Sharing my knitting and crafting journey. I am still learning, this is all a learning curve, but wanted to share some of my creative projects with the lovely knitting community.
Will be sharing knitting projects (of course!), but also sewing and other crafting.
I am interested in trying to make more sustainable choices and this is also something I am learning about.
Occassionaly I sell some of the crafts I make. If you are interested, I recommend giving me a follow on instagram as this is where I am most present.

Thank you for another lovely episode!
No problem!
as they say you do you. Your baby is so sweet. Thank you for sharing. ttfn
:) yes he is!
Oh my heart. The baby!! 🥰 So precious
I know!
You’re very lucky,🍀 winning two times from prize draws!
@@melissalampman7214 indeed! 1 was a couple years ago :)
Hi , your baby is so cute!❤ the links is not working when you press the more button, it going to a blank page, so worries, saving me $
Oooo which more button? Ha
In the best way possible, you remind me of the daughter from the borrowers movie! The hair color, the hairstyle, the background, the outfit, the creativity!! I’m obsessed.
Ha you arent the first person to say that 😆
Isn't that Andrea's birds of a feather shawl (not find your fade)? Didn't realize those 2 were so similar
@@verversa no it's very definitely find your fade :) turns out the only difference is the fade and the type of lace
@orchidsheart oooohhh! Interesting! Yours is gorgeous. Would be my color choice as well.
The hair on that baby! Gorgeous!
I know!
Perfectly normal you struggle with Time, as a new mum. Hope you find something you feel comfortable with. You are already doing amazing, making the time very consciously to keep making 👏 lovely to see a glimpse of the beautiful countryside on your trip 😊
Thank you 💛
Thank you for the mention. Hope the bag and yarn come in useful x
No worries! And thank you
Awe, look at that crop of hair on this prescious "little pumkin", so adorable. 🙂 I keep thinking to knit one of Andrea Mowry`s shawls. Can`t decide which one though. I love the "Find your Fade" ... hm.... I also like the "Nightshift", the "Hugg Hugg Kiss Kiss", the "What the Fade?!" and the "Winter Honey". 🙂
Her patterns are so gorgeous.i love birds of a feather the most
Thank you for such lovely words about my bags! I’m so pleased you’re enjoying them xx
They are totally worth it
Yes can recommend Serious lights. Expensive but definitely an investment ❤
Oooo will look it up thanks
Thank you for another lovely podcast and for treating us to footage of your beautiful baby & lovely holiday place. Such special times x
Thanks!!
Bless you 18:08
Hello, such a cosy episode thanks! When you go apple picking you are wearing a wonderful pinafore, did you make it? Is it a Hinterland dress? Have a lovely day ❤❤
@@anaellebilloet2005 thanks! No I didnt make that dress, it was made by a small Maker from merchant and mills linen, she isn't selling anymore so I bought it second hand. You probably could make similar with the skirt of the hinterland dress, it has a flat waistband at the front, elastic in the back and the bib with straps. Hope that helps
@orchidsheart thank you for your answer. I will try that😀
You may be able to add elastic to the waist of your dress either all the way around or leave the front 12 cm flat. Darts would also work to give shape to both the bodice and skirt.
@@jilliankonig2759 yes I'm planning to do darts probably!
I just did the same thing on an overall colorwork sweater. I ended up ripping back the sleeves and I'm still unsure if I'll be happy with the decreases on the sleeves. Good luck with using that nap time for your projects!
Oooof ripping back all over colour work sounds hard!
The socks are so cute. You know what was great with our baby, but which you didn't see that often, little leg warmers!
Yes it's a good idea
Oh, and I love the egg carton idea! I have an advent collection from Sweet Sparrow that I need to do something with and I’ll definitely keep that storage idea in mind.
Glad its inspired you!
I remember my daughter having the same problem with her sons pants riding up in the baby carrier. She used store bought leg warmers and those worked well. Maybe you could knit a pair of those instead of socks? Also, the socks you made are adorable. Hang them on your Christmas tree!
Yes I might end up doing that
Another option would be to add a waist channel and a small drawstring inside so you can have the option of loose or fitted, but it's also hidden x
Yes!
Is it the Anthea blouse?
Yes
I need to sew me some bob pants. I have the pattern but also a wriggly 6 month old. I'm just so fed up of the three outfits that currently fit me!
Urgh I do know what you mean about being fed up with what fits- I'm enjoying the couple of things I've made tho
Honestly, it makes me feel so much better that even an experienced crafter like you makes some "mistakes" when you hack things together. Enjoy your baby time.
Oh I make mistakes all the time. Especially when I experiment! Most things can be saved if you have the patience though
Thank you so much for using your precious baby-free time to share with us! Love your podcast! I think your Ovis sweater is marvelous just as it is. The puffy sleeves suit you! Lucky baby to have a Mommy who creates adorable outfits to wear!
Thank you !
That's a shame about your new dress. I was going to suggest taking off the skirt and putting days in the bodice as well. I hope you can fix the dress and make it more wearable for you. The Bob pants look great on you! 🤎 I really like the look of these pants and have checked out a few on Instagram, however I'm a bit worried about how wide the legs are and whether they would suit my plus size body. I look forward to seeing more of your making that you can achieve in those stolen moments around carrying for your baby!
