WIP Wednesday: Boob!!!

Did I make it? Is it still Wednesday?

I've been so busy these past few days. Our car died and it's brought with it a few problems, but alas, I'm not here to talk about my life woes...let's see what crafty things I've been up to.

My Little Sister dress has made such little progress that it wasn't even worth my time photographing it, it still looks like this and I'm still reading the Jodi Picoult book.

I did start another project, because 4 WIP's obviously isn't enough :/

A friend of mine is a La Leche League leader and asked me if I could knit her a boob for training...Of course I can!!! :D

Pattern: Customisable knitted boob / breast recipe

WIP Wednesday: Little Sister Dress

It's Wednesday again, it seems to have come around really quickly. 

I'm still working on the Little Sister Dress for my youngest daughter. I'm really enjoying the mindlessness of this project. Apart from a couple of increases every 7th row, I'm just knitting round and round. It's growing slowly due to the yarn being quite thin, but it means it'll be nice for the coming summer months. 

The book I'm reading is "Change of Heart" by Jodi Picoult. I'm not very far in but it's reminding me a lot of "The Green Mile" by Stephen King. In fact some bits of it are almost exactly the same :\ 

I'm also having a fabric dilemma if any of you lovely crafty people would like to help me out. I've had some wonderful ideas through Facebook and will investigate some of them shortly.

I've been getting back into sewing recently, I've made 2 things this past week, they can be seen here and here.

Lastly I'd like to thank everyone for your kind comments. I'm in a bit of a migraine minefield at the moment so haven't been able to be as active as I would like at replying and commenting on your blogs. I have been flicking through and commenting where I can...please bare with me.

WIP Wednesday: Little Sister's Dress and a Doll dress

It's Wednesday again and I seem to have my knitting mojo back. 

I'm currently reading "Before I go to sleep" by SJ Watson. I'm not very far into it so I can't yet tell you if it's any good yet. My girls and me should to visiting the library either today or tomorrow morning so I'm hoping to pick up another Jodi Picoult.

On the needles this week we have Little Sister's Dress and a dress for the doll I made (sorry the pattern isn't on ravelry)

The Little Sister's Dress is a lovely mindless knit. I love things I don't have to think about.  I'm making this for my youngest daughter.

The dress is a basic garter stitch dress

To give you an idea of how it will fit

I just need to find a tiny dolls belt buckle so I can make a belt to go around it.

Oooh and did you notice my new needles?

I'm slowly moving over to symfonie's because I have a nickel allergy and I suspect the metal needles are nickel based. 

I'm also happy to report that I caught my daughter playing with her doll the other day. 

She's very much looking forward to having some clothes for her :)

WIP Wednesday: Little Sister's Dress and a bit of progress on the doll

It's hard to believe that this time last week I was sitting in a family pub garden, with my family, enjoying the warm sun whilst the children played.

this Wednesday, I woke up to this

 

We've had to cancel our plans to go to a friends for an Easter playdate, instead we're stuck indoors making rice crispy buns. I would much rather be at my friends with adult company and the children playing together nicely doing Easter crafting. Oh well :( 

On a more positive note, it means that I now have time to do a WIP Wednesday post. 

I cast on a new project the other night. No I haven't finished the doll yet, but she is slowly making some progress and I hope to have her ready for FO Friday. She currently looks like this

The other project I mentioned is the Little Sister's Dress although I think it's going to be a top rather than a dress for my long 2 year old. The book I'm reading is one I picked up at random from the library and I can't put it down...it is such an amazing book, I highly recommend it. I found out later that it's also a film so I now have that waiting to be watched...must finish the book first though.
