Following on from the first post about this dress: https://kariscraft.space/index.php/2021/02/24/crochet-dress/ I didn’t take many more progress pictures. I kept trying the dress on to increase to the right size and length having measured how much the last few rows of the colourwork would be. I distinctly remembered thinking that my stitch count needed to be …

This brioche crochet jumper by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk of Lilla Bjorn Crochet kept appearing in my Facebook feed on various crochet pages, but it was only when I saw this dress variation by Lisa Khoo I decided I had to make it!

This is another, that when I saw the cable pattern on this cardi I had to buy the pattern. I have made this 6-12 month size, and will hopefully get this in the post to my niece for her little boy before he grows too much! I just need to finish sewing it up, and …

Eagle eyed followers may have spotted this fabric in one of the other posts, when I bought fabric and wool on by birthday day out in Shrewsbury.

With a son called Robin, I can never resist a good robin pattern, especially with this shimmer/foil effect. I wanted to make a skater type …

I drafted a pyjama bottoms pattern from a simple leggings pattern (New Look 6435). Just added a bit for not using stretch fabric, and a bit for comfort. As usual I got carried away doing, and didn’t take pictures of any of this make. Fortunately my mum sent a picture of her trying them on, …

I have already posted Paul’s chilli shirt, this addition is Robin’s – a mini-me version of his Dad! Turns out that Robin has grown rather a lot, and I can no longer use the boys shirt pattern I have been using for him. I made his from the same pattern I use for Paul’s shirts, …

Mum has been knitting us lovely socks for years. I first had a go a couple of years ago when Black Sheep Wools were giving away a free Christmas sock pattern with the wool. They looked lovely and festive, so I thought I would have a go! This potentially put me off socks for a …

Pattern kindly provided for the MKAL by Therése Hedlund-Heap The pattern was released over a 4 week period, and could be knit ‘flat’ or ‘in the round’. I actually learnt a new cast on method for this – the German Twisted cast on – apparently more stretchy at the bottom. It was interesting to learn …
