9-month craft project

Well - I thought I would pop in and show off my latest FO...
 
This one took 9 months to make and is now 11 days old.  He's called James, and he is keen to model some of his knitwear, so here goes...

  8. Hi!
    Your knitting is amazing. I particularly love the confortable. I was wondering if I could ask you a favor. I have requested the English instructions on Ravelry but have not heard back. I was wondering if you would mind emailing them to me. I am pregnant with our 7th and would LOVE to make this. I am only a month and know it will take the whole time! :)

    If you don't mind..my email is
    jacquimaxfield@gmail.com

    Thank you so much!!!!!!!
    Your knitting is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

  9. I love love love your confortable jiffy bag! My sister in law is pregnant and I would love an English translation. Do you have one or know where I could get one? I think that this pattern (and your work) is incredibly stunning. My family had a knitted outfit that many grandmothers ago had made for us kids. All the children in the family wore the outfit on the day they were born. Unfortunately, this outfit burnt in my parent's house fire in '07. My younger brother asked me to create a "new heirloom" for the family. I was so honored to be asked and would love for it to be this pattern! My email address is mrs.tara_adams@yahoo.com.

  10. Hi Susan,

    I am also in love with the jiffy bag, can I please have the pattern? I almost gave up knitting, but seeing this cute thing (and being 7 months pregnant), I would love to pick it up again. My e-mail is vlozovsky@hotmail.com. I really appreciate it!!!
