    About

    I’m using up some odd balls of baby wool from my stash. Hopefully they will help someone in need. I’ve made three so far, all from different patterns. The green cardigan is a pattern from a magazine which I’ve had for years. The speckled green matinée jacket is a Mariana Mel pattern.

        Thank you Michelle. Not so busy really. But been confined to the house for weather and various other reasons so knitting passes the time. And these little things are done in a few days. 😊💕💕

      Lovely little collection of baby knits for your hospital charity Helen. It’s great when you find projects for those little balls that you never realised were there waiting to be discovered 😜🥰

        Thank you Sue. It’s quite fun to make these baby knits as my grands have all grown too big for such tiny garments. And it is also good to know that all those single balls of yarn are not being wasted. I have several bigger projects lined up now though so will have to give the little ones a break for a while once I’ve finished off the current batch. 💕

        @Helen B: Yes, I miss knitting for my grandsons, now aged between 11 and almost 18. Will look forward to seeing your new projects, Helen 💕

      Very sweet baby knits, Helen 🥰. The first little top is interesting, I'll definitely have to knit this one.

        Thank you Linzi. Yes it was certainly different. I’m pleased with how mine turned out but had to try several different contrast yarns until I found one which had a similar tension to the bobbly blue. The one I ended up with is slightly off white and I would have preferred a more pure white, but I’m still pleased with it and will probably make it again. 💕
