Rebound

The knitting of these pants, or re-knitting rather, is done. They have been seamed and only need to have the elastic put into the waistband. I should get that done today or tomorrow. The size for these capri pants is 12 - 18 months. Black and white works with just about any color. I have plans to knit some with orange and maybe with red. This style has become my favorite and the knitting seems to go faster with the striping.

Due to the CPSIA laws, I am no longer making the t-shirts with heat transfer iron-on. So, I had decided to embroider. Embroidering onto t-shirt fabric, even with the stablizer, was difficult. Look at this try....

It's pretty bad. My next choice is to get fabric and do applique. I will head over to Quiltworks tomorrow to see what I can find. Enjoy your day!

I Present To You an FO

You know, I can really appreciate blogging. It seems to make a girl do what she said she would. I have actually finished these pants in a week's time, because I said I would. Let's see if this type of trend continues. I have LOTS of sock yarn. Maybe this is just the thing to get it out of the bag and onto the needles, and then off the needles and onto some feet. ;)

The ruffles on the behind were fun and interesting. The next time I make a pair in this style, I won't take the ruffles all the way to the sides. Do you see how they stick out? It's hard to know how a thing will look without a model. I might love how they stick out on a baby. Oh well, someone will just have to buy them and send me a picture.

I had to weave in 33 ends. I like how the pants look inside out. Someone asked me the other day if they could be worn inside out. Well, no. Maybe some day I will make them in garter stitch.

As I said yesterday, I will list them in etsy today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow. I have a pair of booties for which I need to make a matching hat (I haven't even cast on yet). I will put it in writing now that I will make it today. There. That settles it -- maybe?

Have a good Wednesday.

Front? Check.

I finished knitting the front of these capri pants last night and they are now being blocked. I should get them sewn together some time today and will list them in my etsy shop Wednesday or Thursday.

Look at all of those ends to be woven in. That's not fun. The good part of it is that they are so adorable. I don't have any baby girl's around me to try them on. Maybe I will have to buy a life-sized baby doll. Hmmmm. That is something to consider. I had never thought of that before.

I don't always make booties to match, but I will have to make some for these.

This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Have a wonderful day everyone!

A Little Bit More

I'm loving these capri pants. They are a joy to knit. The colors are fun and very girlie. I have Christmas on my mind now and I have some wonderful plans for Christmas pants and onesies. I will be posting pics of the beginning stages in the near future. Also, I have not forgotten about the boys. I am trying to be disciplined and for every girl's pair of pants, make a boy's pair.

Something new

This blog is the beginning of an exciting new adventure. Come back often to see what is going on here at His Glory Hand Knits Headquarters. If you don't feel up to reading, it's okay .... come back for pictures of some really cute and colorful baby things.

I was very happy today for the arrival of my clothing labels. I've got to go back and sew them into about twenty pair of pants. I'm thinking about using Wonder Under and ironing them in. I will have to see what works best.

This is what I am currently working on. It's the beginning of a pair of capri length baby pants. I hope to have them completed in about a week.

That's all for now. I will be studying how to work this whole blogger thing. Stay tuned......
