It’s wonderful to read about your joyful balance of crafts and motherhood! My wee one is 4 1/2 months old and making time is slim but I’m enjoying a Dathan by Kate Davies - lots of stockinette with creative decisions about the colour stripping on-the-go.
I got lucky with my first knit garment, a Tild by Orlane Sucche which is still in regular rotation, I’m also tempted to knit another!
It would be lovely to cross paths at a Woolly Good Gathering, I’m hoping to be there on the Friday - a rare non-baby activity in my diary!
I'm so glad you enjoyed reading Hannah! Dathan sounds like a perfect project for sneaking in when you can -- looking forward to seeing yours! How wonderful your first garment is still in rotation, that pattern has been on my to make list!
It'd be so nice to cross paths at Woolly Good! I'm going up on the Saturday, if your plans end up changing, do let me know and I'll be on the lookout for you!!
Happy Spring! The Easter crafts are so much fun - especially love those egg carton daffodils!
My oldest me-made garment is a Heidi Kirrmaier Fine Sand cardigan knit in a sport weight merino from Skein Australia in 2015. Great design, beautiful yarn, but not a good combo as the merino didn't hold its shape well and of course pilled like crazy. I wore it as a house cardi for years. Then last year, desperate for a basic cardigan for a travel wardrobe, I cleaned it up, fixed all the snags, depilled it, and took it on a trip! It's back to being a house cardi now, but it worked so well that I'm thinking of knitting another Fine Sand in a sturdier yarn.
I've had some knit garments follow similar trajectories -- to house garmnet, then back out again! Maybe you'll find the the perfect yarn for Fine Sand at Wonderwool! That's a beautiful design, it looks so easy to wear
Such joyful photos especially your happy face wearing your lovely spring cardi ❤️ my oldest make is a chunky merino very felted jumper and I have been thinking it might be a fun pillow but not sure where to start as the fabric is so thick!

LOOOOVE the idea of repurposing as a cushion!!
The egg cups are phenomenal! My favourite make for this time of year is simnel muffins. Absolutely scrumptious!!
Mmm simnel muffins sound delicious!!
