Oh my - this brings back memories of my sweet little Merlin (who really wasn't so little). His sister Minnie still sleeps under my daughter's blanket at times.

Cozy - Cat in a Hand-Knit Scarf
Sleepy Hand-Knitted Bear in a Bunny Suit
Aw!!! I love the pink bunny suit this handknit bear is wearing! My grandmother would approve; she loved animal dolls, especially bears.
It's a sleepy snake!
Cute!!

Sleepy time for Knit Picks
This is very cute. I look at my teenagers and remember the little sweaters I made for them. I still have them in my cedar chest.

Spinning Comic
Here's one for you spinners:
"Hehe. A co-worker found this for me after seeing my knitting comic."
Pow! ( A Sweater)
Photo note:
"I found this sweater that my Grandma Kate knit when I was a kid (either for me or my brother, usually we each got one) while I was home for Christmas."
I would *so* wear this!

Knitted Bloomers
Photo note:
"bloomers, whole shebang
If you think they're cute here, you should see them on"
Oldfashioned knit unmentionables
What fun! Here is the photo note:
"Pattern: Garnstudio's knit shorts with own modifications (knit in stockinette stitch, knit the legs longer, added the lace ruffles and satin ribbons), size L.
Yarn: Some terrible knotty yarn purled from a industrially knit sweater. 250 gr in total.
Needle: 3,5 mm, crochet hook to BO stitches.
This was a fun project with no pressure or fear of failing: the yarn was so awful that it had almost no hope of becoming anything useful. Therefore I decided to overdo it and make something extreme out of it. I think I did quite well... :D
These actually come in handy, because they are really warm (100 % wool). Now I can wear knee-high socks and skirts throughout the winter without freezing my ass off. Yay! ;)"

Sparkly (Summer Lace Cardigan)
This is simply gorgeous. My kind of knitting.
Note:
"This started out as a pattern from a local yarn store. I changed the yarn, the gauge, the lace pattern, the length (2 inches longer), and the neckline (2 inches higher). I added a lace border to the bottom of the back to fix a pesky row gauge problem. I changed the sleeve cap to make it rounder. And I added lacing all the way up the front (the original had only a single hook closure), to allow for the possibility of wearing it in public. A slim possibility, admittedly.
Pattern: Summer Lace Cardigan, from Common Threads (sort of)
Yarn: Berroco Cotton Twist in Fern. I would not use this yarn again. It is inelastic and splits like crazy. The rayon plies snag on everything. It's a shame, because the colors and shine are gorgeous.
Size: 35 inch finished chest."
