Three Irish Girls

This set was knit with 50% Elenya Alpaca and 50% Merino Wool. This yarn was custom dyed by Three Irish Girls in a green and black colorway. This set is a size 0-6 months. This photo does no justice as to how beautiful these longies are. They would be perfect for any little boy! They’ll be up for grabs in February, but if you really need them, send me an email at homegrownbeans@hotmail.com and I can put them up on the store for you. You can also email me for exact measurements if you are interested.

You can purchase Three Irish Girl yarns at Three Irish Girls and have it shipped to me to be custom knit for you!

Stripey shorties..

This little guy really enjoyed his first pair of knit shorties. His mom and I did a trade for these last summer. He and his mom both were very impressed with the stripes!

Here is a picture that was sent from one of my customers! This is “Tiger” enjoying his new cloth diaper set. How lucky is he, getting to be cloth diapered? Leslie and I did a trade for these diapers, and in exchange she sent our family two absolutely beautiful tie dye shirts. You can purchase these amazing tie dyes at Joyfultiesdyes.com or at Joyful Tie Dye’s Hyenacart.

Striped heart customs

Hello again!
I will have another custom up for grabs in February. It’ll be your choice of colors, but with this basic structure. I made these for my 1.5 year old daughter and she loves them!! I hope everyone else will too! These are knit with Peace Fleece, which is a wool and mohair blend. It’s one of my favorite yarns to work with!

The stripes are green, purple and natural. You can only see the green in this photo because I was playing with a color setting.

This is my daughter wearing them the day they were finished. You can see the colors better here.

Keep an eye out on my store, because in February 2009 I will be stocking custom spots for these longies!

Dinosaur longies

Good evening, everyone! I thought I would update with a picture of a pair of longies that I knit for my 3 year old son for his birthday! He’s really into dinosaurs, so I hand dyed some wool yarn green and brown and then embroidered (my first attempt at embroidery) a dinosaur on the leg. This can be recreated (I adore this colorway!) with or without the dinosaur on the leg, as a custom. Just click on the link at the left to go to my Homegrown Bean’s store and you can start up a conversation there and we can go from there!
