Still on course...

So the March "make" was completed with a few days to spare - and I'm really pleased with it. I wanted to see if I could concentrate to follow a pattern (turns out I'm not a natural..) but after a zillion false starts, I got into the swing of it. I doubt I'll make another one - I prefer less fussy patterns though I loved the colours of the yarn (Crofter).  That said, it's a sweet wee cardi for a toddler and I'm now on the hunt for a dress/leggings or tights for underneath.  The girl is due to arrive in a week or so.



Pattern reading is a whole new kettle of ball games and I'm more of a 'wing it' girl so I really struggled with this - though I am pleased to have found new depths of persistence on the journey!

A boy's jumper next (already on the needles) - requested from friends who work in an orphanage and school in Nigeria.  They've also asked for wooly hats - the craft group in church are knitting like the world's supply of yarn is about to end.  This is a hat prototype - looks a bit odd/long but actually is soft and stretchy.  What more could a wee head want?

    This wee cardigan is super sweet, hope you find the right leggings for it. Little hats for newborn babies I wonder? Perfect to keep those tiny heads warm. I have just given away a load of yarn, what a shame, I could have sent it to your church group, in case the supplies are running low. x

      Thanks Christina, the hats in this case are also for the children in the orphanage and school - So all sizes. The neo natal hats are also on the go - as are the tiny wee jackets, hats and blankets for the smallest babies who don't survive - clothing smaller than you could think about. The folk in the craft group are kept busy! Thanks for even thinking of them for your stash.
