I made a sweater. ;)



This is Padfoot, Little Man's teddy. Little Man decided he needs something to wear, so I obliged. Padfoot is happy now, and I feel accomplished.

You knit very well, Mrs. Weasley! It's even got a cute little bottom to it (the sweater, not the bear).

Actually, I ran over to see if you actually meant 'sweater' in this heat. Thought perhaps you meant 'sweeter' and I was going to tease you mercilessly. But then, you never would do something like that, so

Mrs Weasley? *twills wand, ponders a hex*

*snickers*

Yeah, I would never do something like that. ROFL

Awwww... that is too cute!

Great bear sweater! You did a lovely job.

I took my four children to a county fair today and was just amazed at some of the handwork there. Quilts and knitted goods, especially... they were just wow. Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you create something all by yourself with your own hands? I do love that.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks!

Oh, I love county fairs! I wish there was one near me. Yeah, that's why I love knitting. I didn't even need a pattern *pats self on back* LOL, and I'm quite happy with the result. Srsly, I can't wait for the weather to get cold so I can knit more than socks or little sweaters.

Love it!!!!!

:)

Aw, thanks! I'm not that accomplished a knitter yet, so I'm feeling rather pleased.

Wow!!! That is really good! IS it green and black? Slytherin colors? I can't tell on my stupid screen and with my bad eyes! But, it looks great! I don't think I could ever do that... lol

The main colour is a heathery aqua, and the stripe is navy blue, but it doesn't come out that well on the picture.

I only learned to knit last November, but I got hooked on it pretty fast. Now I just can't wait for the weather to cool down so I can do more woolen projects like another sweater. Throughout summer, I've always been having a sock on the needles these past few months, but it's not the same as knitting a sweater or cardigan. :)

Love Sonia :)

Teehee, thanks! I can't wait for winter to come back, lol.

Ooh! That is too cute! Go you, you Renaissance Woman.

*fangirls craft skills*

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thank you! Never been called That before!

[hogwarts-91.livejournal.com]

That came out beautifully! I can't believe how quickly you made that. Are you going to post a picture of the socks, too? LOL, but I want to see them!!

I made a huge pot of tortilla soup today - I think we're channeling the winter vibe!!! *prays for cool weather*

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

I promise to take a pic of the sock later. It doesn't look like a sock yet, but the colours are awesome. :)

Tortilla soup? Do you have a recipe? I'm sooooo ready for colder weather; it's not as bad as last year here, but the humidity *groans*

Wonderful! It's a great color on him too- well done! :D

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Teehee. I thought some contrasting colour would suit him well. :)

[dreamy-dragon73.livejournal.com]

That's lovely!

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) Next one will be in Slytherin colours, LOL

[irishredlass69.livejournal.com]

oooh I love the color and what a cute bear :)

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yup, the teddy is definitely on the cute side!

[apisa-b.livejournal.com]

very nice!

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

Very cute, sweater and teddy. Wish I had photos of the sweaters I used to design and knit, but that was 20 yrs ago LOL. I learned to knit when I was 10. After that my mother wouldn't knit anything for me. I had to knit all my own. So I learned to do cable, lacy patterns, fair isle, textures and eventually just made them up myself. I had a bright yellow mohair jersey with black oval "holes" with grey knobbly mice heads poking out , with sewn on whiskers and ears. I also did a farm scene one for a nephew with all sorts of animals, and a mock tuxedo jersey. Then I got sick of all the handwashing LOL
