Sanny Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Neighbors hadda baby girl. I knit her a little girl dress for later, when she's not asleep all the time. Still baby sized, but not for just now. What little girl doesn't like cashmere, silk, and merino?
Majestik Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Nice! Very nice indeed. My daughter is almost six. I'll send you her measurements.
Sanny Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Posted March 19, 2008 Sanny knits socks... These are for a dear friend whom I've known since junior high school. He was lamenting how he has only two of the three pairs I knit him several years ago. Nothing as happy as hand knit socks! Next projects, chemo caps for a friend who has breast cancer. First chemo treatment was today, and double mastectomy on April 2. Remind the women you love to do self exams (that's how this friend found it, in an early stage), and to get regular mammograms.
primeats Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Everyone needs an angel, your friend has you. Speedy recovery to her .
johnnyboy Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Nice work Sanny! Sorry about your friend, I wish her the best. I remember my Grandmother used to knit us stuff all the time when we were kids. Slippers were her speciality. We all had to have them; nice to see you doing it too.
Sanny Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Posted March 20, 2008 Everyone needs an angel' date=' your friend has you. Speedy recovery to her .[/quote'] Thanks, Prime! She's in Minnesota, so someone else will be "angel on site." I'm an internet friend, who knits from afar. Size 11... I'll remember. Nothing happier than hand knit socks...
Sanny Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Posted April 11, 2008 And knits some more... Today's masterpiece? More socks. These have a lace rib on the leg, and a bit of a ruffle at the top. They're made of washable merino wool. Very soft.
johnnyboy Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Those are awesome Sanny! Great craftsmanship, or maybe I should say craftswomanship! You do great work; someone is going to be very happy.

Sanny Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Posted October 13, 2008 Sanny...who sews... A friend of many years was lamenting that his closet has a horrible malfunction. 20 years ago, I sewed him 2 Hawaiian shirts, size large. Then 4 years ago, I sewed him 2, size XL. He tried them on, but found the closet had shrunk them!! No longer would the XL fit! Horrors! Could I maybe make him some 2XL? Rotten closet... Can you see the pockets? That's one of his favorite parts. He and his friends get tipsy (these are party shirts, after all), and he makes them try to find the pockets.
Firemonkey Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Party shirts?? You mean those types of shirts are for "occasions"? Damn....I wear them daily
Sanny Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 Party shirts?? You mean those types of shirts are for "occasions"? Damn....I wear them daily Well, he wears them all occasions that aren't work. Doesn't that constitute "party"? The police department's funny about an officer's uniforms. Otherwise, I'm sure he'd wear them all the time, too. These I made for a special occasion, though. He just had his 50th birthday, and is going on a cruise. He needed something dressy to wear to the dining room. lol.
Firemonkey Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Sounds like my kind of guy...I bet he has a pair of dress flip-flops as well
Sanny Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 Sounds like my kind of guy...I bet he has a pair of dress flip-flops as well Well, he was going to wear black Dickies with the shirts, but I said he'd look like Aloha undertaker. So, he said he'd wear khakis. Maybe his khakis are shorts! I didn't ask.
Firemonkey Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 No, no. You aren't supposed to wear shorts to dinner in the dining room on a cruise. To do so would be a faux pas, but the appropriate flip-flops with khaki or linen pants would complete a perfect ensemble
trish Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 No' date=' no. You aren't supposed to wear shorts to dinner in the dining room on a cruise.

Firemonkey Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 I think you would be surprised how non-South Beach I really am. I'm sitting here in a swimsuit and t-shirt, with some quality programming like Jerry Springer on the TV. I am not really that refined, unless the specific situation requires it A neighbor commented that i must be conflicted after watching me while cooking, relaxing in my hammock and drinking a glass of wine, but with something like Godsmack rolling from the outdoor speakers.
johnnyboy Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Nice job Sanny, and nice pockets!!! I could see for sure without enlarging the photos, the blue shirt on left was full of pink flamingos!!! So then I thought the black one with the orange/redish images on the right might have been Firemonkeys!! So I enlarged it!!! Turns out flowers. Sorry FM, I thought I found a personalized shirt for you. hehe
Sanny Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 Little girls in pink dresses First post in this thread was when I made the dress. This post is the little girl modeling it on a cold January day.
