Knitting Passion

So, it’s June . . . the very beginning of June . . . and the knitter’s thoughts turn to what? Well, Christmas, of course!

This is the time of year when I begin to think ahead to what I am going to make THIS year for all of those grandyounguns. When you have seven grandkids, two daughters, a son-in-law and a hubby to plan for, you have to start a bit early.

Of course, thinking and planning sometimes come to naught. I have had THOSE years when NOTHING got accomplished as far as knitting for everyone.

My idea is that just as long as I have something special done for the grands, the rest of them will forgive me. (or not - their choice - grin)

That said . . . is not THIS the cutest???? It’s a knitty pattern and, I’m thinking, PERFECT for the youngest grandson. He’ll be entering kindergarten in the fall and I can just see him wearing this to school.

Now, if I can just see me getting TO it and getting it made.

While you are checking through knitty’s patterns, be sure to check out Babez in da Hood. I am cracking UP at the looks on that little one’s face! S/he looks like something has curled up in his/her tummy and soured in the process. Right? That is some sorta frown on that little guy’s face. Makes me giggle everytime I look at it.

I love the issues of knitty . . . hope you are checking on them, too. The patterns can stretch you and your abilities and give you just that many more things to knit for your family.

Now, off to find things to knit for the other 6 grands, their parents, and their grandpa.

. . . someone tie a piece of yarn around my waist and pull me back out when I’ve been in there too long, okay?
