No food today (well, I will be eating some of course!), so click away now if you´re not interested in crochet, knitting or sewing.
Now that you´ve received the Up the Mountain “Reader´s Warning”, on with the update…
Winter means cooler weather and I can get out my scraps of wool, find out who is expecting a baby (there are usually quite a few in the family who are “in the family way”) and get knitting and crocheting.
We have a niece expecting twins and one of my best pals Donna is about to become a great aunt. Sshh, I´m not allowed to call her that!
I´ve made baby blankets…
And a funky coat/jacket for one of the babies (we know she´s going to be a girl) when she reaches a few months of age…
Just needs a couple of bright buttons...
Lots of the men in my life got a beanie for Christmas…thanks to Mandy at The Complete Cookbook for the instructions.
I made myself a little bag…
Then lined it with some pretty fabric I had, which will also make it stronger and less liable to stretch too much.
I made a pinny for Donna (she´s a lucky girl) who moves house next week from London to Lewes. I thought she could run around with a feather duster looking like a 1950´s housewife in this. Recognise the fabric?!
And of course, the enormous orange blanket which the dogs, Luna and Alfi, are On No Account Allowed To Lie On!
