Comfort Mum and Bub

I wanted to make something similar to Shalom with 2 skeins of Cascade Ecological wool. I tried to crochet something similar but I wasn't happy with my attempts. I decided to do a prayer shawl that I could also use as a blanket.


It was quickly made and used just one skein. I think its big enough.

Furoside shawl

Just a few pics of my awesome boys modelling a crocheted shawl from Noro Furoside and Plymouth baby alpaca. I might redo the lower edge in another yarn but I love it all the same. The textures of each yarn are the opposite, the alpaca being super soft.

Green Neighbours

Neighborly again. This time in the suggested yarn (Lamb's Pride). I much prefer Lanaloft that I used last time but I still liked the end result. Noro again for the collar and stripes. I did 10 stripes to make it a tad longer.



 

 

Again it fits Av and J. N hasn't tried it on yet. I left the armholes unfinished which I actually like, surprisingly. I used a flat button with another on top and I like the effect. I also made the button placement on the other side albeit unwittingly.
I love this on Av.

Community Festival

This post is from from my other blog here

We got a pamphlet in our mailbox which Av promtly stole and looked through. It was for the local community festival and he had spotted the kids cooking session. He was so excited about going and I thought why not? He was not quite old enough (targeted for 5-15 years) but N decided he would go too so it was worth going.




They started with pizza topping. I think it was overwhelming for Av though N really got into it and took it very seriously.



They also made berry muffins. Av came into his own when he carefully put his mixture in the pan. The teacher came over and was so amazed by this that she awarded him a prize. He was taken aback by the attention and went shy. He was too cute apparently.

N also got the same prize (sushi making kit) for answering a question about leafy vegetables.




The muffins looked delicious and the pizza was good too. 

They each got a showbag and all this for free, I thought that a great deal.

There was free entertainment and much to see.





N had a go at hip hop dancing at the workshop. He was given loads of attention and he was really keen on it.









We were joined by J and Dad.





The boys got a ride in a teacup!





It was a fun and worthwhile day.

Menstrual cup pouches

I made one (uterus shaped) for me and the berry one for my daughter for when her time comes. The uterus shaped one is fantastic, fits my mooncup snugly. Not that I need it at the moment, but its nice to be prepared.



Crocheted in 1824 cotton and the green is Anchor Magicline.
