WIP Wednesday: Multnomah and Owls

I must admit. I'm no writer and I always struggle with what to say on a WIP Wednesday post. I guess that's why I love instagram so much. I get to show off my work without having to write a load of text alongside it. I'm a great believer in pictures being worth a thousand words. So I'll leave you with pictures of my works in progress.

Pattern: Multnomah
Yarns: Both are unknown unfortunately. The natural yarn was in a bargain bucket at Texere Yarns, but I'm pretty sure it's some kind of wool, the rainbow yarn was a gift from a friend in the U.S, again it feels like wool.

Pattern: Owl Jumper
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky

I've been admiring this pattern for some time now and I'm very excited about finally giving it a go.

FO Friday: Little Sister Dress

Happy Friday fellow bloggers. I'm sorry my posts have been a bit sporadic. I had a minor (or maybe major, as the case may be) medical set back, but I'm slowly getting back to real life. I've mainly been spending time with my family, enjoying the start of a beautiful autumn and thanking my lucky stars that I am still here to enjoy them, so forgive my long breaks, I will get back to normal soon.

On a brighter note, my youngest daughter (who is only 3yrs btw) has been my pillar of strength. She held my hand during a blood test and even gave me stickers for being brave at the hospital...is that just too cute?

Anara gave me her stickers for being brave at the hospital ❤❤❤

Getting back on track... this week I've finished making another Little Sister Dress for a friends little girl. I truly love this pattern and plan on making a 3rd, but this time for my eldest daughter. I'll have to do some scaling up, but it will be worth it. In fact I would love one of these tops myself!

I'll have to try extra hard to post on Wednesday and show you the progress on my new project ;)