Could you make up a pair in some old bed sheets or thrifted material to see if you like the shape? If you search the hashtag on instagram do any come up on a similar body ? I will work on the dress when I get a chance !
@@orchidsheart yes. I recently cleaned out my linen closet and have kept some old sheets for using as toiles 😀 thanks for your suggestion. It's much appreciated! Happy making! 💜
I really like the Ovis sweater on you! I think the colours and the circular yoke look super flattering. Also the sleeve length is something I'm beginning to see more of lately. Called 'bracelet' length sleeves, they again look very flattering and are apparently very practical too for housework. I really like the look of the Bob Pants - they have this easy breezy look to them and feel like they would be great for hot weather in some light linen material. Do you think the pattern is easy to follow for a beginner though? I've heard good things about the Pamona Pants too and not sure if that would be a better one to purchase for a beginner seamstress? Thanks for uploading and it's always nice to hear from you <3
Oh the bob pants are super easy to make! Go for it! Thanks!
I suggest looking up the magic heel sock. It’s very forgiving.
Oo good to know. I have socks down for me but not him!
Ohhhh I love your sweater/cardigan. If you think the sleeves are too wide, why not rip them back a bit and decrease several stitches while you knit them longer. I can’t do 3/4 sleeves, as I’m always freezing. It’s a gorgeous pattern. Hope you finish it 🙂
I decreased rapidly on the sleeves already which is why they are an odd shape :( at this time of year, a shorter sleeve does me well but it wouldnt be a winter one
So nice to see you doing so well. Thank you for sharing your wips and your time with us. For the cardigan: it looks beautiful, I would add another greyish yarn to the mix so you can comfortably make the sleeves the length you like, and the body too. It's worth it, you'll be wearing it for years. Love your knits, love your style. ❤
Thank you
All those jumpers are lovely, lucky baby.🙂👍
Awww thanks
The cardigan looks really gorgeous on you!
Thanks! Hopefully I'll finish it
The mushroom embroidery is adorable! I'd take the time to remove the skirt and add darts to the bodice. The fabric is so lovely that it would be a shame to have a dress that you don't reach for. I don't think you'll regret taking the time to add darts:)
Thanks yes I probs will have a look at the dress, I want to wear it!
Love,love,love your knitting you are so talented.🙂👍
Thanks!
I am in awe of what you can knit, they are absolutely beautiful. Keep on doing what you are doing.🙂👍
Thank you, I will
Could you put some belt loops on the dress and cinch it in that way? Might be more flattering and still adjustable for a changing post partum body
Deffo could- good idea. Prob wont this time but will save the idea for a future mishap
Love love love your petiteknitter cardigan, the sleeves work and I hope you are going to love it again at some point and continue to knit on it when you do
I'm sure I will eventually. I'm obsessing over another project then will go back to it
I love your creations. You have wonderful taste in clothes. Would darts be possible for your dress?
Thanks. I think so. Going to hopefully try tomorrow
Haven’t seen you for a while so the baby was a surprise - congratulations. The egg box idea is genius, well done.
Ha surprise baby,! Thanks
Junasukka sock pattern on Ravelry is a free pattern for baby socks that stay on. There is a sweet story behind the creation of this pattern too. It may help to keep baby’s feet from escaping his socks. ❤
Thanks for the info! :)
So lovely to see you again and catch up 😊
Thank you! 😊
I really liked this cozy podcast episode, thank you so much for sharing it. The little baby socks were so adorable 😍
You are so welcome!
I highly suggest you learn on a spindle and then you’ll start to understand how spinning works. That’s how I did it and spinning really fun now.
@@Serenity-fu8xz I tried and hated it :) but have managed to get going on my wheel now!
Lovely video! I would love to see your Arenite Pants and hear about the pattern from you. Lovely wishes from Germany!
Thanks, I fear this would be quite a boring video tho as I've not made any mods on any of them
The incredibly sticky stick seed heads are called “hitchhikers”Sending you love from California.
@@Serenity-fu8xz ahhhh, they are horrid 😆😬 thanks!
It would be helpful if you added links.
Hi sorry these videos take ages to make and edit and I dont have the time to add all the links too. You should be able to get patterns quickly on google tho with the names in the description. Thanks!
Your description is missing the Alaska pullover! Camille ? In Gotland wool. It is gorgeous and that chart is just what l am needing for a panel with a varigated pink/white/blue yarn in the background . . . Planned to be like winter trees and sky here in southern Sweden.
Hi there, oops! Yes its Alaska Sweaterby Camille Descoteaux ooo that sounds lovely
What a sweet video with your little one, too! So glad to hear all is well, and love seeing your knitting progress as always.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on the arrival of your baby - what amazing hair! With regards to breastfeeding, by next Summer your bust should have settled down and not feel as big as it does now so your tops may well fit. I love the M&M floral cotton. I’ve been talking myself out of buying some since I first saw it. Personally, I’d probably wait until Spring before using it. You should have an idea of your body shape by then. Lots of love. Laura
Yes I think at this point its prob for the best:) thanks
