I'm going to pick him up later this morning. I'm sure he'll be exhausted! I just saw on her Facebook page that she posted at midnight that all NINE of the boys were finally asleep. She's one brave woman, considering she has 6 kids of her own.

Maybe you want to make some <a href="http://goodmama.typepad.com/goodmama/2008/05/make-your-own-wool-dryer-balls.html">wool dryer balls</a>, which are a great alternative to the plastic dryer balls. Or maybe you want to make a <a href="http://wists.com/Patty7737/0e64547e12e1bc1af4e314bb56ca3cc8">scrappy hat</a> or <a href="http://laughingpurplegoldfish.blogspot.com/2008/10/scrappy-scarves.html">scarf</a>. OR maybe you just need a couple of more ounces to finish that project that's been sitting the bottom of your knitting bag waiting to be finished.<br /><br />Well I have the solution for you! Mini skeins! I've got a range of colors and amounts. Click on one of the pictures below and you'll be taken straight to my shop! :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23778158"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4F1149DLd2kq_2O1ikfmQKvPtOSKFbZxoEg43bYlmtMAgYbdwKTSuWxz36yiYnYgVh6AJGSbUnp5O_IitiZhL2DDf-pa98xlyPtPRRo_KjO7obResIqWh0n8yKbkjb4IPRj0JaY-9wr_/s200/IMG_4823.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327150497973431794" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23768874"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifoIAROinzDMJFPFUr5nDDbz9wBJzfDmglQO89AgZcdEu45g1-oY53jjCXVktAR6_RyVJpNyWoshvV0yR9uBxlpqR4DoOJf8sVrm_t4zrm0wb8rSItShCJRLvnshhJxqr0R5r15Ls5Q49F/s200/IMG_4821.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327150767306817602" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23779018"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBDpcVQBDadiyxR2lWsgvt2MugCZrWbqzGxKLG4bFaAoCTZlKQQ7orADpsS54wFdFeaDIGIaJFrb13pMwrkKVvO9KM1x9O61vufhq1Tmck6xmA1g8HAPW5Gl8YPW1-Mwqe1dHMGW85-w10/s200/IMG_4830.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327150920069026210" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Happy Knitting!LittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-39971652049064270412009-04-18T08:09:00.003-04:002009-04-18T08:23:23.358-04:00Sweet newborn longiesI wanted to share a little bit about one of the items in my <a href="http://littlebopeepknits.etsy.com">shop</a>.<br /><br />These <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23725416">sweet little longies</a> were custom knit by me using yarn that I dyed. I wanted a pastel rainbow look and I love how soft the colors came out.<br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Gallery/?action=view&current=IMG_4152-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Gallery/IMG_4152-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />They feature an elastic waistband which is safe for little babies who want to put everything in their mouths! You don't want your little one chewing on a drawstring made from yarn. ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Gallery/?action=view&current=IMG_4156-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Gallery/IMG_4156-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />I love the Moss Stitch and typically use it on my longies unless a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop_alchemy.php?user_id=5697559">customer requests</a> something different. There's something about textures in knitting that appeals to me. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Gallery/?action=view&current=IMG_4154-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Gallery/IMG_4154-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />What are longies, you ask? Longies, shorties, skirties and soakers are all terms that cloth diaper users throw around. They're basically diaper covers that double as pants/shorts/skirts. They are typically knit with wool because wool is a wonderful material to absorb wetness, yet is breathable so your little one doesn't get a heat rash "down there". One would think that wool is too much work to care for but really once you get used to it it's not that bad. In fact, I've thrown my knits into the washing machine!<br /><br />So that's that! These longies will fit a newborn and you can buy them <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23725416">here</a>. And if you see some yarn in my shop that you would like knit up feel free to send an alchemy request!LittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-34985551906937099362009-04-18T07:37:00.003-04:002009-04-18T07:39:38.490-04:00Le sighI've been in a foul mood the past couple of days. My uncle passed away Thursday morning so I guess that's why. I don't know...I just feel lazy. My house is a wreck, the laundry monster is growing by the day. What happened to the maid?? I guess she quit. :P<br /><br />On the bright side I've got 3 co-op orders done! woohoo! I plan on doing the 4th today.<br /><br />Other than that nothing is going on.

