grumpy ballerina

I’m pausing from my “sword” fight with Honor with plastic knives (how safe is that?) to post a few pictures.

First! I woke up this morning to big, fat snowflakes! They’re still coming down!

It's snowing!

I just finished knitting this Ballet Tee from Loop d Loop and I whipped up some little leg warmers to match with the leftover yarn. I added a garter stitch border at the hem and also picked up stitches and added a border for the neckline too. Does anyone know the washing instructions for Cotton Fleece?

Eden was none too pleased to be modeling for me today, hence the grumpy face.

Grumpy Ballerina

Trying so hard to keep the grumpy face

EDIT: I forgot the most important part, a big FAT thank you to Leanne for the yarn! You’re such a sweetie!!!

    OMG cute. The grumpy face actually makes her cuter… if only she knew!

    Jill must have wished those flakes to you! :) If she was any cuter…Jim will have to fight the boys off a bit later I am afraid! :) Great job on the sweater, I love the color.

    Oh my gosh that is too cute. Is Eden and the girls doing ballet right now? Tasia sure misses doing it with them. And yes I did wish those snowflakes for you :)

    Yes-boo it stopped snowing and the sun is now going to come out and melt everything except the ice on my drive way. But hey, maybe the heating bill will go down?

    Second…SO CUTE!!! I love the top and leg warmers. You did a great job!

    That is just totally awsome she could be a model that grump face is perfect for “the look” :) I need to make some knee warmers but I can only knit scarfs now because I can’t follow patterns. I learned to knit in first or secound grade so I am not to “technical” of a knitter.

    Um, that’s officially the cutest knitted object ever! I love love love! Now, all you need to do is make a matching Mommy one and you’ll be all set!
