Homeless mitts

My husband thinks that only homeless people wear fingerless gloves, but now I wear them too! Well I won't be needing them for a while since it feels a lot like summer already here. The pattern is from the purlbee the yarn is from knitpicks. The colour is called green veggies, I thought it was the perfect colour for a long time veggie lover like me. I had to make a couple of changes to the pattern. I have quite skinny wrists, so instead of casting on 60 stitches, I only cast on 50. I also knitted them an inch shorter that the pattern stated. I used self striping yarn so I only needed to use one ball. Perfect!

Tutu trouble!

 A little while ago little Miss M. went to a birthday party and came hope with a pink tutu. She wore it everywhere and totally loved it, until it developed a big hole and soon it was beyond repair and so she started asking me for a new tutu. Then I remembered reading this post on the Blue Blog such a long time ago and  before I knew it I was making my own no sew tutu.

 

There is nothing more fun than jumping on the trampoline in a tutu.



Once I'd made one for little Miss M. I knew I couldn't let her have all the fun, so little Miss I. got one too. She's not as in love with it as her big sister, but there is room in it for her to grow, so maybe when she's a little older she will have fun playing dress up.

Little Mr. M. didn't want to miss out on all the dress up fun so now I will be laughing at this video clip for years to come as he dances around acting all goofy.
