Let's see some pics!! I want to see what you are making.

I recently hand dyed some wool -

And this is the diaper cover that it knit up into (still needs leg cuffs and to be felted, and notice the dirty looks I am getting from baby boy, he was in a mood and the last thing he wanted was to pose for pictures LOL)

I have two more skeins ready to be washed and dyed and turned into soakers, I am going to give up on plastic diaper covers for the summer and go all wool b/c it's cooler.

Wow! That is awesome that you dyed your own wood AND are making diaper covers! I had big plans for a quilting project but I am going to wait until I see if baby is a boy or a girl then I'll go to town. I also have a ton of snuggle flannels that I want to turn into something.

Oh I LOVE snuggle flannel for bibs and burp cloths! When you start your quilt you will have to share pictures! I love watching other moms create things, its so fun to see others creativity at work.

 Not sure if you have Joann fabrics up there but they run GREAT sales on fabric. I got the snuggle flannel on black friday for $1.99 a yard! I can't buy a receiving blanket for that.

Will definately take pics and post them - it'll be my first attempt but we all have to start somewhere right?!

How cute!!! I started knitting this year and I plan on making things for baby! Just waiting to see if it's a boy or girl :) I'm still learning. I want to take some classes this summer :)

I LOVE knitting, when I didn't know what this baby was going to be I made a ton of hats and booties in yellow, red and cream, but I kind of like dark gender neutral colors better then gender specific colors anyway.

ADORABLE! I tried to learn to knit, and it was super frustrating! I quilt, and scrapbook, and other little kitchy crafts ... but knitting ... I SO wish I could! Love it!

I love knitting, I taught myself when the triplets where little, but there are still things that allude me (like socks!), and I can't quilt or scrapbook, scrabooking has too many little pieces and I don't have the girly touch of making them all come together to look nice it always ends up looking like the cricut threw up on the page and everything I quilt comes out crooked (and I can sew, so I have no idea WHY that happens, but it does EVERY time!). I want to try my hand at bead making, but not sure that will turn out very well LOL

Thanks! I knit flat (meaning on one long needle rather then a round needle) and I have special, super slippery needles that I use, so I go pretty fast in an easy repeat pattern like this, I would say the whole thing took me about four hours from start to finish. The hardest part is actually the leg cuffs b/c they have to be knitted in the round on four double pointed needles, they take the most time out of the whole project b/c I stink at juggling all those needles.
