Two year old epilepsy

I never knew it was common for children to develop epilepsy around the age of two until my grandson suddenly started having seizures.  He had had no sign of the seizures.  But we have been assured this is not uncommon and that he will probably outgrow just as suddenly as they came on. 

this is the blanket that matches the sweater I had already posted.  The little outfit is a vintage pattern that I found on the internet.  These were made for a special baby that although I have not met him yet I am so very happy he has been born.  I spent lots and lots of hours with his father when he was a little boy.  I wish that we were closer so I could visit but hopefully soon.  His birth has been a long awated event and will bless his family so very much.

This is finally finished.  I will be uploading pictures of the blanket and pants that are included in the set.  This was for a very special baby.  His grandparents have been waiting a long time for him.

What I am working on now

I have been working very diligently on a sweater and pants set for a special child that is to born next month.  I had trouble finding yarn to be able to complete the blanket so it will be a complete set but as soon as I am finished I will be posting pictures.

This is a picture of the Christmas stockings that I made for my grandsons.  I got the original pattern from http://www.chemknits.com/2010/09/kab-stocking-pattern.html for the dragon and then changed the pattern to make the snowman.  This is the first time that I knitted a sock with an afterthought heel.  It was much easier than a normal heel.  I will try on my next pair of socks.  I understand that they wear longer than other heels and they are easy to replace if they do become worn.  Please ignore the date stamp on the picture I always forget to change the date.

Projects just finished

I just finished this hat and scarf. While this is not a set they worked out really well together. The hat is an entrelac pattern from Lion Brand and the scarf was in my latest issue of Love of Knitting and was designed by Kimberly K. McAlindin. She has just gorgeous designs. http://mybuttonjar.blogspot.com
