A bunch of WIPs

A bunch of moon pads for a custom order from a friend. I'm not happy with the serged straps. I haven't put the snaps on them yet so I'm going to do T&T straps sered on just one short side instead.











I have over a dozen of these little boy boxers cut out. Some are for my Moose, some are for a friend's lil guy. I put enclosed waistbands on them so no elastic is touching little boy skin. I've made two patterns, one has more stride for a taller boy.










This is how the roomier pattern I made fits on my Moose. He's a 2-3t for heighth, and a 3-4t for width. The picture quality could be better here, but he's a constantly moving target.








My first knit socks. This is just the ankle cuffs, they're ready for the "heel flap" thingiemabobber. I'm doing two at once, working a few rows on one, then the other. If I did them seperately who knows how long I'd have just one sock before I got around to doing the other one.







A couple dresses for the baby. The bandana print just needs buttons, it's a cross back style. The cherries print needs the neck and armholes finished, it will have bows on the back.












More shorts for my oldest. I didn't make these. They're part of his Ranger uniform and they're too loose for his skinny butt, even after washing and drying on hot. Since they expect the boys to have their shirts tucked in he can't just roll the waistband down. I need to put belt loops on them for him.





Shorts for my oldest son, cargo pockets, beachcomber length. They just need elastic. I can't find my wide waistband elastic anywhere! I know I just bought a big package and I've only done two waistbands with it since.

Rainbow Soaker

Rainbow soaker take two! I got two soakers out of that ball of Blackberry Ridge merino. This is one of my favorite yarns so far, very yummy. Stretchy, squishy, so very soft, doesn't pill a whole lot. Comes in awesome colorways when you order it from Wooly Wonders By Nada ;)

that name again

Well I'm stuck between Tread Lightly Threads and Silver Moon Threads. Whatchya think? Any other name with "moon" in it just screamed menstrual products, which will be there but not my focus. But Silver Moon Threads looks more like a trademark than a description of the wares. Thread Lightly was actually one of my favorites too, but it appears to be in use already.

baby halter tops

This was knit using the Katja pattern from Knitty, in Blue Sky cotton. Neither of the pictures show the true color very well! It's a darker lavender.

Blocked.

Unblocked.
Crocheted halter tops, I created the pattern. The red and white one is prototype 1.0. The yellow one is prototype 1.2, I am much happier with that one. I have 2.0 in my brain already, I don't have any yarn I want to use for it though. How many of these does one kid need anyway? lol.

moon pads, prototype 1.0

Prototype 1.0. Drew the shape on paper and sewed it up. The bottom layer is microfleece, which won't wick moisture out unless it's soaked. In the middle is two layers of flannel, on top is a layer of very soft brushed cordaroy. This is light day/liner absorbancy. It's approximately 7.5"x3.5". I'd like to put a personal touch on them... like stitching the shape of a moon on them or something.

Thinking of wahm names again...

These came to me while I was driving down the road today. Considering I want to offer basics to crunchy/hippie families, such as house hold cloth, unpaper supplies, basic kid clothes, wool games, winter wear, etc.., I know I'll have cutsie appliqued and dolled up kids sets occasionally, but that won't be what I focus on.

Help me roll with this? Share whatever input you have please.
