    Nursery knits

    This beautiful facecloth was made from a pattern in Natural Nursery Knits. I bought this book from my favourite shop in Ryde when Edward was a few weeks old. It is a lovely book, full of unusual patterns and gorgeously illustrated. Now, I can’t knit so you may wonder why I bought a book of knitting patterns! My mum is an amazing knitter and made the washcloth in a couple of evenings. You can see it features Edward’s initial. Edward also has a gorgeous jumper knitted in navy and my mum is currently working on a mobile of knitted birds…

    Another day another softie

    Whilst on holiday on the Isle of Wight I really wanted to make and drop another toy for The Toy Society. So that’s exactly what I did using this pattern. We sneaked out after the baby was in bed (don’t worry, my mum was at home!) and dropped the felt scottie dog by the children’s park by the Canoe Lake, Ryde. It was pretty easy to spot from the children’s park so I hope it gets found soon.
