This is something I have wanted to make for a while.. A much-loved character by my now 2-year old.

A very quick crochet project! He is adored and loved!

FO: Blueberry Cardi, again.

I have made a few of these, but I think Tille is now at the end of the stage of wearing the standard sizing. using a size 4.5/5mm needle makes the pink yarn (cascade heathers) a little too gapey. Still, it was a quick knit, and a very handy garment for in-between seasons.

Pattern: Baby Blueberry Cardigan, by The Brown Stitch

Sticks: 4.5/5mm

Yarns: BWM 10ply Luxury in black, and Cascade Heathers in tweedy pink.

Easter Fun

Happy easter to you all! (If you celebrate it!) We don’t do much, really, apart from enjoying some extra bonus time with family and friends.

Armed with lots of food dye and vinegar, I boiled up some eggs ready for the kids to decorate and dye..

Into the dye they go..

And out..

Lots of fun!

And it would be just *wasteful* to pour all that dye down the drain, so..

I am having a fun time playing with a friend’s camera on loan to me, so here is an obligatory bathroom mirror self portrait (man, my mirror needs cleaning!)

The day began well, too, with a delicious brekkie cooked by the fella. Multigrain english muffins topped with sauteed spinach, smoked salmon, and lemon and black pepper, with some thyme mushrooms on the side.

Happy easter! Don’t eat too much chocolate!
