chance of getting in this time around, and I am okay with that. My plan B is to simply be a substitute teacher for a year before re-applying. And, of course passing the exams was the new requirement for playing with my Ashford Joy. I now have 4 hand spun skeins of yarn:
I already have plans for a lacy shawl for the two blue skeins. I LOVE my spinning wheel!
Well that is my month in a nutshell. I hope yours was as fulfilling.