Darn. I hate running errands. lol I have a chiropractor appointment and then I have to run into Aldi's. I LOVE Aldi's. It's kind of ghetto but these days I can't even afford Wal-Mart! lol<br /><br />When we get home it will probably be lunch time so I'll put the groceries away, throw lunch at the kids, put the baby down for a nap and then play with some yarn while watching All My Children.

But alas, I got sidelined. Thank goodness my 8 year old has the week off.

They had a blast! There were SO many kids there--think stampede. ;) They divided the kids into age groups: 5 and under, 1st-3rd grade, and older kids. I wondered why the older kids were there, but whatever. After they collected and emptied out the plastic eggs they turned them back in and got a gold dollar coin.<br /><br />Here we are waiting in the car. We went to breakfast with my mom so we ended up at the Egg Hunt early.<br /><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/?action=view&current=PICT0481.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/PICT0481.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/?action=view&current=PICT0482.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/PICT0482.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br />Here's the first round.

Check it out! http://twitter.com/LBPKnits They wouldn't let me do my whole name so I had to shorten it to LPBKnits. Hopefully I remember that. lol<br /><br />So now that I'm on Twitter I have a <a href="http://www.twibs.com/business?business=LBPKnits">Twibs page</a> too! What's Twibs you ask? It's Twitter for businesses! If you have an Etsy store they can even link your store directly to your Twibs page. How awesome is that?! So follow me on Twitter and Twibs--join the Twitting craze!! lol<br /><br />In other news--10+ pounds of yarn is a LOT of yarn. lol I got the Cestari and Merino shipments in for the co-op!!! woo hoo! So I'm going to start dyeing today so I can get these orders out. Oh and my house smells like a farm. Or at least like I have a couple of sheep living with me. I love Cestari--you know something is organic when it still smells like what it came from. They're not technically organic but the smell and the grass in the yarn tells me they're organic. ;)LittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-82373220350858396382009-04-05T13:24:00.001-04:002009-04-05T13:25:59.478-04:00Yarn ClubThank you for all the comments! :)<br /><br />I'm definitely going to offer a yarn club, I just need to work out the details.

