35 costumes went through dress rehearsal last night, and 8 came back for alterations. Nothing major, at least!
Another 20 go through tonight, and the rest over the course of the week. I did get a phone call just a little while ago saying that I need to make 6 headbands. Wake me when it’s over.
Seeing as I have no knitting to blog about, I’m going to blog about someone else’s!
Last year, I knitted the very cute little STYK cardi for a gorgeous little girl in our extended family. Earlier this year, Little Miss Cute gained a baby brother, Ellis. For him, I sent the baby shawl I designed and knit, and a cute little hat.
All these lovely knitted goodies inspired the kidlets’ mother, Pascale, to take up the needles herself. Isn’t that what all us knitters like to hear?!?
Pascale emailed me to tell me that she’d taken up knitting and was enjoying it and had even signed up for a class to learn some finishing techniques.
She’s on fire! She’s already designing little purses to hold Annabel’s toys, and is thinking of doll blankets with sheep on them, and all sorts of wonderful things.
But she has sent me a picture of her first finished project, a jacket for Ellis.
That’s her first project! Hasn’t she done an excellent job? BTW, I’m talking about the knitting, although he’s a mighty cute baby 🙂
All comments will be passed along.
Now that is super cute! Fabulous first project too.
Amazing for a first attempt !
Looking forward to seeing the next project 😉
What an adorable little boy! Thats a really good job for a first project. I really like the buttons. She has a good eye for these. Maybe it won’t be long before she join the knitbloggers crowd =D
What a fabulous first project! I’m very impressed. She skipped the scarves and went right to the good stuff. Cute baby 🙂
She’s a natural at knitting. Fabulous first project! Sure beats my first project–a garter stitch scarf. There’ll be no stopping her now. When will she be starting her blog???
Wow! A sweater for a first project! Awesome.
And I love the buttons.
Wow! Huge congrats on both firsts! They look great together, don’t they?

Beautiful little baby and a great first project too! Love those buttons on sweater too!
Good luck with the costumes.
Very cute jumper, I love the starry buttons!!
wow…that’s impressive. i still remember my first project. it’s a total flop!!
That’s a first project??? Wow!
Those are the cutest buttons. I swear I’m going to find better buttons for projects now. they just make a project look properly finished, I think.
And he’s VERY cute.
She must be a natural born knitter, what an excellent job. Is she going to start blogging too, sounds as though she should. I hope you get the costumes fixed in time, fingers crossed.
YAY for creating another Knitting Addict!!
And tell Pascale that she did a FANTASTIC job of that cardigan!!
Katt
That is one heck of a lot of sewing!
Absolutely adorable!! What a first knitting project, she’s got it down!
what an exemplary first project! If only all first projects showed such GOOD TASTE! And the Buttons! Wow! Further evidence of style! A great knitter in the making you’ve got yourself there Donna
cute baby… and awsome job on the sweater too!!!
beautifully rendered! i like the subtleness of the different colors.
Too cute — the jacket AND the baby! I love the neutrals. Just oozing with cuteness.
How clever! That is the perfect cardi for a tiny boy. It looks lovely on him. And a very cute baby with a very cute name.
