Colourful Cottage

My daughter's Dorothy dress is finally finished, just in time for her party tomorrow ­¤śü not bad for my first finished sewing project #learningtosew #wizardofoz #childhood #birthdayparty #fancydresses #dorothy #sewing #sewcialist #notalwaysknitting #handmadewardrobe #sewing #sewingproject #sewistsofinstagram #sewist

Finished the #covecardigan by @thevelvetacorn and I absolutely love it! Really quick knit up, only started on Tuesday. Probably my favourite one I've made so far. Looks soo cute! #alwaysknitting #handmadewardrobe #memadewardrobe #knittingaddict #knittersofig #knitted #handmade

FINISHED I have a pair of socks! ­¤śü #socks #alwaysknitting #knittersofig #knittingaddict #knitpro #winwickmum #dropsfabel #memade

Really should be getting on, but it's too nice lazing in the sun knitting socks #alwaysknitting #knittersofig #knittingaddict #knitted #knittedsocks #winwickmum #dropsfabel #drops

So after a complete fiasco of my first attempt. I am an inbetween size so mistakenly went size up... it was about 4 inches too wide and would look like I was a kid wearing daddy's jumper ­¤śé unravelled it all and started again. Joys of bottom up jumpers I guess. Went down a size, plus one extra round of honeycomb (8sts). I'm going to have to do some fiddling with stitches when I get to join it all together, cross that bridge when I come to it. Hopefully finish body today and start on arms tonight. @knitbot #wharfstreetpullover #gettingthere #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #knitted #slowfashion #memade #knitaddict

Treated myself to a little present, time to get blocking!

Treating myself as the Autumn is drawing in

Sewing ends in as girls play, beautiful lazy afternoon :D

Sorry Ive been a bit quite on here, been a bit busy doing my other job (bookkeeping and tax returns). Just been doing a few bits for myself after the rush before Christmas. Playing around with bits in my stash with this beautiful Heidi Bears African flower. My daughter got this rather gorgeous doll bed for Christmas and I feel it needs a little blanket :)

Made my daughter a special Stampycat present for Christmas. She was very pleased :) Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
