FO Friday: Hitchhiker and Dolman top

Happy Friday everyone! and for those with children, I hope you're enjoying the summer holidays.

I have 2 finished objects to show you this week, I know it's been a while, but I'm going to try and complete at least one sewn item a week from now on, since I've now got a place to sew. It;s not much, but it's a massive improvement on the kitchen side I was using. 

Ok onto the finished items. First up is the Hitchhiker scarf I've been working of for weeks/months. I've really enjoyed making this scarf. All those lovely little rainbows that formed on my needles were such a pleasure to look at. I will definitely be buying some more yarn from A Stash Addict



and the big ta da!!!!




I think it looks better on this little cutie


but here it is on me anyway

and on the sewing front I made a Dolman top (pattern by Kitschy Coo)








I just have one more Dolman top to make (for my smallest) and then I'll be going back to woven fabrics only (unless someone wants to generously donate an overlocker to me)

For more lovely finished objects, have a look at Tami's Amis 

WIP Wednesday: Hitchhiker

Have I ever mentioned that I'm a slow knitter? Well I think my WIP is proof of that...yes I'm still working on the Hitchhiker.

It goes everywhere with me, the hairdressers, on the school run, shopping, Friday nights with my friends...everywhere. It doesn't always make it out of my bag though.

I've finished Totoro, but will save that for Friday ;)

FO Friday: Rainbow Cardi

It's finished and I'm really pleased that my Instagram friends made me finish it.

Unfortunately it didn't dry quite as quickly as I thought it would so here are some pictures of it blocking

I wasn't sure that the buttons I'd bought would go with the vibrant colours of the yarn, but I think they work.

In other crafty news, I received the most amazing box of craftiness from the most amazing American lady

Just this view made me go squeeeeeeee!!!!

  

I'm so touched her generosity. 

In the sewing section, I'm working on a dress for my eldest daughter. Her school have some Jubilee celebrations coming up and have asked that the children go to school dressed in red, blue and white for the occasion. I've had a pattern for a cuppy cake dress for a while now, so I thought I'd make use of it and make her a Jubilee dress.

These are the fabrics I'm using

I started cutting the pieces yesterday and will hopefully get some done today too.
