Hello Again

It’s been a long time since I last wrote here. Honestly, there are days I completely forget this blog even exists. But yesterday, I started scrolling through some of my old posts, and it made me smile. I loved revisiting those memories, the little things I did with my oldest daughter, the moments we shared. It reminded me how nice it is to have those stories written down. I think I want to start keeping a diary again, something my kids can look back on one day, so they’ll always know how much I love them and how special those times were to me. A lot has happened since my last post. Back then, I was pregnant with my second daughter, and now we have three girls! Little M isn’t so little anymore; she’s a teenager now, studying for her GCSEs. My biggest inspiration, the one who taught me all these crafts, my mum, passed away a year and a half ago. The only thing that hasn’t changed is that I still crochet and knit, remembering her with every stitch. Today, her absence hit me ...

"Bow"tiful vest knitting pattern

 A few years ago I knitted  a vest for Little M and it was very popular. Many knitters asked for the pattern but there is not a written one for that vest. I counted the stitches and knitted another one to write the rows. The yellow one is knitted using 2 balls of  Berroco comfort worsted yarn with 5 mm knitting needles. The chest is 60cm and it is 52 cm long and suitable for 4-5 years old. For the second vest I used double knitting yarn and 3.5mm knitting needles. 20 gr of white yarn and 30 gr of mint yarn is left. The chest of the vest is 45 cm and it is 40 cm long and suitable for 2-3 years old. For worsted weight yarn make the button holes in every 12 garter ridges. With double knitting yarn I made the button holes every 10 garter ridges. k : knit p : purl yo : yarn over k2tog : knit 2 stitches together c8f : take 4 stitches on cable needle and keep them on the front, knit next 4 stitches and knit 4 stitches on the cable s1 k2tog psso : slip 1 stitch,...

Yay for more bunnies!

I love bunnies, such cute and fun animals. That is why I always refer to bunnies when I am talking about my kids. And now good news! Yay for more bunnies! My sister is pregnant and soon we will meet her very own blue bunny. As an auntie I had to make some toys for him. I made a bunny teething ring which   fabric design version is seen all around. I really love the idea, basic but fun! I also made a bunny rattle from Lucia  Lanuka`s pattern which is also very popular. I sent my presents, including  some lovely little man clothes and a blanket I made,  to my sister before he arrives. I dont have photo of all of them but I am thinking and looking for more boys amigurumi toys which I will share later.  I will be making more for him and this time I will give them to him myself (I hope) when I meet him (probably next summer).  That is con of living in another country. You cant catch the news on time. :(  I have my notes and the pattern for the teething ri...

Lienemien - Sleeping Dolls Pattern

When I added sleeping dolls photo to my  facebook page  and shared it, I was so surprised and happy to get a lot of interest in them.. It has been one of my favorite patterns. It is easy and quick to make. I also dont like sewing arms, legs and head in amigurumi and this pattern is just my type, it is made in one piece. Thank you very much to  Sil`s corner  for this lovely, cute dolls.  Many people asked for the pattern, I shared the original link from  Sil`s corner  but unfortunately the  pattern is not in English. For myself I used google translator to make it, but here is the English version of it. You will need; - two colors of yarn and a tan color. You can choose any yarn of your stash. Depending in the yarn and hook you use, your doll size might be smaller or bigger. (I use yarn art jeans with 2.5mm crochet hook) - crochet hook, always use one size smaller than the recommended hook so your stuffing wont escape between the stit...
