WIWOW !!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited for this though! I am hoping that it will be a great motivator, and really keep me on the ball and moving forward. So here's what I'm working on this week...

First up... a pair of pants for my store, in a fun new design, that I call "butterfly's and bobbles" I'm hoping to finish these this week, and have a "Christmas in August" stocking for some of the things that I've been working on!

See the little butterfly's on the hip...then the legs will have them on it...but you'll just have to wait for the preview to see what they are going to look like finished!



This is my first post for What I'm Working On Wednesday, thanks to Cute2Carry!

Next up is my charity knitting/crocheting...all on alpaca...the brown and white hat is natural alpaca colors, and is the divine hat pattern, infant version, almost finished but ran out of yarn and haven't attached the new cake yet, and the fingering weight yarn is dyed with blueberry juice! So it has a very light gray, purplish tint to it. It is going to be a super cute pair of baby booties...I'm using the blue steps booties pattern from ravelry...



next up is a couple special projects for my sister...she is moving out of state to go to school in TN and i want her to have some special stuff to take with her...so here's some wool that I had custom dyed for her (superwash) that will be a hat, and convertible mittens (I have another cake.) And, a super special blanket! She wants to work in the music industry, so I designed a guitar graph, and I making her a blanket out of knit squares...the colors are sundrop, and charcoal. There will be guitar, checkerboard, and music note squares. :)







Last is a sweater I'm working on for my daughter...I bought the pattern last winter with the intention of making it, and even bought the yarn, and then never got around to it though! I will be making one for my son too...but after making this one, I'll definitely be making it with some heavy mods! I think it will be super cute when it's done though! Pattern is Anji Beane Springtime Friends Hoodie. I have all the body pieces,and one sleeve done, I just have to do the other sleeve, seam, and then make the hood (I'm picking up and crocheting it, not doing it seperate as written in the pattern.) Then the embellishments. *don't mind the dark area's on the one body piece, my daughter spilled some of my Healing Pixie pregnancy tea on it this afternoon!*










I'm also working on a top secret project, that is almost done. I am hoping to have all of this done, and 2 new things cast on that I want to start by next wednesday! :D
Thanks for looking!
