A new cardy pattern .....

Finished just in time for the Devonport Market this Sunday!
Fabulous beanies and bootees hand knitted by Glennie using a mixture of yarns – pure wool, merino, alpaca & synthetic novelty yarns. Each item is unique!
Finished just in time for the Devonport Market this Sunday!
I think the title says it all - I've progessed to bootees .... oh, and beanies of course!
I just love these buttons
This little set was ordered specially - going to England I believe
And another beanie to match the bootees
I've really had to restrain myself from starting a couple of little cardy's that I have new patterns for so maybe by the weekend all the replacement stock and orders will be finished and I can get creative - yeah
As you can see, Issie is jumping out of her skin with that news and can hardly wait for me to start!
I promised myself last week that as soon as I finished my beanie orders, all I would be making is vests and more vests and that's exactly what I have been doing - to the point that I am now "vested" out ....
Issie cleaning in the sun last Saturday. I read today that overweight people tend to have overweight children and pets ... oh dear.
I'm just finishing an order for beanies for a 4 year old boy and his two sisters - 5 ish and 6 ish. My only brief was to have some black in the boy's one and purple and pinks in the girls ....
Hopefully they'll like them .... When I get an order through Felt or from someone at the Devonport Craft Market at least I know they've seen my work and know what it looks like - and presumably like it as they're ordering! - but when it's an out of the blue word of mouth order I do worry a bit.
As soon as I finish them it will be straight back into replenishing stock for the next market. I had a run on my little vests last weekend which was great then but now it's replacement time and all I really want to do is start a gorgeous new pattern I found last week. However I have, have, have to do the vests first as I do this every month ... knit all these lovely new things and one week out from the market go into total panic mode when I realise how much catch up knitting is left to do! So vests it is ...
Here's Issie deciding whether to explore that big wide world out there ..
