The Mock Turtle

I am halfway through the pages on the construction of the tiny things, then it moves into arranging the tiny things, and building the actual greenhouse around it all.

Baa!! That is so tiny, so cute and so well made!

My friend's MIL has made a quilted blanket for my friend's 5 year old stepson. She said "All my other grandchildren have a Granny quilt, so here is yours." She truly is one of the kindest people on the planet.
It's reversible "Bears" quilt.

The bears are so cute! That's lovely of your friend's MIL.

Cor!

That’s fab, SM! I love the way she’s quilted around the bears.

That’s cute!

A dress, a wrap top and a jacket/skirt combo I’m undecided about.

I can't believe you're so good! I love the slouchy jacket from the set, it's got a sort of 80s vibe to it. Which actually is probably right in fashion now.

The dress also looks amazing, I love the print.

I have finished my random knitting project, it ended up as a throat warmer in the end. I have just steam blocked it to make it feel a bit softer - not that it’s scratchy or anything.

I did an invisible rib cast off for the first time yesterday whilst vaguely watching the rugby, I do like the finish that gives. It was fun with three strands of yarn on the needle and a very long tail. I also made up the side seam with three strands and swapped colours a few times on the way so that it wouldn’t stand out - it’s hidden at the back in the picture though.

Next time I try something along these lines I’ll plan the colours a bit more harmoniously.

I posted on a copy of the page that I’d loaded earlier and hadn’t seen your stuff Wendy. I agree the suit jacket is lovely, I especially like the cuffs. It feels like chic Miami Vice.

Wendy! Where do you find time to do all this???

I love sewing but never think I have any time to do anything... the last things I made were soft baskets for toiletries. Im perfectly capable of making clothes etc but I don’t. Must try harder

I’m not doing much else at the moment. I cut out patterns (that I hadn’t already made) and fabric Friday evening and did sewing on and off all weekend.

I made up my cardigan too. It’s much shorter than the pattern but I wanted more of a waist length one.

Those are lovely Wendy! I like the slouchy jacket a lot.

This seemed like such a great idea

Wendy, I love the jacket and skirt. It looks a lot like something I made and wore in the 80s. But perhaps you didn't want to have that reference.

Baa - you are amazing. I'd be so rubbish at that teeny tiny work.

I love the bear quilt and your cardigan too, Wendy.

Same Absley, I’d get really annoyed with myself (it) too. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product baa!

I'm trying to start the granny go round jumper Lazzi posted a link to but I've hit a problem. How do you stop a long chain from twisting when you join it? I've watched videos on YouTube but it keeps happening.

I’m not sure about that one Shoe, as I’m guessing flattening it out before joining isn’t working?

2 needle socks. They’re knitted in one piece then joined in a side seam. Dead easy.

I cracked it eventually. Lying it straight was not working so I ended up using a ring binder folder to wrap it around and hold it in place.

Your socks are fab!

Innovative! Glad it worked.
