My beautiful sister is getting married in 1 month and 2 days time. Having the little ones it can be difficult to find a formal suit or clothes for them to wear for the occasion in Belgium plus for some odd reason I was over come with the desire to make something special for them to wear. Back in March time ( or there about) it really did seem like a good idea and as if by some magic spell or touch of destiny I already had a sewing magazine with the perfect little waist coat. It also had shorts with the outfit but being Northern Ireland (where the wedding will be) the weather won't be the most reliable for sunshine on that day. But I thought sure the shorts are easily made longer into lovely trousers.True enough adapting the shorts to trousers was fine and I have the material all ready to be sewn and C's waist coat is ready to go I just have the buttons to find. Now my problems all started whenever I decided the babe and C would wear the same. No problem, oh how wrong could I be. First the pattern doesn't come in little Babe's size, oh dear oh, it is very complicated to resize a pattern for a little tiny person. But through many hours cursing and trial making I have done it.
Now by this stage I have lost the love of making these blessed outfits!! I think from now on I will just stick to the pattern given and knitting! Here is Little Babe's new manly vest freshly finished for when Autumn arrives. You can find it on Ravelry
I ordered The Knitted Farmyard a few weeks ago and was very excited to start making some little animals for the farm project. So I started off small. I made 3 chickens and two ducks. 
I think my little chicks looked good but one of my ducks looks more like a seagull! Makes me smile. I didn't like the donkey from the book so I used another pattern. Now these are for Charlie but Andrew wants some animals as well so I am now making another set. As I make more of the farm I will post more pictures. I dont think I will follow the book but it is lovely for inspirational ideas.
