Sweet Gracie

I wanted to share with you all a cute picture my cousin took of her new baby girl, Gracelyn Kaye. Could she get any sweeter? I knit a little pea pod sack and matching hat for her newborn pictures. These are perfect for a little newborn, nice and soft and very easy to get them in and out and put them in cute poses.

New babies = Lots of fun hats!

I've been so busy welcoming new babies and knitting hats for all their little noggins. There were 2 little girls born last week alone! I wanted to share with you the cute hat I made for my friend Stacie's little one. Her husband is a die hard Harley Davidson rider and every year I look forward to seeing there Christmas card featuring the fat boy. I created a special hat for their little one set to arrive in November. We don't know the sex so I made this one with a detachable flower. I can't wait to see it on.

I am starting on a set for my boys in U of M colors, perfect for fall football games!

Slouch hat and the Easter Vest

For my nephew's 15th birthday I made a "trendy" slouch hat for him. I thought it turned out really well, and the teenager was happy, job well done. I'll be sure to get more shots of this one, but for now this will have to do. Gotta love teenage boys and all their weirdness!

Here are a few shots of O in his Easter Vest. I still can't believe how well it fit him! He put up quite the fuss, kicking, screaming and crying when I first put it on, but after a few minutes, chocolate and Monsters Inc. he forgot he even had it on. Of course he was in no mood to pose for the camera, but you get the idea.

Newbie Beanie

I was wandering through the yarn store last week and came across this beautiful yarn. I couldn't take my eyes off it. I had no idea what to make with this, I just new I had to have it! I have never started a project without knowing what it would become, this was half way done before it came to me. I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to see this on top of a brand new baby's head. It's so soft and a wonderful mix of thick and thin out of 100% cotton, perfect to bring home your spring and summer bundle of joy. The colors are to die for, green, blue and grey! I will be back to the store this week to stock up on pinks and yellows!

Easter Vest Finished!

After knitting and re-knitting, the vest is finished! I'm so happy with the way it turned out and it fits Owen perfectly!I promise lots of Easter pictures. This is my first "clothing" project and I can't wait to do more. I have a few things in mind for my sweet niece who will arrive in July, you can were sweaters in July, right?

I had to add in one picture of O at the zoo, obviously with daddy, mom would never let him have pop ;)

Also, I will be running a contest on Facebook starting April 1. Stay tuned for details!

I really need a baby girl....

Here is my girlie striped hat. After doing the boy striped I didn't think it could get any cuter ....I was wrong. Hope you like!

Still working on O's vest, I needed to step away for a while. I'll be back at it tonight.

On the Needles

Here is a sneak peek of O's Easter Vest. This has been a labor of love. I was unable to find a pattern I liked so I'm using a pattern that works with the yarn weight and needles I wanted to use and modifying it as I go. When I first started I had about 9 extra stitches, which may not sound like a lot but it would add over 2 inches to the vest, so I had to take it apart and start over. Last night while working the chest I realized in the pattern it was bigger on the right side due to cables that I eliminated in the original pattern, so at 11:00pm I was taking that apart. I called it a night! I have basically made this vest twice, it better fit :) I hope to finish it tonight.
You can see the unraveled mess of yarn!

Photo Props!

After a long month of knitting, I finally got all my photographer props out to my #1 Photographer Tyler! I'm so grateful to have a friend to help me out with my new found love of knitting. The pictures really speak for themselves! To keep up with her wonderful pictures and occasionally my knits, become a fan of Tyler Plank Photograpy on Facebook. And while you're at it become a RWR Knits fan as well! This weekend I will be busy creating my website and a cute easter vest for O. Enjoy the photos :)

Owen and his hats

Nothing too spectacular but I did manage to get a few pictures of Owen with his hats on. Most of the time I was just chasing him around. Is it me or are these kids getting harder and harder to make sit still?

Owen's new hat

This one is perfect for spring! Of course O was not cooperating with me so no pics of him in it. I may have to venture outside for that. This is made with a cotton/wool blend, so it's nice and light, but still warm enough for the northern air. I will be starting on O's Easter vest this week as well, can't wait to share my progress.

Handspun to Handknit FINISHED!

and I think it turned out better than I ever imagined! So excited to see it on. I only have enough of this yarn for one more of these little poms, let me know if you're interested!

Finally a BOY hat!

Here's a sneak peak at a boy design! I've been trying to get this hat perfect for a few weeks now and I think I may be finished. Just a few tweaks and it will be ready to sell. I have to get one big enough for Owie's noggin and hopefully we can get him to sit still so I can get a good picture.

Take a look....

at my new slide show! Featuring all the little cuties that love wearing my hats! If your little one has a RWR knits hat I would love to add them. Email me their pics at beckyrae@charter.net.

Handspun to Handknit

I just received my first hand dyed, hand spun yarn, ordered of course through Etsy. It's beautiful and I can't wait to get started. It was dyed and spun in Georgia. This is my first time working with this type of yarn and I'm excited to see how it will knit up. This will be a cute pom pom hat used as a photog prop. I will be knitting late into the night as I enjoy my favorite show, Real Housewives. I'll have pictures of the finished hat this weekend and in a few weeks we will get to see it on a new baby thanks to Tyler.

More Flowers

I'm working on a few more hats for a friend. Here are the latest! I finally found a good use for all of Owen's balls that are laying around the house, they work perfect for stuffing hats!

A Little Early For Fall.....

but i had to share. Tyler got great shots of Mr. A in the pumpkin hat I made for her. She does such an amazing job, I can't believe the detail, to cute for words. And yes you can pre-order these for fall, just leave me a comment or shoot me an email.

My LOGO

I'm in love with my new logo. I just had it designed by Crystal at Light Trail Studios and had to share it with you all! Thanks Crystal.

What I'm Knittin'

I've had a busy week of knitting. I'm currently working on Photographer Props. Lots of cute hats, diaper covers and cocoon pods. I can't wait to share pictures with you, but you will have to wait. After all good things come to those who wait! Here is a sneak peak of a few....

Thanks to Tyler, who will be shooting a newborn in March we will get to see how these hats look on a sweet baby.
