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.

Little hand exploring the woolly texture of my Threipmuir sweater 🥰 pattern by @ysolda , yarn is the incredible @the_birlinn_yarn_company 4ply. By far my favorite ever jumper! #myhandsmaking #littlehands #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #knitknitknit #handmadewardrobe #welovefrugi #slowmotherhood #sustainablemotherhood #normalizebreastfeeding
We don’t reach for this @petitlulu_eu nappy nearly as often as we should, and I’m not sure why! The print is adorable, it’s nice and absorbent, and while making sure the ruffles are covered might require a bit of extra thought, they set off Willa’s rolls so nicely and fit under a Motherease Airflow with no problem. As much as I love some of the other nappies we have, for me, nothing beats a fitted nappy and good wrap for reliability!This was one of the first nappies I bought from @thenappygurus — maybe it’s time to get another 🦒🦒🦒 #makeclothmainstream #clothnappies #clothbums #otb #clothbummum #ecomama #fluffbum #clothdiapers
After struggling all morning to help my poorly babe nap, we’ve landed here ... nursing and snuggles with this sheepy bum and some simply knitting. I might not be able to move, but there are worse ways to spend Monday morning. #myhandsmaking #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting #musselburghhat #mamamaker
It’s taken the better part of a month of tapping bits and pieces into the Wordpress app when I had a minute, but my first post in ages is up on the blog — a catch up on knitting I did for Willa while pregnant, some things I’ve made for her since she arrived, and a few thoughts on what’s been super useful in her little baby handmade wardrobe. Link in profile if you want some baby inspiration or just to see cute photos of Willa in handknits over the last four months (I won’t tell you how many times I teared up looking at photos of her as a little baba). Photo is by the ever so lovely @morgannamonkphotography who was kind enough to do a maternity shoot for us just 13 days before Willa made her grand entrance. I’m so thankful for photos from that special time of waiting 💛 #myhandsmaking #poppyseedsknits #knittersoftheworld #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #babyknits #babyknitting #handmadewardrobe #handmadebaby #ecomama
This little lady is poorly, so we’ll be staying inside most of the day methinks — but bringing the outside in with this new-to-us nappy in a pretty water lilies print! We got this secondhand, and it’s the first time I’ve tried an all in one style — let’s see how it goes! I’ve realized that since Willa’s an autumn/winter baby, she rarely gets to move around without lots of layers on — so trying to give her a few minutes in the morning to explore before she’s bundled up in her woollies! (And it gives me time to delight in her little rolls 🥰) Thank you @katie_lee58 for this lovely snuggly blanket — it’s perfect for her morning exploring 💕 With some difficulty because of her cold, Willa’s taking a nap, so I’m enjoying a second half cup of coffee and a few stitches on my Simple Something sweater before she wakes again (second photo) #otb #clothbums #makeclothmainstream #smartbottoms #clothbummum #ecofriendly #myhandsmaking #nevernotknitting #babylife #ecomama
It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to make it to my favorite Monday night knit night at @northern_yarn but joining in in spirit with these two (they’ve yet to get out their knitting, how strange) 👶🐛 And why yes that is a new cast on. Knitting Something Simple by @ankestrick as a mini knitalong with my lovely mom @knit1prltoo — I’m really excited to use up some scraps and stash 🧡 #myhandsmaking #lifewithwillarose #knittersoftheworld #knitknitknit #nevernotknitting #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitstagram #handmadewardrobe
