Teeny, tiny bits of knitting

I recently was fumbling with sock yarn and size 0 needles...all so Henry's kitties could be cozy.

My friend Britt came over last weekend and we designed the tiniest little sweater I've ever seen.  I typed up the pattern on the ravelry project page if you are curious.

These are the mommy and daddy kitties of Henry's kitty family.  

When Henry plays kitties,  they do a lot of "seeping,"

going to "tubby" or going potty.  (Going potty involves the kitty standing and smashing into the toilet.  We still have some work to do on potty training the kitties with less violence.)

When I play with the kitties with Henry, they like to hold hands or do a little dance. 
Maybe it is a happy sweater dance?

I think this pattern could work for any of the Calico Critters families.  They all seem to 

have the same body shape.  Getting the sweater over the head and ears and the arms in is a 

challenge.  I can't picture Henry removing these any time soon.  

I haven't tackled the sweater pattern for the little boy and girl of the kitty family yet.  

I think it can wait.  Henry is now more interested in shoving them through the windows 

and down the stairs of the house.  Fun, fun :)

Handknits by Momma

I've shown you some handknits by friends, but very little by me.  Rest assured, my needles have been busy as of late.  Here is the hat I made in February of last year, before Henry was a zygote.  The sweater is another picture of the lovely one from Nicole.

Here is the vest I started after Henry was born.  I love the smile in this picture.  He does that a lot now.

















And, lastly, here is some other fun knitting.  They may look threatening :) but they are only an inch and a half tall. 

Between these little guys and the popcorn, I've been doing a lot of small item knitting with lots of bobbles.  (Here is the link to the pattern.  Be careful, they are addictive.)

I've got another sweater for Henry on the needles and more lovely gifted sweaters so you'll see more handknits here soon.
