Knitting & Sewing

Finishing up. A project, a plea and a book crush.

Finishing up. A project, a plea and a book crush.

While I’ve been lacking in blogging, I’ve been pretty busy doing other things, alongside home educating, settling Amelie into school and bringing little boys. He’s such a big boy now, so much part of everything. Walking, contributing to life with the ever present, all useful “da!” and generally making a mess and an impression....

We dipped into Remembrance Day crafts again today, ready for spending some time on World War work on Thursday and Friday. We’ve covered this a fair bit over the last two years and so it was easy to pick up the threads of previous work, especially as Fran has been doing WW1 recently too....

I’ve been enjoying watching a real change in my girls over the last few days. Amelie and Josie have both really persisted at sewing Tudor clothes for their Groovy Girl dolls and have got better and better as they went along. Both sewed gather petticoats in jersey fabric (idea for a doll, falls really...

I fear I left it too long with this one. I started it when he was a few weeks old and got distracted, thought it wouldn’t matter because he was so small and then he got huge through doing all the feeding that stopped me knitting and now this is clearly only going to...

Finished it Friday: Crocheted Bag.

I wanted to have another go at something felted in Adriatic felting yarn. So far I’ve been disappointed with this wool felted though and happy with it when crocheted. Having had a book for my birthday with some east projects in it, I decided to give a simple clutch bag a go. The bag...

I’m properly proud of this, as it’s my first ever completed baby clothing item and I think it came out okay too. Ben’s is still waiting to be made up but I wanted to get Nina’s in the post so I finished hers off first. That’s Ben’s on the right. I think I liked...

Really and truly I’m mid making some little cardigans for Ben, Nina and Kit but now that Ben is properly into cloth nappies I needed something for putting his terry bum wipes into. I’ve got an awful lot of felting yarn, so I thought I really should have another go at making a pot....

One thing you don’t really get to do when you have 3 other children under 6 and a husband who needs to be back at work 6 days after you leave hospital with your low iron levels and your newly soft furnished mind, is babymoon. Life after Josie was born was more an exercise...

Last week I partook of Finished it Friday a couple of days early without knowing that by Friday my major project of the day would actually be a brand new baby, who arrived 3 weeks early. After finishing his Blanket, I made him a coming home hat, using a really easy baby hat pattern...

Crocheted Felted Baskets

By

My overwhelming urges to do creative new things have been somewhat stumped by the huge nesting/decluttering urges and the amount of knitting I’ve been doing for Marmite’s arrival. Having made the squared blanket, I decided the back wasn’t soft enough to be a first wrapping blanket, so I’m making it into a lined blanket...
