Hand Knit Baby Girl Sweater, Petal Pink White Lace, 3-6 Months; Short Sleeve


New Baby Sweater

I made a new baby sweater about 2 weeks ago! I purchased a new pattern I found and it turned out absolutely great! This was made in a #3 weight DK yarn in Petal Pink and White with a lacey top portion and a standard knit bottom half with short sleeves. This is a light weight spring or fall sweater for a 3-6 month old, but I usually try to make my baby items with a little positive ease and length so the item can be used a little longer. That will always depend upon how fast the baby grows and how big the baby is when born! For more images or to purchase this beautiful sweater, just click here or the image above.

What's New

Well, since the passing of my buddy Roger, I've been trying to keep myself busy with my Etsy Shop and things around the house. But, it's been difficult not having him around. I have struggled with depression most of my life and have taken some medication at times for it. I have recently found I need to stay on a medication for depression. I can't seem to focus on much of anything at times, I start something and then leave it unfinished for a time because I can't bring myself to finish it. I really have to force myself to get done. And the whole time I am fighting with my brain because it will not shut off. I find it hard to sleep, read a book or enjoy talking to anyone. 

Getting Help

I reached the end of my rope and went to see my primary doctor and explained my symptoms. She gave me a form to fill out asking questions about my depression and she told she has many patients with similar symptoms and she explained it is a very common form of depression in adults. She prescribed a medication I had taken several years ago and now I feel much better and clear headed once again! I decided to share this with you because when depression is left untreated in can lead to other severe mental health concerns such as suicide. If you know anyone who has symptoms of depression, talk with them and try to get them help. Depression makes you feel like no one cares about you and you don't think there is anything wrong with yourself. 

Until next time!

Carl

Hello! I'm Back After A Very Long Break.

Here's my first blog post in about four or five years! I can't believe it's been that long. I took a break from selling on Etsy about 3 years ago and let my website and domain go. I just could not afford it any more with trying to keep up with my health; Rheumatoid arthritis and a lot of back issues. Everything was just too much especially with trying to keep up with customer orders, I just gave up. Now its been about two weeks since my best friend Roger passed away, my dog, and I have decided to re-open my Etsy shop  and take things very slowly. I am feeling much better now especially after changing my meds around for the arthritis and treatments for my spine issues and also better meds for that. I am not going to do special custom orders this time around nor pay for a website or do all the social media marketing. I'm just going to take it slow and if I can sell my items, great! If I don't, then I won't lose a ton of money trying to kill myself for nothing! ...

  Introduction: Caring for Handmade Items Caring for handmade knit/crochet yarn items can be very easy if you follow some simple instructions, and your items will be able to last for many years to come. Before we get to washing your adorable keepsake items, you must first know exactly what type of yarn the item was made from. This is extremely important and how you will care for the item will be based upon this important fact. Now, I always include a card with my handmade items telling my customer what type of yarn was used in making the item they purchased from me. I believe most other sellers will do the same, but if you were given an handmade item and you do not know the type of yarn used in the making of the item, then always  follow the handwashing and air drying instructions, with for example,  Fine Fabric Wash 3.3 Oz: Lavender ,   as a precaution.  Never Use The Following There are things that should never be used   or done on any handmade yarn ite...
