Weekend in the Dales

Hello, friends, hello!

Phew, is it Tuesday already?  I’m still in a happy, yarn-fume induced haze from the amazingness that was Yarndale.

In fact, it was just about the perfect weekend.

Sunday morning goal complete! Buttonbands usually slow me right down, but I’m so excited to maybe have this done by the end of the year that I’ve skipped my usual procrastinating! Button placement marked on the first buttonband, now a second one to knit and the collar and this baby will be done done done (though I still have to pick buttons ... always a challenge, suggestions welcome!) Pattern is the Felix Cardigan by @savoryknitting knit in @greenmtnspinnery Mountain Mohair. #myhandsmaking #knittersofinstagram #knittersoftheworld #knitknitknit #handmadewardrobe #nevernotknitting
Panda in progress ! Evening knitting has become a thing of the past in recent weeks, swapped for early bedtimes with a little lady overwhelmed from days filled with new experiences. Which is all as it should be, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss my few quiet pre-bedtime rounds just a bit. But tonight, thanks to some awesome settling work by @nickvonderby , we managed to stay downstairs a wee bit longer than usual, and I got to work a bit on this little bear. It might just get finished in time to make it under the tree ... though I suppose Willa will forgive me if it’s a few days late 🎄 Pattern is Panda by @susanbanderson knit knit @barrettwoolco woollen spun fingering ... and the stuffing is British wool! #myhandsmaking #poppyseedsknits #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knitknitknit #slowknitting
Knitted Christmas bauble in progress 🎄🎄🎄 Pattern is Caorann by Sarah Berry #myhandsmaking #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #knitallthethings #handmadechristmas
Ready for blocking! Pattern is @tincanknits Beloved knit in very deep stash @sunshineyarns Sport ... it feels very good to finish something! #poppyseedsknits #myhandsmaking #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #knittersoftheworld #knitknitknit #pyneandsmith
I’m sure there are things cuter than Willa’s feet peeping out of her woolly dungarees. But right now I’m struggling to think of them. Pattern is Willum’s Overalls by @petiteknit knit in beautiful @blackisleyarns Shetland Sport. #poppyseedsknits #woollybaby #myhandsmaking #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting #babyknits
It might be at the big blob stage so not much to look at at the moment, but my #felixcardigan is definitely my most loved WIP currently ... easy enough to work on while I’m breastfeeding (which feels like all the time right now) and destined to fill a big gap in my wardrobe 🖤 Pattern is by @savoryknitting knit in @greenmtnspinnery Mountain Mohair in shade Raven. #myhandsmaking #nevernotknitting #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knitknitknit #slowknitting
