Baby Bernie "V" approaching the finish line..........

Whew!!!!!! I think I have finished. I am working the final sample in Cabin Fever Denim Tweed, the pattern is being twigged as I knit each and every row. I will miss you Baby Bernie "V". By the next posting, you will be photographed, delivered to Deb, and will likely have a new name. I have some suggestions "Baby Bernie V", "Little Man", "Bernie", "Baby BBD", "Baby Bear", etc. etc. I will consult with the Cabin Fever Sisters before the final name is selected, and it may be something entirely different. As always I will give you up like a child leaving home for the first time. Will Miss you "Baby Bernie V".
Onward and Upward

Baby Bernie "V" continued ..........

...................... Collar Up!................

................Collar Down!...............

......................Collar all around!......................

I have not lost my mind, I am just trying to do the fine tuning on the design and trying to cut back on the text in the pattern. Deb, what do you think. And the rest of you, I would like your comments as well. Can I start the cable after the short rows?

Momma Bear Designs as well as Knits. Must go now an walk the dog, that will give me the opportunity to figure it out.

Knitting of the sample is done, now I must sit at the computer, knit and write, re-write and re-write again. Then the pattern will go to Deb, who is really really possessed with doing it right so that all you knitters out there can enjoy yet another Cabin Fever No Sew pattern and knit with ease and enjoyment. And the best part is 'when you are done, you are done.' I hate sewing up projects after enjoying the knitting to the tenth degree.

I have been on holiday this week from my job that I do mainly so that I can build my stash, knit my face off and join my knitting friends in such spaces that the picture above reveals. This Tuesday, Deb and I travelled to Huntsville and spent time in Sheepstrings. We had the opportunity to see Designs in Progress by Karen and Dana, that was very interesting. It is amazing how the Friends of Cabin Fever are the same only different. Dana, Karen, Deb, and myself had a good day, I bought yarn and am now working on another pair of socks, what else is new.

Then we travelled back to Huntsville today (Thursday) joined Karen, Dana, Lynda and Deb for a great dinner, and then we joined Karen's Stitch and Bitch knitting networking session. Lynda displayed her Baby V pattern and tiny socks that will match; the colour choice was amazing and the cardigan was adorable. I met some new knitters. Look at that picture of the shop, how much fun and touchy feely opportunities do you see. Love it and the creativety that abounds. Back to work Monday.

Until Next Time:

Up to my (V)knees in Deb's Baby "V"

Working on Baby "V" Top Down Cardigan is fun and challenging. I know that the pictures look somewhat like Baby "K" and the colour doesn't help but it is different. The cable/eyelet/twist stitch forms a baby style cable.
The sleeve will have a cable down the centre. That will take a little extra pattern detail but I truly think it is worth it.

The Front button band is garter stitch but has a k2 (RS) and p2 (WS) which seems to take away the pulling up of the edge. At least it looks like that now. The pulling up of the edge of garter stitch trim has always been the reason why I don't choose it very often. But I do like it and besides it helps when counting the ridges between the buttonholes.

The bottom will also have a garter stitch edge. I hope that this will give it a more boyish look while still working for the beautiful baby girls out there that all the grammas love to knit for.

I know grammas love to knit for the handsome baby boys too.

Signing out I remain..........

April Showers bring May Flowers

I guess I forced spring with a little too much gusto!! Floods, oh my Gawd, Floods, Rain, Melting Snow. The melting snow is good, but the floods----- give me a break. I wanted Spring not the need for an ARK to get around. Fortunately we live on pretty high ground so we are fine.

Soooooo I changed the blog colour to Blue for the April Showers, hopefully just showers, not downpours. Looking forward to May and May Flowers.

Still Knitting (Designing) Deb's baby V. and looking forward to meeting with the other "Friends of Cabin Fever" to see just what all their creativity brought out for the new baby booklet. I have worked my design out and am now knitting, then will come the writting, not so much fun.

Will post a picture (s) very soon.

Frogging in the Spring

Baby "V" first try will be frogged, I already have decided on a change. This one will be the preemie size just to speed the process. Sometimes small is better. Deb has already done the #'s so it should be easy to write in the larger sizes, I hope. And, Butterscotch is pushing me for a manly jacket and the preemie will fit him real nice.

Re-Designing of Deb's Baby "V"

No Comment as I am a firm believer in the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words". I have been far to chatty lately. Don't want to talk any more today.

Baby "V" (Working Title Only)

My Name is Butterscotch and I am going to ask MommaBear if I can have this sample when it is done. I am tired of that cute girly pinky tourquoise Baby "J". I am a man after all.

Tired of the Winter

It is storming big time in Ontario

I am tired of Snows, Blows, and Woes

I want some green

I changed my template to a different colour

Hope it helps.

In the meantime, MommaBear will Tout

Remember my Crocheting

Well the crocheting is done, now I am weaving. I have made several of these throws, usually in a plaid colour way but this one is just two shades of denim yarn. I love denim.