I was thinking of maybe offering sock and not sock and having 3 month, 6 month and 12 month subscriptions. The colorways would be a surprise, they could be new colorways or oldies but goodies. I would probably offer it through the blog because I haven't figured out a good way to do it through Etsy. Hopefully it would work. lol<br /><br />What do you think? :) Please leave a comment.LittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-4206409699622149822009-03-23T12:20:00.002-04:002009-03-23T12:26:38.275-04:00Spring has sprung!My daffodils are blooming, the birds are chirping and I KNOW that eventually it will warm up. The calendar my say it's Spring but my thermometer would disagree! It's a balmy 46 degrees here. I really can't wait for warmer weather. I used to love cold weather but now not so much. Maybe it's because I'm getting older? I'm not THAT old. lol<br /><br /><br />I have some new yarn listed over on Esty and I love how bright it is! Go ahead and look, you know you want to! ;)<br /><br />Ok, the baby really wants to be put down so I can't write as much as I had planned. I'll save it for another day!<br /><br /><img src="file:///Users/melanieround/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" />LittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-48988763767435835052009-03-05T11:12:00.001-05:002009-03-05T11:34:05.020-05:00So much going on!I've got so much going on right now, hopefully I'll remember it all!<br /><br />I've got some exciting new colorways. You can view them <a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/?action=view&current=372dc4de.pbw">here</a>.<br /><br />I'm doing a co-op of my yarns, which is always fun! If you'd like to join, click <a href="http://clothdiapernation.com/vbforums/showthread.php?t=8021">here</a>.<br /><br />In Ravelry news, I did a search for my name (don't we all do that? lol) and I was surprised to see some of my yarn in a couple of projects! I was so stoked by that! lol I knew about one of them but I didn't know about the others. Now I feel like a real yarnie. Silly, I know, but it's the truth.<br /><br />I've moved my shop to Etsy! Now that I'm not specializing in diaper covers I don't think Hyena Cart is the place for me. I loved my time there and HC will always hold a special place in my heart, but I feel like Etsy is the place for me now. No worries, though--you can still get there by going to www.littlebopeepknits.com :D<br /><br />So since I need to get out into the Etsy world I've joined 2 Street Teams! I'm so excited, but a little overwhelmed. I have NO idea what I'm doing but everyone has been sweet and helpful so far. I belong to <a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/fast.shtml">EtsyFAST</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/fast.shtml"></a> and <a href="http://team.etsy.com/profilest/knitters.shtml">EtsyKnitters</a>. I feel like there's a whole new world out there for me to explore! lolLittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-37822893725347367172008-11-21T13:03:00.000-05:002008-11-21T13:09:55.593-05:00New colorways and stocking info!!"Melon-y" which was dyed to match the fabric:<br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/?action=view&current=Melon-y-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/Melon-y-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/?action=view&current=Melon-ythumbnail.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/Melon-ythumbnail.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/?action=view&current=melon-ycloseup.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/melon-ycloseup.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />"Burgundy Mist", named by Mr. Bo-Peep<br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/?action=view&current=Burgundymist.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/Burgundymist.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/?action=view&current=burgundymistthumbnail.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff166/littlebopeepknits/Yarn/burgundymistthumbnail.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />Still un-named but I thought I would share anyway.

We're having a HUGE stocking and SALE on Black Friday!!! Everything in our store will have free shipping until November 30th so now's your chance to get some great yarn!!! I'm hoping to have the previews up by the end of this weekend but with 3 kids (5 if you count Mr. Bo-Peep and the dog) you never know what will happen! :)LittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-63072071542366835542008-11-19T21:07:00.000-05:002008-11-19T21:21:09.257-05:00I haven't dropped off the face of the earth!!I promise! lol I've been busy dyeing all but one skein of my yarn. I've taken pictures, now I just need to STOCK it!!! Stay tuned.....<br /><br />I've also been busy doing tons of volunteer work with my lamb's school. The tuition of this school is small compared to others so Mr. Bo-Peep and I have to volunteer a certain amount of hours every year. Which I don't mind--our lambs love seeing us involved and I actually enjoy it. I've been playing lunch lady, helping with their weekly hot lunch and this Saturday night we have the annual auction which is a huge fund raiser for the school. I'm the "head cashier" which means I get to take everyone's money. lol I used to be a bookkeeper at Home Depot so it's old hat for me. ;)<br /><br />Now on to the fun stuff!!! I have action shots of "Emily" knit up!! These longies were knit for a trade on DiaperSwappers.<br /><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/?action=view&current=IMG_4430.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/IMG_4430.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/?action=view&current=IMG_4422.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/IMG_4422.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><br />And just for fun (don't mind the nasty hair--it was a pajama day lol)<br /><br /><a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/?action=view&current=IMG_4435.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/catholicapmom/IMG_4435.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>LittleBoPeepKnitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11303900292376796948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501844001137263331.post-25053514619338500742008-10-31T11:09:00.000-04:002008-10-31T11:11:29.914-04:00New Congo!!I'm proud to announce that I recently joined <a href="http://hyenacart.com/MainStreet/">Main Street Congo</a>!

Our family got hit with a nasty cold/flu. I think it's a really bad cold because we haven't had fevers. But we've got a nasty, painful cough, runny noses, headaches, etc. And the baby is really pleasant to be around. :P I stayed in bed all weekend and I still feel awful.<br /><br />Anyway, if you are waiting on a custom please give me an extra day or two. I am dyeing today, but I didn't all weekend.
