As some of you, who know of me already, know...I became an Auntie on the 5th of July :D. My sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and they have named her 'Millie Rose'.
Of course there has been some knitting and more will follow...here's a cardy to start with.
Naturally when new additions arrive into the family, it always makes me think of when mine were born. A trip to the attic of memories was just what I needed and sure enough I found something.
This is a little doll I knitted for my eldest DD...nearly 14yrs ago...
I'm thinking of passing her on but she does needs a good wash lol...no! not DD ;) the doll.
And because i'm now on a roll...A few more pics!
Firstly, this was my lovely bookmark sent to me by Jacquie on the crafty threads n yarns forum.
It's just fab.
And Dada!!!!! I finished the toeup/shortrow heel socks.
I'm currently in a knitting lull....I want to make too many things all at once and i've had to walk away...poor mum will never get her cardy at this rate.

Big congrats on becoming an aunite. I love the cardigan. And nice bookmark, lucky you. I do like your socks too, but you won't catch me trying toe up!! ;)
Love the little doll, is this your new family heirloom
Thanks CJ....you will do toe up one day...I think everyone has a go...it's heels that are the hardest choice...short rows aren't that hard but they don't always fit every one.
nevisknitter....I hadn't thought of it has a heirloom but it might become one who knows :D
and last but not least...I'd like to say a big thankyou to aknita for showing me how to do links!!!!
You are very welcome KLB - it was Piglottie who showed me, so I can't take all the credit;)
I have enough trouble cuff down let alone toe up! I do like your baby knits you know, and what a treasure that little doll is.
Aw! I love the little doll!
Beautiful cardi - you will have the best dressed niece in town!
The doll is gorgeous - it should definitely become a family heirloom!
The cardigan is pretty. And I like your red socks too.
Congratulations on becoming an auntie! What a beautiful little doll - I think you should treasure her :) And such a pretty little cardi :)
What a lovely little cardigan! Really sweet! Another one who has never tried toe up... *holds up hands*
