Halt Right There
Yesterday’s post was good for a laugh, but not really very substantial. In case you’re wondering what the heck that big pile of mulch was all about, Dale has been doing some maintenance work for the town this summer. Monday they had 180 yards of mulch delivered to the municipal playground, which is right next door to the library. There was equipment out there and several other people working. But at lunch Dale was on his own with just the tiny shovel. I couldn’t resist taking a picture for the blog!
Frankly, I was worried that I’d have nothing to post today. But then my daughter-in-law, Heather, came through for me. She sent me a picture of Ambrynn wearing the Katja top I knit for her for her birthday.
This was a super quick knit (less than 2 days) and really fun, too. It’s a bit big for Ambrynn so I’m going to take a few stitches in the back to snug it up. But Kristi made a great modification to this pattern that I wish I had seen before I knit this one. She did a row of YO/K2tog right below the first few rows of the body and then threaded a ribbon through the eyelets. What a perfect solution that would have been, had I only thought of it myself.
Can I brag a bit, too? Ambrynn was a runner-up in a beautiful baby contest at our local fair. Clearly, the judges were blind. How could they resist that face? I know we can’t! Which is probably why I’m already knitting something else for her.

Not only is she adorable but the top is PURPLE! Huzzah!
She is so cute. I love the pose she is in. It makes her look like a fashion model.
Look at that pose – supermodel! She’s beautiful.
awwwww – how cute is that?! :o))
That is such a cute picture!
She’s a cutie-patutie, and that pose! That is precious. She’ll probably be able to wear that top two years — bonus.
You’re right, she should have been first place! She’s too cute!
Between Dave with the duckies and you with the kid, there are just too many adorable critters in blogland this morning. Yours is better dressed, however.
She is adorable and so is your hand knit:-)
I have been dying to knit something for a little girl but it seems that only boys are being born over here in the Western part of the state.
RUNNER UP?! I call for new judges.
Very sweet little top.
I wonder if Mack would like a halter top. ; ) Ambrynn is adorable. You’re so right about those judges — eye exams all around!
That is adorable, Carole! You’ll just have to do a YO, K2TOG row on the NEXT one, because as adorable as she is and as fast as knitting one up is there is no reason not to knit her another one, right? 😉
The judges were totally blind. What a little angel!
Very cute pose! I think she would be darling in a second version, with the ribbons, if grandma was so inclined to make one 🙂
She is adorable! And the top too but really, who can pay attention to the top when it is worn by such a cute girl? Whatcha knitting for her next?
Oh, that picture! The pose, the outfit, the pout . . . all adorable!
Very cute. What a great little top.
Brag on, Carole–she IS beautiful!!!!!!!! And the Katja top is so adorable. I love the color! The ribbon idea is a great one. Well-done!
You’re right – she is beautiful, as is her new top!
She is just born to be a model!! Gorgeous baby and the top is really beautiful!
Oh, she’s lovely! And that top is super cute. Hmm. Maybe I need to take a break from knitting bibs…
Yep, clearly they were blind. She is a cutie! What are you making next for her?
Woah, the face, the pose, the hand-knit clothing. She’s got it all!
Blind as bats. That girl clearly has it Goin’ On.
What a cutie!
I can’t believe how big Ambrynn is getting. And what amazing eyes she has! She’s going to be a heartbreaker.
She is so cute in her little outfit:)
Brag on!! Ambrynn is adorable!!
She is *so* posing in that pic. And rightly so, with such a gorgeous top to show off!
OMG look at that sexy pose!
That pose miraculously came out of a second attempted “photo shoot”. I just couldn’t get Ambrynn to stay still long enough to actually get her in the frame! But she finally did..typical female…has to be on her terms I guess!
