Something else for the box


Last night I completed three more things for the Christmas box which I'll show you over the next couple of days.  This time I'll show you what our grandson will be receiving...

and here's a closeup of the pattern

The pattern is the 'Seamless Baby Hoodie'
by Jeannette Murphy and can be 
found HERE

Yarn is Heartland by Lion Brand.

I chose to add a button band with buttons rather than using the zipper as called for, mainly because our grandson is very (!!) tall and I needed to add extra length.   


Today your quote is about that awful white stuff (only because we woke up to it this morning) and comes from Carl Reiner..."A lot of people like snow.  I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water"    (My sentiments exactly!!!)

  9. OH MY!!! SO many great sites! I LOVE that little key chain bag and the notions bag! I am a "Medium" level crochet-er and I always dabble in a few projects now and then so I bookmarked the site with the free patterns. And YES, I did literally go "AWWWWW" when I saw the bib. Your sweater is ADORABLE -- love the buttons!! Thanks for visiting my blog and for all of these great links!
