SPRING Baby Crochet Knits

Loads of crocheting happening lately... 

made these for someone special... 

a simple baby sacque for 12 month old and a hat to match... 

100% cotton 8ply from Bendigo Woollen Mills ... 

sometimes you can find the yarn for sale with retailers under the name of Heirloom Cotton 8ply 

Hook:  3.5mm

I designed the HAT to match the sacque...

the sacque pattern "Little Sunshine"

comes from 

LITTLE BOX OF CROCHET FOR BABY

by Denise Black and Sandy Scoville

The pattern is written for

Dreambaby DK (50% acrylic 50% nylon)

and was crochet in YELLOW

just one colour...

whereas I chose 

to do multi-colour

and in cotton

I am not sure if you can still buy the box set

or if it's available to purchase somewhere

maybe on Amazon

or you could try the publishers

Martingdale - Crochet Books

N O W

to change the pace 

I have started a little KNIT project...

because

I need to stop having dreams of crochet 

for a while...

I am sure I don't get enough rest

during the night...

Again I am using Bendigo Woollen Mills cotton

however this time it's 4ply

AND 

a beautiful pale lilac

and knitting on 3mm needles

think it's working out OK...??

I am hoping to turn this sample 

into a baby singlet top?

Maybe......????

Oh well, it's giving me

a short break from crochet

so even if I never finish it

I don't mind...

c'est la vie

What are you crocheting?

or knitting?

Enjoy every moment,

focus on every stitch,

create a masterpiece....

ciao, ciao...
