Re-opening

I'm tentatively re-opening my shop for custom orders now that Ava is 6 months old. I'm not sure how much time I will have to knit at the moment so I will only be offering a limited number of custom slots for now. If you fancy a nice new pair of woollies for your little one then please get in touch :-)

Peacock Romper

I had some yarn left over from Ava's peacock dungarees so I decided to play yardage chicken and make her a romper




Sorry it's such a rubbish photo! I still need to make a drawstring for it and I'd better hurry up and do so because it's not going to be long before she's grown out of it!




^See what I mean!

I think she likes it though :-)

Holiday #1

We just got back on Friday from a holiday on the Isle of Wight. My parents moved there last year so we camped in their garden!

We went on some lovely walks...

Visited the donkey sanctuary...

And had lots of picnics while the sun shined :-)

Lots of fun!

Silent Sunday

In Threes Cardigans

I mentioned in a previous post that I was making a pair of In Three's Cardigans for my two girls. Well I've finished them and finally sewn the buttons on. I love knitting but put off sewing for ages because I nearly always stab myself with a needle! I really should stop knitting patterns that need buttons...

Anyway, here's a picture of Ava's cardigan before buttons were added and before blocking. Esmé's is very similar, just bigger and with three bands of garter stitch at the bottom rather than two



And here's a shot of them both together:



Such a cute pattern :-)


I've also quickly knitted a hat and booties set for my friend who is having a baby in the Autumn. The hat pattern was "Devon's hat" by LTK and the booties were using LTK's Moc Booties pattern





Not the best pictures I'm afraid because I was in a hurry to get them done and wrapped up. I think I'll knit another one of these hats for Ava to wear this Winter, I'm such a sucker for knitted baby hats!
