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 :-)

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

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!

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!

Morrie's Milo
I've had this pattern in my queue on Ravelry for a while now. I think I bought it and printed it off before I got pregnant with Ava. I even bought some beautiful green yarn from Babylonglegs to knit one with.
Well, I finally got round to it and I'm so pleased with how it turned out:
Morrie refers to it as his "Crocodile top" because the yarn colourway was named "Hungry Crocodile" and he says the cabling looks like a crocodile's tail >.<
I'm looking forward to knitting this pattern again, it's well written and knits up quickly. Morrie has asked for a red one and he has told me I need to make a blue one for his brother. Such demanding children I have... I'll have to convince my OH to let me go yarn shopping!
