I've been sketching them out so I don't forget them, but I need to find the time to add more hours to the day I think!<br /><br /><br />I currently have three design being tech edited and test knitting and at least 3 more waiting in the wings.<br /><br />Little Copernicus will be the next one to be released. Test knitters are finishing up now and the tech editor is nearly done :) Pics can be seen <a href="http://libellewool.blogspot.com/2011/01/reviving-blog.html">here.</a><br /><br /><a href="http://libellewool.blogspot.com/2011/01/pollux.html">Pollux</a> and <a href="http://libellewool.blogspot.com/2011/01/reviving-blog.html">Andromeda</a> are with the tech editors right now!<br /><br />Halley will be next. I don't have any pictures yet as it still needs sleeves (not sure why, but I really procrastinate when it comes to knitting sleeves!). Its a cute little empire waist sweater with pleats in the front.<br /><br />The rest have yet to make it from my brain to the needles, but will soon!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5920070797720456873-5857762310936203748?l=libellewool.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julie Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03121042711449004692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920070797720456873.post-64576554950070613562011-01-24T10:42:00.004-05:002011-01-24T10:43:46.815-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DzOeLhdnI0Y/TT2eHcEwZdI/AAAAAAAAAB0/0MfOGgQjboo/s1600/Pollux.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 275px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DzOeLhdnI0Y/TT2eHcEwZdI/AAAAAAAAAB0/0MfOGgQjboo/s320/Pollux.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565778565132215762" border="0" /></a><br />New design in the works, this is the first prototype.

I'm going to give it a go again. Lots of things have changed or are changing in Libelle-ville :) I'm getting my feet wet in the pattern writing arena and really love it! I've got two completed patterns at this point <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/caelum">Caelum</a> and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/altaira">Altaira</a>. I've got three more in the works as I type! One is being test knitted by some awesome knitters and I'm very grateful for that. The other two are in my head and making their way to the computer.<br /><br />I'm still at the congo, <a href="http://hyenacart.com/theirownknittedworld/">Their Own Knitted World</a>, but will be leaving there in May to concentrate more on designing. It is a bittersweet change. The other ladies at TOKW have been wonderful to work with! But its time to move on...<br /><br />With that being said, I'll leave you with some pretty woolly pictures!<br /><br />My beautiful daughter Carolynn in her ballet wrap. She was so tickled to open this up on Christmas!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DzOeLhdnI0Y/TTXah_BMDiI/AAAAAAAAABc/xft79nfcJ1o/s1600/Ballet%2BWrap.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DzOeLhdnI0Y/TTXah_BMDiI/AAAAAAAAABc/xft79nfcJ1o/s320/Ballet%2BWrap.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563593192073072162" border="0" /></a><br />Disco Baby Knits "Storybook Ending" spun by me.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DzOeLhdnI0Y/TTXahv4GKnI/AAAAAAAAABU/GtvMkEQAGec/s1600/DBK%2BSBE%2BHandspun%2Bbig.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DzOeLhdnI0Y/TTXahv4GKnI/AAAAAAAAABU/GtvMkEQAGec/s320/DBK%2BSBE%2BHandspun%2Bbig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563593188008405618" border="0" /></a><br />Disco Baby Knits "Night Harvest".

So, I thought it would be a good idea to use my own little guy to show how I measure him for his woollies! :)<br /><br /><br />1. With a diaper on...measure around the waist above the diaper (I get 16 inches):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Waist.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 318px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Waist.jpg" alt="" border="0" /> </a><br /><br />2.

Next, measure from the top of the back of the diaper, around the crotch, to the top of the front of the diaper (about 17 inches, but I'll do 18 inches):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Rise-front.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 318px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Rise-front.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Rise-back.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 318px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Rise-back.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />4. Measure around the largest part of the thigh (10.25 inches...so I'll make the legs wider than that):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Thigh.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 318px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Thigh.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />5. Measure from the top of the leg to the bottom...as far as you want the woollies to go (9 or 10 inches):<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Inseam.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 318px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v620/jmk555/Inseam.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Ta da!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5920070797720456873-3955011022204455064?l=libellewool.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julie Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03121042711449004692noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920070797720456873.post-1677662663611432992009-07-20T20:23:00.003-04:002009-07-20T20:24:34.993-04:00I'm setting a grand reopening date for August 17th, 2009 to commemorate my sweet Aiden's 2nd angelversary.
