Also for #ShowMeYourKnits sweater week, it looks like I was really into making stripy baby sweaters in 2014-15 🧢

Whoa, how can it be week 84 of #ShowMeYourKnits ? This week’s theme is sweaters - here’s a baby jumper that I don’t think I’ve shared here before, and would like to remake at some point 🧢

Wow, that is beautiful and looks like it took forever to make, I am in awe

I found some glittery sock yarn in Lidl during their crafting event before Christmas too (will use it for decorations later in the year) - usually they do a few craft events a year, but this was the first time I’d seen yarn as part of one

My dad always used to say β€œit’s like the wreck of the Hesperus in here” - it was years before I found out what that actually was!

A couple of not-great photos for this week’s work-in-progress theme on #SewAndTell. This is the early stages of a Sew Over It Farah jumpsuit in a purpley blue cotton. Need to do the cuffs next!

Love this idea!
Work in progress - Sew Over It Farah jumpsuit (will take a photo in the morning)
Not sure whether to finish Fibre Mood Elise blouse or not, think I chose the wrong fabric
Next project - Simply Sewing Maisie blouse (need fabric) or Sew Over It Libby shirt (if I have enough fabric)

Oh dear, I struggle to find any LACE for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits theme - the best I can come up with is this pattern from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. I am sure there will be much more delicate entries! 🧢

I got a set of three, same style as this, called Armindou Embroidery Starter Kit, if that helps (love your work in progress, by the way!)
